National Poetry Month — Haiku 23

Posted

I just got home from teaching my three-and-a-half hour Thursday night marathon.
And I have a school visit tomorrow.
And I’m in one of my "can’t seem to sleep through the night even though I’m exhausted" phases.
So, nothing witty or thoughtful or philosophical tonight.

Just this:

Haiku 23

old dog and soup bone
picture of satisfaction;
how little one needs

    You know, it doesn’t have to be philosophical to be true. 🙂

    One of the happiest sounds lately for me has been Cassie chomping on a bone.

    How little one needs: no philosophizing. Nothing large or grand.
    Just to be fed and loved.
    And not necessarily in that order.
