Hi Everyone,
I got quite the response on yesterdays blog! Last time I checked, I had 17 views! On my way to being a very popular blauthor!
Well, last night while lying in bed, trying to get to sleep, I came up with a Haiku. I was a bit depressed. Still a bit today and I dont really know what to do. Anyways, we will save that for another day.
Back to the Haiku...is it normal to just think of Haikus while just lying in bed?
This Haiku is titled "Wedding Band"
Shiny Metal Ring
Worthless, Meaningless, Empty
Goodbye Forever?
Yeah, like I said its a bit depressing but thats how I felt yesterday!
I also thought of having a Ring Burial Service.
What's a Ring Burial Service you ask? Thats when friends and family get together in a grave yard and bury the wedding ring of the party seeking separation. My theory is in a grave yard, the body is layed to rest, and the soul is freed from the body and ascends to heaven. So, if we bury the wedding ring and lay it to rest, maybe my soul will be set free from this unholy union and ascend me to heaven. Okay, so unholy union is a bit dramatic, but you know how I like the dramatics!
Have a good sleep everyone, and may the Force be with you!
I don't think I've ever thought up a haiku..... ever. Sorry things are a bit depressing. You know where I am if you want to chat. Was nice to see you last week.
ReplyDeleteWow Joe, I'm so sorry about you and Val! No haiku's for me but I'd give yours an A+.
ReplyDeleteNice haiku....sucks that this is the end for you guys. But you deserve to be happy! At least it wasn't a complete loss, I mean you got sweet little Annie! Keep your head up bro!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a great idea! I'd join you, but wedding & engagement ring combined were over $3k, so I think I'll hold on to them for now! lol Just remember - every difficult moment in our lives presents to us an opportunity for tremendous personal growth. Even when life is at its darkest, the universe is opening doors to new and endless possibilities. Stay strong my friend. Have some chocolate too, that always helps. =)
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to share this:
ReplyDeleteA given situation can be viewed as either unbearable or beneficial: it depends how we look at it. We must make certain that things don’t begin to seem unbearable. If we look too closely at problems we will see nothing else and they will appear all out of proportion with reality; that is when they become intolerable. If... we can stand back from them, we will be better able to judge them and they will seem less serious.
