My first haiku:
Both children napping
time enough to sneak off and read
just a few pages
My second haiku, and the eye candy that inspires it:
Indescribable,
her face lighting up
smiling up at me
Two completely different things that make me happy on a regular basis!
I don't like the double use of "up" in my second one, but it works for the form.
Thanks for reading ;)
Keep sneaking off to read: It's food for the soul.

Nice Haikus, Rachael! I love them but have not figured out yet how to write them. I know the rules, but it never comes out the way I want it to.
ReplyDeleteI love both of them...and love the inspiration behind the second one.
Both are great! I can see why she inspires you. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI love the sneaking off to read ... and the eye candy is precious!! Thanks for sharing. Dig In and Dig Out
ReplyDeleteReading and precious little ones -- recipe for happiness!!
ReplyDeleteNot 5-7-5 for our meme, but very nice just the same. Hope to see you again next week with 5-7-5 haiku!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteJenn-I totally cannot believe I miscounted, like a hundred times--I just recounted the first one, and left a comment saying I'm glad the first one fit the 5-7-5, then after I posted the comment recounted one last time and realized I was one over on that one!!! Sorry!!
