I saw this story today on Facebook when I was scrolling through my newsfeed and it inspired today‘s haiku.

Doodlebug the baby kangaroo
holding on to his teddy bear for comfort
because he lost his mama

I‘m nearly 2 months behind on #readlesmis — spent a rainy afternoon at the bookstore yesterday with my sister, and she bought me this gorgeous copy of the book. Should definitely motivate me to get caught up this week!!

From my sister with
love, I WILL finish this
chunkster — wish me luck!

KadaGul Family gatherings are always a great source of joy! No matter our backgrounds or cultures, we all have those family members who can be encouraging, a little annoying, chatty, or even full of compassion and understanding. It's what makes our time together so special! 1h

Perfect Iced Coffee: 40 Recipes for Making Great Iced Coffee at Home | Nancy Silverman

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Today‘s haiku is inspired by the iced coffee my sister makes in the afternoons which rivals any coffee bar & is enjoyed outside on her lanai with the wind chimes & birds in the background. Her home is such a respite for me.

Iced coffee, made by
My sister, savored outside
As birds sing nearby

dabbe @Eggbeater It's funny you should say that. Her “official“ name is Kate (as in Princess Kate in England), and her real sister (our black GS) is named Pippa just like Princess Kate's real sister. Though we call her a Pip because she is an adorable rapscallion. They both are. 🖤🐾🐾🖤 6h

lil1inblue This one is so fun! I love all the L's! 😍 6h

Eggbeater I referred to a dog I lost this spring as "Your Majesty" often. Rose was my diva dog, so I love it! As in, "Does Your Magesty wish to go out now, or does she require a written invitation?" 5h

TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking | Chris Anderson

I saw this on Facebook a while ago and gave the first answer 😎 but I could do one or the other.

Ten-minute TED talk
About hot men of Middle
Earth … or tartan noir

I could possibly also do one about TNR but I might get too emotional.

CBee I have no idea what I‘d talk about, but I‘m all in for a hot men of Middle Earth TED talk 👏🏻 12h

Jari-chan I think I would start talking about books in general or maybe about Warhammer 40K. Then I would totally get lost and forget what I was talking about and maybe ending up talking angrily about something queerfeminist, then getting angry at the world as it is and then getting removed from the scene 😅 12h

dabbe @CBee @Susanita If it includes Aragorn, I'll happily listen and drool! 🤤 9h

dabbe What a fun haiku! 🖤🐝🩶 Being the English teacher nerd that I am, I'd probably start rambling about grammar and why it matters, making all kinds of grammatical mistakes as I spoke! 😂 9h

AnnCrystal Middle Earth men or Tartan Noir...Sign me up for either of those speeches!

After freaking out...I'd likely focus on the arts. Share the three main responsibilities of being an artist/storyteller, the power of color, the impact of inspiration through notable history...of course, that's if I can find my voice 😂.

👏🏼🐝👍🏼🎤🐝💝. 9h

JenlovesJT47 I could definitely give a Ted Talk about Old Hollywood. Or cats and why they are the best!! 😻😻😻 cool haiku 😎 9h

JenlovesJT47 I‘m also down for anything involving hot men, especially in kilts! 😏 9h

Susanita @dabbe @AnnCrystal @CBee @JenlovesJT47 How about hot men of Middle Earth…in kilts? 9h

JenlovesJT47 Hot men of first, middle, and last earth!! (Or whatever the proper terminology is) 😅😅😅 bring it on! 9h

JenlovesJT47 P.S. And kilts are a must! 9h

dabbe @Susanita #hubbahubba! 😍 8h

CBee @dabbe yes please ♥️ 8h

CBee @Susanita yes please 😂😂 8h

ShelleyBooksie Men of middle earth in kilts - yes please! 7h

lil1inblue 😂😂😂Tartan noir. Totally on board with hot men of middle earth in kilts. 😍 My impromptu ted talk would have to be on the Golden Girls. A long ways from kilts in middle earth. 😅 6h

Haiku: Asian Arts and Crafts for Creative Kids | Patricia Donegan

My peeps, this one is inspired by finally starting therapy again and realizing, again, that I have “porous boundaries.” That is, no boundaries. I have a lot of work to do 😅🤪🫣🤦‍♀️ #haikuaday #orwhenever #haikuhive #lazybee

My favorite playlist. 🖤🐾🖤 Please excuse my carpet! We're getting rid of it in August! #becausedogs 😅

Pip's rumbling snores––
steady rhythms that softly
hum in my heart's core.

Birds | Kevin Henkes

This haiku is about what I saw in my backyard today. The blue jay flew off when I opened the door and I saw a lizard in the grass panting like he was scared to death. He was fighting for his life trying to keep from getting eaten. Poor baby. This picture of the Blue Jay is from Google.

Blue jay fighting with a lizard
The fight ended with the lizard panting in the grass
The lizard won the fight because he didn‘t get eaten
