June haiku: graduations and gloom

06.06.11
Old adage rings false
If opposites did attract
He’d be less awesome

06.07.11
Bus moves through Westwood
At incredibly slow pace
I could run faster

06.08.11
Clouds block the sunshine
Others complain ’bout the weather
Not me, love June gloom

06.09.11
Jordan rides around
On his brand new black scooter
Wish I had one too

06.10.11
My one girly splurge
Getting frequent pedicures
Must take care of feet

06.11.11
Family cheers loud
As Vanny, in cap and gown,
Receives diploma

06.12.11
Warned him to stay far
But he still stole some kisses
Now he’s got a cold

June haiku: part 1

The birthday boy

05.30.11
Not so good at catch
Lots of missed balls and close calls
This time, no shiners

05.31.11
Finish run past ten
Doesn’t matter, met our goals
Deserves a high five

06.01.11
Make enchiladas
Use corn tortillas, of course
That’s the only way

06.02.11
Price Is Right taping
Hoped to win a car or cash
Never got a chance

06.03.11
Drove 40 miles east
Just to be there for a friend
Said sorry, gave hugs

06.04.11
Unclear on concept
Kids tap piñata softly
Must wait for candy

06.05.11
Lots of Breaking Bad
On sick day that kept me home
Tummy issues suck

Downtown to High Park and back
My quads will hate me

Steps feel familiar
Where have I seen them before?

Bio professor’s
Lecture on sex differences
Makes frosh laugh a lot

Zvi works out tension
Instant relief, but he warns
Tomorrow, soreness

From an almost one year old
Time to baby proof

Kids jump in bouncy castle
