1
Legos vanished now,
Plastic pieces disappeared,
The dog will vomit
2
Money gone like air,
From our battered pocketbooks,
Our net worth shrivels
3
Diapers are like gold
As I drop them in the cart
Grocery bill expands
4
Sharpies are Satan
In the hands of toddler girls
The walls her canvas
5
Teen years loom like clouds,
Ethan’s future rushing in,
Hormones and drama
6
9 year olds are loud
Boisterous shouts and yells and cries
They have one volume
7
TV beckons me,
Shows and pretty people there,
Cable, drug of choice.
8
Alarm clock screaming
Piercing morning’s peaceful sleep,
Why so early, work?

Interrupts my sleep.
Ethan's haiku from 3rd(?) grade:
ReplyDeleteSnowflakes falling down
On the lonely prison bars
The men are angry.
Classic Ethan.
Can't even think of the word haiku and not think of Ethan and the prison bars...
