I just did a dance with a spider that attempted to wriggle out of the paper towel I was using to get him from the inside to the outside of my house. (Of course it was a him!) My dance started to sound a little like a haiku - you know, three lines with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second, and 5 syllables in the third... So I wrote one. Then that haiku felt lonely, so I wrote another one. And a third.
Wait - is that a fourth?
A lonely haiku
Had me write another one
And then another.
Here are the first three:
spiders are scary!
when they try to escape from
a Bounty-full jail
buckets of rain pour
from sky to rusty buckets
so rainbows emerge
just as night begins
a star shimmers to the west
adventure awaits
