How do you Haiku?

Share a haiku about your day!

A moment of peace,

That's all that I'm asking for,

Please go to bed now.

Stressed out about work, but at least today I had breakfast for dinner

There's something really relaxing about this one. I love it.

Two trips to the store—
Because I forgot TP—
Under a warm sun.

Car brought to the shop,

dented, scratched, needing repair.

Aren't we all, sometimes?

I wrote a haiku
In the dada style, but it's
A little creepy

...

This is a true story. I compose dadaist poetry (I use a method similar to Burroughs' cut-up method, so phrases rather than single words, usually) and sometimes I do haikus. I composed a random haiku for this prompt but it came out much darker than I anticipated, so I wrote the above one the old fashioned way, and I'll share that instead.

I'm not familiar with dadaist writing. I can't speak for others but I'd like to hear your haiku.

Aren't the birds lovely,

Atop the sycamore tree

Singing their hearts out?

Definitely one of my better mornings :)

Take my kids to school,

Make food in a factory

Pizzas and pasta.

Work going so slow,

Who knows how long it will last,

Weekend here I come.

My fingerprints lost

In the dishwashers water

My phone stays locked.

I laughed out loud at this one. Nice.

Chickadees dee-dee

Engines demand attention

Today I am quiet
