2009 in haiku

2009 was a big year for me.  Aside from the minor details of finishing my PhD, having my first child, and moving back to California, I started to use my 2 year old Twitter account!  Yes, I know, I'm so unique.  Anyway, when I started tweeting I had the grand idea that I would make all my tweets Haikus.  This didn't last long but I still occasionally try to slip one into the stream.  Inspired by my Twitter inspired poetweetry, I present my year 2009 in Haiku.

January came

with it furious writing

then deliverance

Snowy mountain trip

powdery time of waiting

good news 

Spring offers a test

and with it anxiety

happy its over

The city cooked

in underwear  I coded

while sweating light beer

Clouds return to me

a belly swells with new life

anticipation

Stork flies on cold wind

screams of pain bring fear and joy

intense genesis

Riding on the storm

homecoming is imminent

California

Happy New Year!
