A Bug-Eyed Lament, in Haiku
Toddler will not nap
Five month baby on the move?!
Oh my goddess, help.
The toddler did eventually nap, otherwise I wouldn’t be writing and posting this today.
For more motherhood haikus, visit Haiku of the Day, the site of Kari Anne Roy, author of Haiku Mama. The friend who gave me the book noted, and I agree, that it’s funnier now that I have more than one kid. I’m not sure why; perhaps because illusion and romance have worn off, and a sense of humor has become one of the best survival tools.
