Haiku #9

Spring Break

Packing up my skirts

I'm heading across the sky

The most home I'll know

Going home! Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait!

Haiku #8

New York City

We have a rich past, 

You and I. Love, fear, growth, time. 

Let's start this again. 

An announcement: I will be, once again, spending this summer in New York City. Interning here and here. Barely scratching the surface, I am feeling... excited, nervous, anxious, curious and did I say excited already? To say that I will be writing more about this in the coming months would be the worlds grandest understatement. 

Haiku #7

Solstice

Fire breaths dry me out

Singe me down and bare it all

Living room solstice

Thank you.

Haiku #6

A belated Friday Haiku inspired by this morning's war with coffee. 

You hurt me, but I love you Still

Vanilla Latte

Stomach twists and jittery taps

I'll never give up

Thank you.

Haiku #5

Thanks Giving

Pull it out of me

And tell me to be grateful

I'll blush and wonder

Thank you.

Haiku #4

18 Hours:

Road trip, Oh, Road trip

Hustle our little bustles

Up before the sun

Thank you. 

Haiku #3

Post Election Blues

Hot tea scorched my tongue.

Obama, do you hear that?

This is all your fault. 

Thank you.

Haiku #2

Charlotte

Something changed the air

Freezing, I'm thrilled to the bone

Charlotte, warm our buns!

Thank you. 

Haiku #1

Some of you may know that Haikus are my all time favorite form of poetry and, in my opinion, quite possibly the best form of communication in general.

Today marks the beginning of a new Bushka tradition that I would like to call Friday Haiku Days with Julia where on Fridays, she writes Haikus.* I will, as explained, write a personal narrative Haiku which will also be accompanied by a photo that may or may not have to do with the Haiku du jour.

So, let's begin:

Have you seen the chips?

Nobody eats my cookies

Baked fresh, all alone

Thank you. 

*Willing to negotiate on the name. Get at me if you have any suggestions.
