Welcome to #CheckIn for Saturday, September 4th
Around the second or third month of the pandemic, when I finally realized that I wasn’t going to find work after being laid off, I decided I would write a haiku every day. It started out well, and went on for a good while, but I gave up after the garden began to take over my life. Now, I’m not really good at writing or poetry, so I had to look up, read about, and read a bunch of haiku before I started, and I’m still not sure that I get it, but I gave it my best. Here’s a couple of examples:
It’s quiet at home
Streets are empty of people
There’s only parked cars
So sorry barber.
Let’s just see how long it gets.
That's it for haircuts!
I talk to Jimmie,
Facetime on the telephone
He says to retire.
What, if anything, did you attempt to begin during the pandemic? Did you accomplish it or any? Or like me, did you become distracted by or wrapped up in some other occupation?
