It may strike you that, like others do, I haiku too

Three haiku based on the Creation story.


What happened the morning Adam realised a) it wasn't only forestry he was expected to do in his spare time; b) he really should have read the 'Unexpected Arrivals' section of the training manual; c) the conversational style he had developed with the elephants would not suit all situations

He wakes to find Eve
Thinks this is new ground for him
Fumbles for chat-up line



An incident which happened in the days when the creation/evolution debate hadn't quite got started and no one had quite got the hang of it all

Puzzled monkey says:
"You've come too early, Man.
I am still changing."


God demonstrates some of the very first culinary skills with a very exciting set of ingredients

Hand strokes Earth's raw crust
Reunites a crack with milky fingers
Crimps a mountain range

  2. The first two are a hoot, and the third one is actually quite touching. Yes, I'm a sap. I don't care.

  10. Lesley, it made me smile to think of you googling how to do haiku just to write a little comment on my blog post. Actually, I liked your haiku very much!

  11. Kitty, your blog is quite a revelation for an old married woman like me. And, yes, I think we share a similar sense of humour. I laughed at your yoga phone call ...
