Today we have got ‘calendar’ by TJ for his weekly household haiku challenge prompt word. Mine is hanging up on a kitchen cupboard and as my memory is bad, I try to write down appointments and birthdays and stuff – that is if I can remember them in the first place!
Anyway, here are my takes on it this week:
Measurement of life:
happy days celebrated
Sad days reminisced
***
Anticipation
A Milestone is approaching
The dreaded five-o!
Like both of your Haikus. I also have calendar in my kitchen next to my phone. I simply trust that still more and everybody can take a look. Also I have it in front of my knows all the time. It doesn’t run out of batteries and it doesn’t break when it falls down… haha.

That is the beauty of it. You can cross stuff off, and alter it in seconds and like you say it is right in front of you! 🙂

Yep, exactly!!! So much easier to handle. The tricky thing only is to never forget to sync both calenders.

Love the haiku but surely not the five O! As 40 is supposed to be the new twenty then you are only really 30 or so. Thanks so much for participating young lady. 🙂

I really like this Judy. You said a lot with very few words 🙂 I think I am beginning to like Haiku. Before, it’s brevity used to stump me.

I like haiku too, it does make you choose your words carefully! 🙂

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
