I'm here for the haiku


My brain is a sieve
What day is it? Am I me?
Pass the coffee, please.

Breathe in and breathe out.
Just a toilet paper roll,
Not worth the jail time.

Soft pretzels are art.
Only eat them in Philly. 
Same as cheesesteaks, son.

Shush, loud train talkers.
You are in shared public space, 
not your living room.

Exposed, cold ankles. 
February is not May. 
I should have worn socks.

Great friends are golden
but concealer is crucial.
Girlfriends would agree.

    Happy haikusday
    I welcome its bold return
    Cheers to a good week.

    (Really the first two lines, minus bold, were my original comment and I was like "hmmm, let's stay with the theme" and expanded a bit.)

    Look at you being so creative.
    That would take me months to write :)

    Cold ankles are the
    worst. Socks should be optional.
    Ball's in your court, Spring.

    I'm not going to try to write a haiku but I really could go for a pretzel now.

    I do not expose my ankles until late spring. One warm day does not make capris and bare feet okay.

    Haha I love these! Also, loud talkers are the WORST. I do not need nor want to hear your entire conversation just because we happen to be in the same place at the same time. And, really, why would someone WANT everyone to hear their entire conversation? I just don't get it.

    Concealer is crucial, and I'll have to find a pretzel next time I'm in Philly.

    Well that photo melts my heart! Love the 3 of them snuggled up together and Mae all protective of Bruce boy! Good friends are golden and so is the silence of not overhearing loud commuters' conversations in any public space. Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
