My other two: boys.
S1 could wear his dad's tux -
if he were shorter.

Best to reserve one
Before the stock is down to
nightmares of our youth.

I don't think S1
fancies himself Travolta,
or wants blue ruffles!

Oh, good idea --
another thing on the list
to do this weekend!

I can't imagine
geek_son in a tuxedo,
but he's got the date.

Nice figure he'll cut,
since this term the coach offered
a weight-lifting class.

feelings of self-worth!

Ditto coolweather's
words about sonnet; I like
this short, easy fun.

But please, musica,
post some rules for all of us
to think about it.

My verse is a wreck
back to the octomom thread
End of day malais


My sonnet's a ruse
My talent's not up to snuff
forget about it

moms fret not at their haiku's narrow bonds
. . .
um . . . looks like twelve more lines like this to go!

And then that summarizing couplet turning back
Oh heck I've seriously lost the knack.

-----------


Kid thinks that's funny.
English major parents, ha!
Haiku, I can do.

Harriet, no thanks!
Too long and complex for me,
Rhythmic lines and rhyme.

Maybe this weekend --
if the kitchen's finally clean --
then I'll try sonnet.

But tell your kiddo
that laughing at his elders
is not too polite.
