Haiku Friday: Summer jobs
That's my sister Kathy, happily gutting a fish up at the Island last summer. There is something about summer tasks-- grilling, fish-catching, mowing the lawn-- that get built into our sense of self.
So that's one kind of summer job you can haiku about.
The other is the more traditional "summer job"-- those temporary employments during high school and college. Feel free to cover that, if you would like.
Here is mine:
I drove a combine
In thick, lush fields of green peas
Unlikely farm hand.
Now it is your turn! Craft a poem that has about 5 syllables for the first line, 7 for the second, and 5 for the third, and you are in business!

Poor Anonymous! That haiku made me laugh hard.

Movie concessions:
Got my fill of popcorn and
free midnight premieres.
Cleaning the popper
is grimy, hot work. P.S.
Never get "butter."

Indigo sky chucked
Insults early morning bus
White dress hairnet charm.
Breadsticks white hot shot
Like Missles down the belt,is
THIS my life's work?!

The aged don with
Bergemot scented breath.Silk
Ties kid leather shoes.
I transcribed his notes
And all of a summer kept
A garden in his bed.

White cupboard of jars
In a Catholic family's house
Eight kids. I babysat.
I also cleaned.Jars
Baby food jars they were,filled
With water. I poured
Water in sink,tossed
Jars in trash...they were filled with
Holy water! Prot!
