Haiku Friday: Napping

 


It's napping season. At least on weekends, if you are a worker bee like me. So let's haiku about that this week-- it can be about anyone or anything taking a nap. Here, I will go first:

Sunlight enhances
Winter sleepiness chances
Now, just leave me be.

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun...

  1. If Mom is napping
    she’s sick. Tip toe outside the
    bedroom door and wait.

    No more tests to grade
    No students seek my wisdom
    Retirement: I'll nap.

  3. Shutting my door. But
    I can’t let anyone know
    why. I need a nap.

    We still live in a
    place where napping is taboo.
    But it shouldn’t be.

    I’m much better when
    I’ve had a nap. Why can’t YOU
    make that fact OK?

    Keeping it secret
    breeds shame, discounts benefits
    I bring from napping.

    My nap makes me much
    better at doing the job
    you hired me to do.

  4. Asleep in Class
    Asleep at Church and my desk
    Do they count as naps?

    Lazy lump at noon,
    I couch it.Pillow my head—
    Snooze. The phone cat-calls.

    Not me. I revel in cozy..
    Nap a queen quilted.

    When babe becomes beast—
    A signal of down for nap, parents
    Love -a brief relief.

  10. The nap, great concept,
    Comes easily to many,
    Somniatic bliss

    Mid day siesta
    Eludes, my mind wanders,
    To do list awaits

    Evening news nap is
    almost a certainty every night:
    cuddled by couch, sigh
