A Haiku to Lament Lost Sleep:

3 o'clock A.M.
Crying awakes my slumber
The cat wants in now

The neighbors are rude
The cat yowls to be let in
Yet no one listens

Except our family
Yearning for our precious sleep
It will not shut up

As the night wind blows
And the cat cries like sadness
I am still awake

Water on the brain

Haiku are poems
with syllables on each line:
five, seven, and five.

just as you asked me to send.
And now you have four.

Hussein sent email:
"Please write haiku for my class!"
And so I replied:
-
Oh, you lazy soul!
You're cheating on your homework!
My laugh for today.
-

Teacher, take notice:
Hussein's pulling a fast one.
Don't be taken in!
-
I'm not offended.
I like to write haiku -- but
you might have paid me.
