Publishing my son's haiku a few days ago led to a discussion among the family of my brother's talent for poetry. Following is one of his earliest (and best) works, entitled "Slime Mold":
Slime mold is blue-green.
Slime mold grows on little trees.
Slime mold is my friend.
I think you'll agree that N. is carrying on a proud family tradition.
Why don't you contribute a haiku or other type of poem in the comments? Remember, a haiku consists of 3 lines--5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the 2nd, and 5 in the 3rd.
Here's my effort:
Be honest with them,
Says my wise teenage daughter.
I cannot write poems.
Later Days!

I have always LOVED poetry. I used to write alot of them in high school on my own just to sort out all my thoughts and feelings. I think I still have my notebook. Anyway, here's a couple I've just come up with for your haiku post...
My Family
My family is nuts,
But I love them anyway.
They are a real hoot!!
Snow
Snow is beautiful.
Flakes fall softly on my face.
I LOVE the cold snow!
Love those haikus, cuz! Keep 'em coming!
Mimi's contributions:
M. is 4 years old.
Our "baby" is getting big.
He is our "baby".
We had a party
To celebrate M's birthday.
It was a great time.
Nice work, Mimi. It's easy to tell that you're fond of my red hot chili pepper! lol We DID have a great time visiting the family :).
Now what was the subject of Mimi's haiku? I couldn't tell...
