Poems for my Valentines

Lilly, named aptly

for the blossom gold as sun. 

She's magnanimous. 

Fire cracker, full

of compassionate power,

my oldest little boy. 

Strawberry in cheeks

and hair, a gap toothed beauty.

Nickname: Little Red

My little darling,

careful and deliberate.

Sock and car in hand.

Mama Kat's Thursday Writer's Workshop!

Losin' It" src="http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac331/mamakatslosinit/poodle4.jpg">

Today, I picked #3 from MamaKat's workshop prompts. To write a haiku about what I love about my regular day. So I wrote several. 3 lines didn't seem like enough to cover it. And it didn't seem like enough substance for my readers. So here you are. Some of my favorite parts of the day.

p.s. Dear babies- even though you don't read this, I have to say it: I know I'm cranky right now. I know that sometimes it seems like I tolerate you instead of enjoy you. But I wouldn't trade a single stressed out moment for a lifetime of money, ease, fame, or things. I love you. YOU are my favorite part of EVERY day. (OMG. My hormones are out of control. I'm going to bawl my eyes out writing this.)


breakfast table, cool.
giggles, berries, sugar, prayers.
"Mommy?" "Hmm?" "Love you!"



On the road, buckled.
"Want to hear a story mom?
It is about me."

Little fist on door.
"Mommy! I waked up!" cheeks hot
Grin, with nap time gone.

Still breath on pillows,
Footie jammies keep toes warm.
Finally, my time.
