Weird.

[conuly]

It seems like every day this week, there's been a fire in my neighborhood. I can hear the trucks now.

And yesterday (today, really), I was trying to fall asleep when I heard a really loud plane, flying *low*. It made a damn car alarm go off! I honestly got up to stare out the window for a while, for all the world like a child waiting for Santa instead of somebody scared of the big bad planes.

It's just a weird week, I guess.

Anyway, today's haiku:

Red, shiny, blazing
Burning rubber to the scene
Louder, louder, gone

Haiku. I should've gone with NaLiWriMo....

I think you're too hard on your haiku's. This &, I think it was the last one, are quite evocative.

There's only so much you can do with 17 syllables! And I feel so... so... so much like you're just repeating the format with different words.

Mind, my limericks well and truly suck.

You're describing different moments in time & emotions & things, too. That's what poetry is all about.

Small note, the plural of haiku is haiku. Because Japanese doesn't really do the whole plural thing.

Yeah I know but I'm in pain this morning & forget stuff like that when I am.
At least I'm still capitalising!

I didn't know that. I'm sorry! *hugs* (Sorry in a sorrowful sense, that is)

*hugs* It's ok. I don't know if it was the work yesterday or I hurt my wrist in my sleep(or both). When my spelling & grammar are less precise except for my pet abbreviations and such, that's generally why.

My cousin lives near the airport, so there are always planes flying low around his house. Used to scare the SHIT out of me when I was a kid, I refused to sleep over there.
