Haikus

Outside of an assignment once or twice in school, I've never written many haikus. But recently, I decided to attempt this form of creative outlet. Here were the results.

"Training"
What am I doing here?
None of this pertains to me.
What a waste of time.

"Fall"
Fall leaves swimming 'round.
Swirling, wooshing, floating down.
Autumn ecstasy.

"Kitties"
Whiskers brush my cheek.
Cuddly, purring ball of fluff.
Warm, feline snuggles.

"Motherhood"
Pervasive envy.
Aching maternal longing.
Morose pit of pain.

I realize the last poem is rather dark and sad. But it felt healing and cathartic to get the feelings out.

Peace,
Kelley
