My Life, in 17 Syllables or Less

          I wanted to do something a little different for my narrative.  I've been feeling somewhat poetic lately, putting more of my thoughts into writing.  I have formulated some haikus about my current stance on life.  My haikus are relevant to my own life, yet they are still vague enough for most people to relate to.
          Why haikus?
          Well I've always been a pretty good writer.  Hell, I'm one of a few people who can actually apply my knowledge of the differences between all the its, it's and there, their, they're and thens and thans.  (IMO, if you CAN'T, then you don't belong in college.)  Anyway... I've always been a pretty good writer.  I enjoy creative writing and have an urge to delve deeper into this art.  Haikus are just one form of creative writing.  I appreciate the simplicity and the potential for haikus to contain so much depth in just a few words.  If I continue writing haikus, my goal would be to implant my personality into my words.  But, for now, I am exploring narrative the only way I know how.  But I have to start somewhere!

Five, seven, then five

Syllables has a haiku

If you didn't know

Life, made into art
So simple a strategy
Yet hard to achieve

My heart has blossomed

You fill me with happiness

Two lives now complete

Father Time please halt

Let me breathe for one minute

Before I am crushed

Carrot, donkey, huh?

Why not a horse and apple?

Horses pull carts too

Wham, bam, thank you Pam!

I'm going to miss Michael

The Office is dead

I am so grateful

For my sensitive mother

Happy Mother's Day

Twenty-one, Vegas!

What a typical setting

It's gonna be rad

Conjunctions, cheating?

Someone, please enlighten me

I'm still new at this

          It would be very impressive for someone to encompass their entire life into a single haiku.  If this feat is possible, then I would love the opportunity to learn how.  But, for now, I am content with the ones I have created.
