This week I’ve been all caught up in the Texas Library Convention razz-matazz, so although I’ve written a haiku each day, I haven’t sat down to post them. So, delinquently, here are my Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday haikus:

One million brown bats,
each one hungry for dinner.
It’s not me they want.

The bats have come home to Austin, stacked themselves in the bridge’s girders like eggs in a crate.
We stand watching, at sunset, as they come out en masse to follow the drone of bugs downstream.

Dear Librarians,
Have some books and some chocolate.
It’s what you deserve.

There is something so comforting about being amongst thousands of librarians.
All of them working to put the right book in the right hands every single day.

Parking garage troll —
are you laughing at me now?
I can’t find my car.

It was late at night after a very long day.
That’s my excuse for going to not just the wrong floor, but the wrong garage.
I’ve never done that before…
