Hours drip like water
From leaky bathroom faucet
My patience runs dry

Interesting haiku!
Sep 14, 2011 @ 16:58:35
Thanks! If I can make you stop and think, then I have succeeded 🙂
Sep 14, 2011 @ 17:29:22
Well you always succeed in making me think, and for that I thank you!
Sep 14, 2011 @ 23:28:08
You’re quite welcome! 🙂
Sep 14, 2011 @ 23:54:21
We always do and can’t overcome it at all!!!
Sep 15, 2011 @ 02:11:30
Patience is a wonderful virtue and perhaps the worst one to learn 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 00:18:50
Very witty. Well done.
Sep 15, 2011 @ 02:12:58
Thanks! And thanks for reading so many of my poems 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 01:20:06
Great contrast and very real. Good use of the form I think.
Sep 15, 2011 @ 02:15:27
Thanks, that means a lot! Haiku is such a slippery form–I’ve posted quite a few, but still feel somewhat uncomfortable with it. It is fun to keep trying, though 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 04:51:07
I relate to that very well!! Lovely!!
Sep 15, 2011 @ 09:46:50
Thanks! It’s the little things that can get to me, especially over time 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 05:39:09
Enjoyed it! And you are right about this Haiku thing…it never feels right.
Sep 15, 2011 @ 09:53:36
Thanks! Yeah, it definitely takes time to appreciate the certain cadence that haiku have. I think I’m just now starting to recognize it. It’ll take a long time before I’d consider this a natural form. But it’s always good to stretch ourselves. 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 05:55:00
Nice play, drip / dry. Well done.
Sep 15, 2011 @ 09:56:16
Thanks! I’m not a huge fan of towels 😉
Sep 15, 2011 @ 06:32:17
Oh I love this one!
Sep 15, 2011 @ 10:10:47
Thanks! Can I just add that you’re awesome? Because it’s true 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 08:13:35
Thats cute! Thanks for joining us at PicStory with this lovely yellow duck 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 10:17:24
You’re quite welcome–I realized I hadn’t participated in a while. I don’t have many yellow pictures, but this one at least is unique 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 11:40:36
Great haiku. Made me smile.
Sep 15, 2011 @ 14:37:15
Thanks! Though frowning is better exercise, I much prefer to smile 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 11:46:08
Loved the analogy.
Sep 15, 2011 @ 14:40:00
Thanks–I am a fan of a good analogy, but usually I tend to blow them away. 😉
Sep 15, 2011 @ 13:05:17
Great use of prompt. I would never have thought of it. Nice work.

Thanks! I appreciate poets who think differently than I do–their work is fresh and exciting 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 13:26:51
I know the feeling well; it’s my reaction to a too-quiet day at work. 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 14:43:54
Ah, yes. I could never work a desk job. I see myself as becoming impatient and fidgety and then rolling around the maze of cubicles in my swivel chair yelling at the top of my lungs. In other words: unemployed.
Sep 17, 2011 @ 12:57:27
Lol! If I worked at a cubicle farm, I’d probably feel the same way. Fortunately my job does have a few periods of franctic activity between the dead spells. Also, I can hoop at work. 🙂
Sep 17, 2011 @ 15:37:13
Nice! If I was good at hooping, that would be a wonderful perk 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 15:32:05
Reminds me of a slow day at office 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 19:12:48
So that’s where you write your poetry, eh? 😛
Sep 15, 2011 @ 20:41:43
Surprise ending to this one. Delightful!

Sep 15, 2011 @ 22:20:58
Thanks! Yours had an interesting perspective to it 🙂
Sep 15, 2011 @ 22:17:43
Interesting analogy and contrast ~~
Sep 15, 2011 @ 22:22:23
Thanks! I was pleased with how this one turned out 🙂
Nov 12, 2011 @ 18:18:02
super cute.
🙂
Nov 12, 2011 @ 19:32:27
Next time I’ll use a picture of Hello Kitty 😛
Nov 13, 2011 @ 18:55:47
Fantastic wordplay and one of the best haikus I’ve read. Excellent!
Nov 13, 2011 @ 19:31:46
Thank you so much! Your comment means so much–I know there are quite a few wonderful haiku out there. I’m honored that you consider mine to be in the same league 😀
Nov 16, 2011 @ 20:32:17
I love Haiku’s. i wish I could write them.
Just haven’t been able to master it. You did a fab job.
Very nice,
Isadora

Thanks! I wish I could write short stories. Actually, I wish I had the time to just read short stories. Perhaps over Thanksgiving break? 🙂
Nov 21, 2011 @ 02:29:08
Oh, there is nothing more annoying than a leaky faucet 😀
Nov 21, 2011 @ 02:30:57
Well…except for two leaky faucets 😉
