Poetry
Washer & Dryer
Wash, Spin and Dry Round and round they go Clean clothes. (Just wanted to try something different, so I am going to write some odd haikus for various appliances around the house. Just for fun. I hope you share your thoughts. Line one dealt with function. Line 2 the action and Line 3 the result.)

Teddy bears
Who gives comfort at night or when alone a Teddy Bear do. (Who still has their favorite teddy bear stored away? To be honest I still do for he is packed in a box wrapped safely. He gave me comfort when I had a nightmare, and he was also something to talk to when I couldn't talk to anyone else. Teddy Bear what a great friend.)

Swinging
Back and forth you go higher and higher on living your life. (How would you describe swinging on a swing? I started out as if I was swinging as in line one 'back and forth' moving on to line two and as we get 'higher and higher' in all our various perspectives on how we are living our lives.) Please share your thoughts.

Doughnuts, again
A childhood treat that allows for many good times but tooth decay. (A just for fun haiku about sprinkle doughnuts and maybe even remembering all the various memories that these may bring about. During my childhood I really liked sprinkled doughnuts and milk. I had some good times when friends would come over, but after eating so many one may have to go to the dentist. Haha!)

Libraries
Book upon books Circulation desk info knowledge abounds. (Who doesn't like or even loves going to a library. Line one, of course, all the books that one can and even desire. Line two the place where one learns where to get said desired book. Line three the knowledge that a reader receives from said books that was desired.)

doorways
open and close a way to come and go in and out of here. (Here is another haiku for doorways to our souls and lives. The first line is fine for they do work in this way. That brings us to the second line that seemed that way to go. The third line is what we do when we approach a doorway to here, there, and everywhere.) Comments are truly appreciated.

Sunday Morning
An open window a light from above for peace, love, joy. (Trying to describe a Sunday morning. The first line I originally started with 'A open window' but grammar check in its' way said no. The second line to me is right. The third line a reason for a Sunday morning is okay. Please comment and learning a lot.)

Jams and Jellies
Homemade goodness here abounding love of flavors sweet and sour goodness. (One more for the road that I believe will be having many people canning their own jams and jellies who knows. I believe I am getting better at this form of poetry, so please share your thoughts that are appreciated.)

Another Door
A gray door that says "Open me." What is there here for all to see there? (I believe that I am getting the hang of writing haikus. Also, I think I got the syllable count for the whole haiku as well as each of lines. Please read and comment for it is really appreciated.)

Doors
A garden door opens to a garden of friends that grow up and down. (Here is another haiku about a particular door to a secret garden. I believe that I have the syllable count right for this one. Hope you like this one and please comment after you read this one.)
