Haiku: Asian Arts and Crafts for Creative Kids | Patricia Donegan

Just a haiku inspired by the constant commercials for different medications. It could help you, or even cure you, but watch out for the crazy amount of side effects including death. It‘s wild 🤦‍♀️😅😮 #haikuaday #haikuhive

AmyG Ha, yes….we always chuckle that death could be a side effect. And don‘t take if you are allergic…duh. And…how many times have those stupid jingles gotten stuck in your head? 🤣 2d

TheSpineView So true. 💛🐝💛 2d

JenlovesJT47 Side effects include things that are worse than what you are taking the medication for, including death💀😆. This is funny and so true. 💛🐝🖤 2d

CBee @AmyG oh my gosh, too many times to count - it drives me crazy!!! And it isn‘t just one jingle - there are so many 🤪😅😂 2d

CBee @JenlovesJT47 exactly! Like, this will help you! Unless you die 😂😅🤦‍♀️ 2d

AnnCrystal I know! Crazy ridiculous. How is that medicine? 👏🏼🐝🙏🏼☠️⚕️☣️🐝💝. 2d

Eggs I love this! The medicated people frolicking outdoors 🎶 while the announcer‘s voice gets fast and low and the side effects are shown in microscopic print at the bottom!#!*%$!! 2d

CBee @Eggs exactly! Especially the ones for things like Crohn‘s and anything stomach related - they‘re rock climbing and riding roller coasters! It‘s a miracle 😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 2d

dabbe Love the dark humor in this! #truth 💛🐝🖤 2d

The song “Wolf,” by First Aid Kit, has been in my head this morning, prompting this haiku. Including the link (in comments) for that song plus another I love by Brandi Carlile (Mama Werewolf). #haikuaday #haikuhive

CBee @CSeydel oh Carrie 😢 I‘m so sorry. I agree it feels like no time at all. May is a low month for me as well, Mother‘s Day, then the anniversary of her death, so I get it. I do hope you can find peace somehow even though you weren‘t on good terms ♥️♥️ 1w

I love stream of consciousness writing, it can be so therapeutic.

TheSpineView I have never written anything in a stream before. Maybe I should give it a try because I find journaling hard and therefore not relaxing. 💛🐝😘 2w

JenlovesJT47 Yes! Writing is my therapy. 💛🐝🖤 2w

CBee @TheSpineView if you just write, not worrying about punctuation or any other “rules,” it can be really freeing and helpful. You should try and see 😊 2w

CBee @JenlovesJT47 writing these haikus is making me remember how much I enjoy it! 2w

JenlovesJT47 Same! Was in a rut for awhile but I‘ve written more in the past week than the whole past year combined. 😳 2w

AnnCrystal 🤩 that's intriguing 👏🏼🐝👍🏼✍️🐝💝. (edited) 2w

dabbe You've captured exactly what SOC is. The picture's perfect, too! 🖤🐝💛 2w

lil1inblue This one is so clever! I love the metaphor! 💫 🐝 💫 2w

bellabella 💛 🐝 💛 😍 😍 😍 2w

CBee @JenlovesJT47 omg yep, same 😳😳🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂😂 2w

CBee @AnnCrystal @dabbe @lil1inblue thank you 💛🐝 2w

Eggs Absolutely agree 💯 Love the haiku AND the background❣️ 2w

Reggie I like this so much. I felt like I fell into the water after that last line. 2w

CBee @Eggs it was meant to be because the background is a PicCollage collection called “haiku patterns” 😊 2w

CBee @Reggie thank you! I feel like that‘s what I meant to convey - sort of a letting go and being free. But be sure you have a life jacket 😂 2w

Eggs @CBee Wow! How serendipitous! 2w

DebinHawaii This is so perfect! 🖤🐝🖤 2w

Deblovestoread Perfectly worded. 2w

CBee @Reggie @lil1inblue thank y‘all - I‘m enjoying writing them 💛 (edited) 2w

CBee @Deblovestoread thank you ♥️ 2w

dabbe The alliteration in this contributes to the monotonous feeling; you hit this emotion right on its head! 💛🐝🖤 2w

CBee @dabbe it‘s so funny because as I‘m writing them, I‘m not even noticing the alliteration 😂 2w

dabbe @CBee I think you're intrinsically feeling it, though! 😍 2w

These little wrens are some of our favorite birds. I discovered a pair building a nest in a hanging plant - so far, no eggs, but apparently they build multiple nests and then choose the best one. Still hopeful! Such spunky little friends. #haikuaday #haikuhive

Eggs Beautiful 🦜🤩 🐦 2w

DebinHawaii I love this. Such a pretty little bird & you‘ve captured her so well! Also love “speckled eggs surprise!” 💛🐝💛 2w

CBee @BooksandCoffee4Me now, hummingbirds are my absolute favorite! I would die if they were nesting where I could see it. I wish we could post videos on Litsy, because once summer really hits, the hummers are out in full force! I love to stand out there and watch them zoom - they are wonderful ♥️ 2w

Tamra Funny you mention it! I only just late last week put up a hanging basket and today I discovered there is already a nest with a tiny blue egg. House wren family. They have been busy! (edited) 2w

CBee @Tamra that‘s wonderful!! I read that they lay one egg a day, so you should have more tomorrow and maybe the next day ♥️♥️ 2w

Reggie What an awesome snapshot of nature in a haiku! This rocks, chica! 2w
