Carpe Diem

Together they make one

umbilical connection

power of the twins

Power of the twins
Cain and Abel legacy
divided we fall

Fortitude

This week's prompt for Haiku Heights is Fortitude. 

 As I was playing around with the language and ideas surrounding fortitude 

The words "Parent"and "Father" kept popping up. 

So, with that said,  here are this week's Haiku submissions 

From the father of three girls ... 

*******

Expecting

Courage under fire

intestinal fortitude

not for faint of heart 

***

Delivery

Savage princess bride

front row seat to horror show

magic puff of life

***

 Home Alone

Ecstasy and fear

two o'clock feeding surprise

little poop machine

***

Toddle

"Why Daddy why?"

machine gun question attack

fall asleep at eight.

***

School

Band aids and bullies

I'm tough enough to wear pink

sports day keeping score

***
Pre-teen Girl

"OMG Dad please"

"whatever you're so not cool"

tongue ring heart attack

*******

Cacophony

I found a new weekly challenge - Haiku heights. This week's prompts is Cacophony. Here goes my first shot at this one...

Random noise clusters

assault sensibilities

fathers jazz CD

*****

My infant jabbers
endless mumbo jumbo scat
thought I heard "dada"

*****

A loon's lone cry
a coyote's hollow wail
a beaver tail slap

****
Never thought that I
would hear myself say the words
turn that music down

****

Ode to Dr Seuss ...

Ode to the Master... with a twist.

Sunshine forever
is never quite as bright

as a night light
when bed bugs
don't bite
you at night

safe at home
cookie dough
bat her up
Call a cop
soda-pop fly-ball
hip hop on Pop

chipped Tooth Fairy secrets
bruised chinny chin chin
Calm-bat man trau ma
I'll blow your house in.

reta-tat-tat you're a brat
don't do that
can't hear myself drink
kitty Cat in the Hat

snuggle Bugs Bunny
Porky Pig in the poke
Dad fell asleep drinking
Mom started to choke

tippie toe to the kitchen
oven open the door
I smell green eggs and ham
They can't hurt me no more

The Edge of the Woods

At the Edge of the woods -

peering from behind a cedar tree.

a child wrapped in a blanket of wild panic.

afraid to stay and terrified to move.

Paralized with fear.

Discovering the tree house would have been comforting.

if comfort was possible.

Back at the house Mom is ...
