Haiku in blogland.
Trying to think of my own.
Silly peer pressure.

:o)
My blogfriend, Rinda is great at coming up with clever ideas to get us thinking in common. She recently posted a photo, wrote a haiku to go with it, and challenged her readers to do the same. I instantly loved the idea and vowed to do one myself.
Day after day went by; and each day brought a new haiku on a familiar blog. With each one that I read I thought, "Oh! I need to do my own before I read too many more of these... What if I can't come up with something original?!?!"
eh-hm.

That's when I came up with the haiku at the top of my post. It's sarcastic, I know. I can be that way at times. But I've been counting syllables on my fingers for the past week and it was the first one I wrote that worked!
Alright. Let's be serious. My niece Presley lost her first tooth last weekend - Carrie pulled it for her! So...
Carrie pulled her tooth.The tooth fairy comes tonight.
Presley's new milestone.

Both made me smile,Deb!!
Sarcastic or not - you really are a cutie! Congrats to your niece - she must be so excited!
Okay, I think I've got it! Can't do it but I've got it!! I had to Google haiku--how sad is that? Ouch, shouldn't have owned up to that on a public site!
Love this pic of Pres! And your cute haiku! xo
I'm going to own up here to googling for a syllable counter, but ssh! don't tell everyone lol. I love what you did with it Deb.
It was worth waiting for! Does make you kind of obsessive about counting syllables though doesn't it?!
Love the missing tooth picture - such a big milestone in growing up.
Two great haiku's. Specially like the sarcastic one at the top! It does get to you like that doesn't it lol!
Love the Haiku - I can't do with wobbly teeth and the children at school know this and say 'Miss' and when I look round wobble a hanging out tooth and watch me almost vomit on the spot!
But I do like lovely cute gappy smiles.
Very, very clever Miss Deb! Karen is funny about her wobbly tooth comment - I was a bit the same last Sunday when one came out over here :-)
Love, love, love the one at the top! I know what you mean about peer pressure, and I love the line "haiku in blogland."
Rinda
I think both Haiku's are great! Gotta love that tooth fairy!
Looks like you had a wonderful time at your adorable Grandma's party. I loved the vintage photos of her.
All the pics of little Presley with your Carrie are ADORABLE!!! : )
Have a good week,
Mary Lou
Great haikus, both of them lol! I missed Rinda's challenge due to my holiday but I shall have to have a think about a haiku of my own :-)
