Haiku Friday: Favorite shirt
We all have one! Let's haiku about a favorite shirt today. Here is mine:
Red flannel, soft, warm;
Official Sicky-boy shirt--
Healing properties!
Now it is your turn... it doesn't have to even be a shirt you even own any more, or perhaps one that reminds you of a moment.... 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables and something about a shirt is good enough for me!
Pink, preppy, still own from 1978 will never throw out
My above Haiku is about my favorite pink Oxford cloth shirt from Hickeys of GP. I begged for that shirt. It is so worn and soft and no longer fits, except as a over shirt But I will not part with it. That said...
He leaves for a trip I raid his closet, searching for a reminder
Perfect, comfort found, wrapped within his long arms.. Sleep, sweet dreams, drifting
Gray Dark Knight T-shirt
ReplyDeleteAnnounces to the world that
Good conquers evil.
Snuggly gray sweatshirt
ReplyDeleteDidn't go there but would have
If I had met him.
It tells stories that
I want to know, but do I?
A different time.
Ideas, ideals
We had such promise those years
Coat me in that warmth
MMM
Worn out gray sweatshirt,
ReplyDeleteDuring the Texas summer,
It dreams of winter.

Frustration. I gave it a hug.

An irrigation ditch.His
Ulcers were bitin'.

To do homework.Damn!
