Eve had a Husband Haiku Challenge a few weeks ago that I entered, and it got me hooked on haikus for a while.
I wrote this one for Big Boy:
Big tough Mama’s boy
eats, sleeps, plays, protects with his
puppy energy
And I wrote this one for Poopy Girl:
Big brown love eyes and
soft black coat, happy pink tongue
Love personified
Mr. Routine was making fun of me a little (affectionately, of course) for my new poetic pastime.
The next day I received an email from him with the following lines:
Janie is my wife
She is beautiful and nice
Also smart, loving, caring
I will never find one better
OK, so he didn’t follow the rules of a haiku… but doesn’t he get major points for absolute cuteness!?

Aww…your doggies are adorable. And so are you and your hubby!

You guys are sooo sweet! I love your puppy haikus! Oh, and I love that Mr. Routine sent you an adorable poem as well! So sweet!

My husband’s first (and only) poem to me? “Yes indeedy, you’re my sweety.”

Mr. Routine is cute overload.

MAJOR cuteness points for both Mr. Routine AND the doggies.
Joni – Your husband’s poem cracked me up too.

You guys are the cutest couple! What a great guy!

Your whole FAMILY gets major points for absolute cuteness!! Awww! LOVE!
I *heart* haiku’ing (yeah, I know that’s not a word). I once convinced my boss to respond to an office-wide “Word on the Street” type thing with one simple haiku, because every other department was SOOOO damn wordy we were all bored to tears. She chose mine, and submitted it. Hilarious…
Maybe you can start doing Haiku Monday or something?

YYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYY!
I “heart” haiku’s to and I loved that your husband tried!
That just makes me smile from ear to ear!
I really was thinking of a weekly haiku theme, but I’m not that organized.
You just can’t force creativity you know? It will come when it’s ready.:)
