Haiku 2018-2019

I found an old note that contained a project to write a haiku every day. My project started in December 2018 and ended promptly in January 2019. The themes included work, baking, and difficulty finding nice fabric.

Meal prepped our lunch
Ginger lemon tea downtown
Cookies and treadmill

Dutch baby, no pouf
Crispy, sweet, and delightful
Topped with bananas

Force push to staging
Bump. Install. Serve. Click. Approve.
Pull request review.

Manometry shows
Incomplete bolus clearance
Rheumatic perhaps

New year and work day
I open a new window
And another tab

A mountain of clothes
I ask, "does it bring me joy"
An empty closet

A tiny mess here
And there. I tidy up, but
Another mess there

Parallelogram
I tried to cut from fabric
I cut a rhombus

Whip to peaks just so
Fold until ribbons; Beware
Wrinkly, flat, chewy

Garish and floral
Whimsical and outdated
I want good fabric

Oatmeal with french toast
Sipping a piping hot chai
Body so warm, flushed

Typing and trying
Searching and guessing, please work.
Jekyll was simpler

A filling once filled
Is filled again; my smile crooked
My teeth sensitive

Eight avocados
will become guacamole
thanks to bananas

My nail tears too soon
impatient, slow connection
fighting time and flesh

Two library cards
Two tacos and a brisket
One party; big smiles

Listen to a call
and microwave soup for lunch
as I pump breast milk
