Last year, I chickened out and had my mom write the haiku. Not only do I got to her for most of life's challenges, but she is a published poet.
Haiku 2011 (by Mom)
Motherhood begins
No lessons or a manual
Just sheer off the cuff
Continuing with the sheer off the cuff theme, I thought I'd tackle some haiku today.
On Writing
Try to calm my soul
to touch the emotions there
and create story

| My sweet muses |
On Parenting
Every night I swear
I will be a better Mom
the very next day
On Being a Woman
Tears, fear, joy and pain
are only some of the things
I tackle each day
On Blogathon
Discover new blogs
cherish blogs from last year's fun
grow as a writer
That's it. That's all my brain can handle.
Now I'm off to see
what my fellow bloggers did
with the haiku day

Ok, you are much braver than me. I know my head would implode if I tried to comment to everyone's in haiku. LOL
Nice, Tia! The first haiku poem I ever wrote was on a theme day during a previous blogathon . . .
Tia, you did GREAT!! I'm so impressed that you wrote more than one. I'm such a poetry wimp myself. Last year I shared one my daughter's friend wrote -- this year I wrote my own. Oh well, lame is OK too!! ;-D
The "On Parenting" Haiku is one I'm sure a lot of mothers (and dads) can relate to! Very good. :-D
Liberty, I started off braver than I ended. ;-)
Jen, This is my first, since I passed it on to Mom last year.
Kate, Thanks!
Melissa, Thanks! I know it was true of my parenting, especially on "those days".
I need to make some more Haiku rounds today. Should be fun!
All of them are wonderful, Tia. I especially like the one about parenting.
Thanks, Susan.
