Haiku52:
Our thoughts on food and cooking
In seventeen beats.

Shop the Story

Nilla wafers are
Superior to all snacks
It's a proven fact.

10:30 AM,
Time for lunch. The whole place smelled
Like ripened string cheese.

I used to work at Food52. I'm probably the person who picked all of the cookie dough out of the cookie dough ice cream.

a new "backpacket"
i can't bear to correct her
fleeting language quirks

thumb sucking daughter
it's time to rise and shine, boo
you're growing too fast

Indian summer
In the moment deja vu
When is winter break?

Lucky Charms stashed in
Plastic bag. Thank God for my
Zip-off cargo pants

Back-to-school shopping
Meant new Lisa Frank folders
And scented markers.

I would take the tests
And rewrite all the essays
To do it again.

School started this week?
School started four weeks ago.
Welcome to med school

Remember college?
Feels like many years ago.
We are getting old.

Sarah J. September 5, 2014

That was a sad one.
Here's something to cheer you up:
Power of the pause.

UT years a blur
I feel bad about my neck
The next phase of old

:-)

One room, two Sarahs
Three years we lived together
When can we again??

Sad sad sad sad sad
Sad sad sad sad sad sad sad
New pencils. Happy.

Catherine - I love your poem! That last line made me laugh out loud.
