Ode to My Laundry Hamper
Bushel hamper, wickerwork, hamper basket Far from your days as a case or casket With southern roots Who knew your purpose would out grow the fruits, veggies and grains who used you as just a basket 1897, on your way, Sears and Roebuck answered those who asked what can task-it A beautiful receptacle for the dirty, disheveled work suits Built-in, hidden, or a moveable facet 1966, Sears and Roebucks catelogue moved from a simple ad to a three page packet In all shapes and sizes, often padded with baking soda or litter to hide the level it's contents pollutes To me you are no less important than anyone living in my hamlet A welcomed collector, a teacher who taught my dog, my baby, to pick up socks for a biscuit the fastest The one on my side, in cahoots, keeping things organized in my cleaning pursuits Bushel hamper, wickerwork, hamper basket Far from your days as a case or casket

Twighlight: Breaking Dawn
Okay, I wasn't going to inflict this upon you. But after reading so many other entries into Judey's book review haiku challenge, you've inspired me. Specifically inspired by HandsomelouiThePoet (aka, Lonzo Ward) & his delightful review of the series, this is for my son, always team Jacob, & the way he & his friends would scream with delight every time Jacob ripped off his shirt during a midnight screening. (Yes, I'm looking at you Tiffany. No not you, Tiff, the other Tiffany, the one Keenan knew in high school. They were actually more fun than the movie, & I enjoyed the movie in spite of the fact that it makes my wife just shake her head, lol.)
