Bathtub Haiku

















I became enamored with Haiku in 5th grade. I loved the restrictions of the style and I enjoy counting syllables.

I sing when I get in the shower. I always thought no one could hear me because of the cone of silence that a shower curtain ensures. I wrote this one after I came out of the health club shower after exhausting my repertoire of show tunes and Simon and Garfunkel hits.

soft song resonates
chrome shower sprinkles lilting
applause exit left

I wrote this one tonight in the bathtub.

hot toe flinches back
cooling spray sought urgently
soothing tub awaits
