Haiku Friday: 2006
I have been blogging here every day since September of 2006, which was kind of a long time ago. The very first post hit on what turned out to be some eternal themes: I complained about Facebook changing its format, mentioned Gordon Davenport, and promised to avoid mentioning controversies involving my employer.
So, let's blog about 2006-- it was not so long ago that you can't remember something. I'm sure Geoffrey the Mustang Boy, even, can look back that far.
Here is mine:
Hot Waco Summer
I sat by the Ridgewood pool
Cold Margarita!
Now it is your turn... 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables, and I can't wait to see them!

First the sky claimed my
Mother,the ivory child
with silver leaves for hair.
She of tasty tales
Raconteur,style goddess
Cook of love,zest of life.
That was the June bloom
In my spangly fancy dress
August reaped Dad.
A taskmaster with high
Hopes: we would surpass him in
Learning and Happy.
They both collected people.
And so I all my life made
Bouquets of Varied Friends.
The tears come in odd
Places: Grocery Stores,Cafes,
On the farm.Here.Now.

My first kid was born
She's still a light of my life
Along with two more!
The way it went down
Unbelievably messy
It's been a wild ride

Michelle said please one
more child; I resisted. Shows
what little I know.
Technically it
was '07. Katherine J.
The winter of love.

I started writing the Spanishmedievalist back in 2006, and I also wrote this Haiku for the Razor:
Hacer un haiku
En la lengua del Cid es
Inolvidable.
So there it is, a Haiku from 2006 in Spanish, no less. Here's the translation for the monolinguals in the crowd:
Writing a Haiku,
In the language of El Cid,
Unforgettable.

Sal asked me to wed.
She put a note in
My Pabst blue beer can.
I thought it was damn ad,so
Tossed it in the trash.
Countered with indecent
Proposal in her wine glass.
Hit me with fry pan.

Affair--2006
Violins began
Hovering melody above him then me
Heat rose...frescoed room.
Your icy digits on
Neck's back,I was so grateful.
Crystal goblet wine.
Sangiovese
Red your lips flavored by sauce,
Kissed them tasting earth.
Let's go barefoot home.
Walking in the fountain and
Lie in the porch breezes
I will tell you that
We have nothing to do but
Enjoy each other.

Betrayed in a place where
I prayed,I felt deja vu
Deride me again.
Approaching spired
Castle as clean of kings,but
Business prunes hedges here.
