Seven Haiku’s for One

Awaking in the morning
Me, myself and I
No one here to say good-bye

What an awesome day!
Yet I feel so sad
My home is an empty pad

Time for tea, kettle goes on
Only one teabag
Kettle sings a lonely song

I flipped my first pancake
I wanted to share
But sadly, no one was there

My favourite song played
It was time to dance
Just me and an empty space

Putting on a DVD
Buttered popcorn
One person on the settee

Now it’s time to go to sleep
Holding Jesus close
Tears streaming down my cheeks

You protrayed it so simply the desire for sharing and company. But I did detect that latest word that seems to be being hijacked http://www.abctales.com/story/rhiannonw/awesome !! Rhiannon

Thanks Rhiannonw…, no worries, I can completely understand that you are unsure on my definition of AWESOME… it quite simply means that my God, my Father, my Best Friend has blessed me in some way with His Awe-inspiring Wonderfully Energising Spirit Of Magnificent Exquisiteness :) Hence Jesus being right there in the last haiku. I hope that clears it up for you :) … for further insight on this: http://www.abctales.com/story/shannan/eish-london-25-26-september May God bless you awesomely ;-) Thanks again, Shannan

Thanks, Shannon. As you'll see I've enjoyed reading the diary, and commented. My concern has been for the word being overused, and losing its wonder content. Rhiannon

I think the unconscious effect of using it is more powerful than we know... if people hear the seed enough, it may start to grow ;-)
