Is this the place for a dad?
I'll see what you think.

There stands my coffee.
The cup is nearly empty.
Why so groggy still?

Mailbox flag is up
Envelope from the dream school
But he's not home yet

All day long, it calls...
could I steam it open
just to take a peek?

The clock ticks... I wait...
Rehearsals and sports practice...
He'll get here... just breathe...

Wait a second here.
Is this "Let's Do the Time Warp
Again?" I'm confused.

Oopsie... Harriet...
Sorry to confuse! I
followed PA dad.

Some haikus I post
are not necessarily
my experience.

Some are general
and only some have to do
with my own geek_son!

(However, that was
exactly what did happen
here last December!)

What is the movie
Your college-ready kid
Has seen lately?

Mine went with friends
To watch the just released
"Transformer" last night.

geek_mom, I thought so.
But given my Friday Brain,
I figured I'd check.

coolweather, S1
saw the midnight IMAX show
and was underwhelmed.

A haiku virgin
I don't know why I waited
Maybe I'll repeat

Parents' haiku thread
is my second-favorite place
here. (Meta-thread rules.)

It's raining again.
I did see the sun today -
the mushrooms twinkled.

HarrietMWelsch,
did somebody switch you to
decaffeinated?

(Decaf coffee is
like non-alcoholic beer --
what on earth's the point?)

As to the movies,
geek_son and a date enjoyed
Angels and Demons.

Wish it would rain here!
We got a teensy drizzle,
only cloud spittle.

Youdon'tsay, welcome!
Stay, and soon you'll find yourself
thinking in sound bites.
