Drops of rain water soak
Into the sponge like furry boot shoes
Drenched like a wet dog

Purposely tear tiny crumbs of
Banana cakes onto the table for ants
Ants gather it to nest

Filled with compassion to see the spying ants looking for food, my four years six months toddler tore crumbs of banana cakes onto the table. Upon understanding his feelings, I feel so glad and happy. Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Animal ride is where the
Fun of self control begins to run
Amok and kiss bountiful pre-dangers
Cling! Step on gas! Go!
Twist! Turn! Reckless zigzag! Thrilled with laughter.
Ride time ends and repeat!

Bring my son with my husband to a nearby mall. There are animal rides. Our son is napping so we plan to give him a ride. We discuss this during dinner time. Upon waking up, our son is excited to play so he quickly finishes his meal. Therefore, he joyfully receives his reward bountifully. For the first time, he refuses me to sit behind him. So I walk behind following him running amok and almost crash onto shops. Wish you all have good days and thank you.
T-shirt pulls upwards with wrinkles
Scratching all over body without tuck in
Causing wind enters into stomach
Stomach pain due to wind
Dances all over the stomach wall happily
Unless fart to eliminate pain

My dear 45 months toddler was sleeping, but he still could feel itchy and scratch himself. It was a very surprising discovery. Unconsciously, we still feel itchy during sleep even hot and cold. I am still questioning why my toddler feels itchy at night? Wish you all have good days and thank you.
Days to grow a bunch of hair
But it only takes
A day to have a bald head

Thinking if my son’s hair is gone, his round head will look much rounder. This makes me laugh to myself and births out this poetry. This haiku (in progress) has been sitting for more than two weeks. I have been reading and referred to it again in order to connect it well. Wish you all have good days.
I
Vast sparkly waves of ocean
As the sun shines onto the ocean
Vastness of ocean increases more
II
Final beautiful sight in mind
Gradually sink into the bottom ocean seabed
Eyelids close, sealing own fate
III
Blur sight of a swimmer
Before losing consciousness in the ocean depth
Everyone flashes back in memories
IV
Awaking to the soothing music
Among two smiling patients on hospital beds
Hopes re-live in his heart
V
A man dressed in white
Listens to poured out woes and pats
When other patients go outdoor
VI
Encourages her to be strong
Sowing a strength to own beloved friend
In times of tumultuous life
VII
Seeds of love and care
Gradually buds forth in her broken heart
Living filled with hope again

This image had been appearing in my friend’s mind to part III so I expressed it in haiku and continues it.
Being in his dad’s carry
Outstretch his body to hug me closely
We swiftly carefully leaving lift
A cute sweet baby boy
Hugging me wishing warmth from my hug
Reminiscing infanthood in my embrace
His dad holds him strongly
He clings onto my neck grappling strongly
Looking like train track line

Adults tend to express pain
With words but children express pain in
Tears automatically but is effective

Among the empty rolls cubicles
There lies only one full roll cubicle
Seeking relentlessly and found one

Before I bought groceries, I entered into the toilet. None of the cubicles have a tissue roll. Persistently, I looked around and found one roll of tissue. So I was reminded of finding a needle in the haystack.
Cloudy grey sky drizzles gently
The five birds are on a flight
In a search for shelter
Inspiration On: Thursday, 23 May 2013 at 6:40pm to 7:15pm
It was evening for me to go for a little exercise. Drizzling caught me and I was attracted to the flying birds’ chirp in the sky. Therefore, it began with, “birds on a flight”. Upon reaching home, the other surroundings are captured in words.
