2. a poem written in this form.
The other night we went out to eat at Chili's. I confess I'm a people watcher and enjoyed watching a young couple on a date. (I'm guessing a first date by the awkward body language.) I noticed the guy had a shirt with writing on it. So, curious, as we were leaving, I walked slowly enough so that I could read it. It said:
Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator
Chloe and I had a good laugh about that one. Anyways, I didn't want to forget about that funny shirt...and so I post.
I'll also take this opportunity to share some Haiku poems that my little Chloe has written. You see, she's quite the poet (I'm biased, I know). Prepare to be amazed:
Butterfly
by Chloe Childs
She flies through the sky
Oh how beautiful she is
What a sight she is
Rain
by Chloe Childs
Pitter patter rain
Falling from the sky down, down
Oh so beautiful
Mushrooms
by Chloe Childs
Growing on the ground
Spotted, striped and growing slow
Grow mushrooms, grow now
The Beach
by Chloe Childs
It is very fun
Playing in the sun all day
Collecting seashells
And while I'm at it, here's her newest poem for your reading enjoyment. This one's not a Haiku, but totally blogworthy. I think it's really cute.
My White Kitty
by Chloe Childs
My white kitty is soft and cute.
She likes it when I play the flute.
She plays all day and then I say,
"I'll love you, Kitty, always."
And then I tuck her into bed,
"Meow, I love you too!" she said.
Precious, I know. And to think...we don't even have a white kitty or a flute! I love having Chloe for my daughter! (sigh)

That is so funny. Chloe is quite the poet, pretty impressive. She must get it from her mom.
