Haiku Friday: Napping

 

One of the great pleasures of summer is the chance to take a nap in the sunshine-- by the pool, or the ocean, even on the couch in your own front room. Let's haiku about that this week! Here, I will go first:
 
Rarest luxury
An afternoon and sunshine
My breathing slows down.
 
Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern, and have some fun!

Comments:
I see my dog who
seeks the floor’s patch of sun for
a languid liedown.

I see my husband
whose years lead his head to nod
after our supper.

I see myself give
into droopy eyelids on
weekend days, post-lunch.

We three give into
our body clocks whose rhythms
insist: rest … rest … rest.

 
Shh....He is asleep!
So peaceful. Well-deserved rest.
Blissful summer nap.

Uh oh! Wake up NOW!
To the boat! Rescue siblings!
Guess I'll take that nap!
 
Lazy afternoon
Lounging chair, book at ready
My eyelids closing

 
Napping; siesta
An underrated concept
Helps one refocus
