Weekend Haiku

thankful for soldiers
who gave their life so I could
enjoy my freedom

slept sixteen hours
up awhile, then slept twelve more
being sick: no fun

weekend of reading
Neverwhere and then re-read
two Little House books

Andy is obsessed
with Bell’s Oberon, it’s like
his Wire of beer

lawn mower wheel broke
we go through mowers like I
go through Diet Coke

sprinkler fun with kids
“watch out, Mom” they giggled as
we ran through the spray

snapped a few photos
then put camera down to play
sometimes just live life
