Bookstore departments
Make me laugh, and make me think
Juxtaposition

Heads into grade two
Still calls me Mama, sometimes
How have these years passed?

Fitba, Fitba, Fitba

Baseball is too slow
He needs to move around more
So, fitba it is

Write, publish, read, spread

Small press, social media

Good on you, CP!

Easter Haiku

Empty cups and stuff

Weird brown tabs, mixed up colours

Happy boy smiling!

Pretty eggs, fun time

Waiting, reading, biding time

Easter colours, YAY!

Beautiful Boy

My beautiful boy
My smile, and his daddy's face
His own gorgeous curls!

My beautiful boy

His daddy's face and my smile

Force to reckon with!

Halloween

Milkmaid and wee cow
Dressup box saves the costume
Mama created

Robot bat he shouts

I have no clue what that means

But I still make it

#53

I love Ses'me Street.
I like Grover and Oscar.
But I love Big Bird.

#52

Pregnant knitting friends
Remind me how big I was
Not so long ago

 31 weeks - October 2007

35 weeks - Nov 2007 - still had another 6 WEEKS TO GO!!!

#51

Beautiful season

Beautiful, beautiful boy

His smile fools them all

#50

Billy Connolly

There is magic when
A bucket list item is
Crossed off with a smile

Quivering voice says
"I met Billy Connolly"
His glee is mine, too

#48, #49

Took a peek this morn

Duck and babies have waddled

One poor egg is left

Oh, am I morbid
To want to break it open
See what lies inside?

#47

Mama Duck hides eggs,

She hates wading toddler pool,
She waits for silence.

#46

Stares at the telly,

Bowels as relaxed as jaw,

Oh come, dear poop, come!

#45

Why, I ask, oh why
Do you look like a pirate?
He responds with 'arrr'.

#42, #43, #44

Soon the school year ends
Summer will bring happy days
More time with kids, good!

Why do you dread it?
I ask so many women
See not what they have.

Fall days will come soon
Enjoy their childhood right now
Soon they will be grown

#38, #39, #40 and #41

Try to potty train
Loves to pee in pot, not poo
Oh how I love poo!

Smeared on back and legs
Smelling of horrible shit
Anus red and sore

You'd think that the pain
Would motivate the training
Stubborn like Mama

Books help to keep still
Sesame Street always works
But still impatient

Then Mama sees him
So cute and still and "reading"
Can't help but love him

#37 Ha ha ha

Not often clever
But April Fools are easy
People gullible

OH! Data erased
Need new class lists right away
Silly teachers....HA!

#35 + #36 = LOVE?

I hate Valentine's,

Forced romance, meaningless love,

Cards, choc'late, flowers.

Any other day,

Gifts would be great from my love,

Now? Empty gesture.

#32, #33, #34

Snot freezes in air,
Front steps need more salt on them,
Why do I live here?

Gordon Ramsay rocks,
You tell it, baby, 'fuck ya',
"Clean up your act, cook."

Babe will ambulate,
Stands sometimes, steps soon to come,
You watch out, Mama!
