Here’s my first attempt at writing haikus. Inspired by my son…
(Monday, 25th Nov)
Sleeping so soundly,
What happens during the day?
Angel to naughty.
******************
(Tuesday, 26th Nov)
Time passes so soon,
Leaves me breathless and panicked.
He’s four already!

Angel to naughty! Brilliant and I can relate. 🙂
Thanks!
So true!

Angel and naughty and back again, my youngest is four, and these are perfect. Cheers, Brenda
Thanks so much, yes you’re right they seem to go back and forth!
I love how personal these haikus are, like a secret only mothers can understand. Lovely depiction of a child (or, at least, that’s how I interpretted it).
Yes you’re right, they’re short but full of meaning. Having fun writing my first ever haikus!
Yes, as a mom, I can relate. They are angel to naughty even at 18. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie!
Oh my, so it doesn’t get better?
