Year-End Guest-haiku-ers at the Haikulodeon

 

Instead of my usual weekly heap of haikus, I thought I'd let this week be mostly a look back at the past year's haikus written by other dagbloggers in their comments to my postings.  At the very end, I'll include a few of my own from the past year.

Browsing the haikus

a sudden glint of laughter

comes as a surprise.

IT'S COLD WAY DOWN THERE, I MEAN IT'S CRAZY COLD WAY DOWN THERE

 

PEACE

 

If its peace you find in dyin...

And when dyin time is near...

And when I die

And when I'm gone

There'll be one child born

An old jelly bean
found in my jacket pocket
still tastes pretty good.

The message I'm glad I didn't have to send

(My best friend, and fellow haiku-writer, David found this.  The parents of a young boy in a wheelchair created a unique Halloween costume for him.)

A very special Halloween outfit ...

There's hope for the world
When parents use their love with

Friday on Vacation with the Haikulodeon

 

Here's this week's heap of haikus:

(I'm on vacation this week, so there are a few "best of" haikus thrown in to round out the heap ... so to speak.

 

Skies with quiet clouds,
the boardwalk sparsely peopled,
old folks lost in thought.

Mechanized milk maids,

are a sure sign of progress,

to all but the cows.

Sloppy Joe's (Original Recipe)

 

I have a neighbor who is on disability, actually I have lots of neighbors on assistance, came dragging a large box of bread and sandwich rolls over to my trailer. I am in the habit of taking leftovers to neighbors that I think will eat them instead of seeing the leftovers languish in my refrigerator to be tossed out. This neighbor is on a gluten free diet and last month our local grocery decided to get rid of gluten free baking mixes. The markdown was extremely low. Baking mixes for gluten free breads and cakes are very expensive. I did a quick inventory in my mind as to what I had at home in the freezer so I could figure out how much of the bargains I could get for her.
