Strange fits of haiku passion
I love my bathtub
And my little rubber duck
Splish, splash, splish, splash, sploosh
My teddy loves me
He hugs me and makes me smile
He is quite fluffy
I hate blueberries
They suck and are very gross
They give me the blues
Peanut butter rocks
It makes me very happy
Om nom nom nom nom
Working out kicks butt
Oh how I enjoy lifting weights
I feel like the Hulk
Here comes my kitty
I feel glee that makes me pee
Purr purr pet pet pet
On no! My toilet!
Quite befuddled, I cry out
Help! Where’s the plunger?
Nothing erks me more
Than chunks of cheese and carrots
Ew. Gross. I will barf.
I lift some sick weights
Adrenaline rushes in
I feel empowered
Aw another cat
Fluffy, happy, fuzzy fur
I pet him with glee
Bunnies, oh bunnies
Balls of white, cotton fluff stuff
How adorable
I hate going pee
In the middle of the night
I just want to sleep
Where is my hot dog?
My stomach groans with hunger
I am very mad
Pitch. Hit. Run. Repeat.
Softball is the game I love.
Stealing, sliding, safe!
Oh fudge. Fudge. Fudge. Fudge.
I want my yummy fudge. Fudge.
How I miss thee. Fudge.
Penguins running by
Make me smile, laugh, and giggle
On the glee in me
Oh curses, a bug
A spider to be exact
I am terrified
Cows and calves alike
Moo in unison and glee
I want to eat them
Screw you alarm clock
Please shut up and let me sleep
Once more I hit snooze
Breathing in fresh air
I walk beneath the sweet stars
Loving life a lot
Why do I feel sad?
Home life, heartache, hopelessness
Life does suck sometimes
Filled with warmth and life
I bask in God’s holy word
Soaking up his truth
Raining, raining hard
Though gloom fills me, I can hope
There is sun ahead
Darkness creeps and crawls
Afraid, I lay still with hurt
Whispering, Why me?
Tears fall down my face
But He catches them with grace
He hugs me tightly
I chose to forgive
I feel relief from this grudge
A burden lifted
Joy brings up laughter
Laughter brings up joyous hope
Joy and laughter join
Wind blows away hurt
But cuts through my heart and soul
A two-faced monster
I feel trapped in chains
Old habits left unbroken
Where is my freedom?
Sorrow makes life suck
Fun turned to funk in one swoop
How will I survive?
I find peace in Christ
Where love, strength, and safety reign
He lasts forever
Nightmares fill my dreams
Constant visions of my past
Horror go away
Good times still live on
Though distance separates us
Our friendship stays strong
Do not take me home
I feel safe right here in bed
Far from hurting home
Floating on the clouds
Higher than a soaring kite
At last I feel free
Happy, happy, hey!
A good day in paradise
Loving life muchly
Climbing up the hills
To new beginnings heck yeah
Change is in the air
Fluffy clouds roll in
Along with the sun and peace
I feel warm and calm
Trees grow and trees die
People grow and people die
Oh crap. All alone.
