I feel the need to express myself through poetry today. They always say that whether you’re writing prose or poetry, you should use your own experiences as your guide. So here goes.
I ran out of milk
I had to run to the store
Need milk for coffee
I bought six items
Or maybe it was seven
I don’t remember
Then I came back home
I brewed a pot of coffee
And added some milk
Madame Weebles,
SSG will claim this one. But I was here first.

I’m calling you as my witness in case she tries to plagiarize.
Did not know you were also a master of haiku. I think we should begin a haiku contest. I’ve got some really bad ones stored away….. Love yours.
.
YES YES YES, a haiku contest! Yes. Consider it done.
OH I’m in!
Bravo Madame! You could win something made of foil.
xo
Foil prizes are so pretty. I think we need to enlist Kathy V’s help for this contest.
Brava!
Grazie, amica mia!
Your Haiku makes me want to weep. It’s beautiful.
It’s subject matter that really speaks to me. I’m glad you found meaning and beauty in it.
Inspired by your
wry infused mundane haiku
I choose tea instead.
Bravo!! BRAVO!!!!
This is lovely! If I had known of your plight we could have planned a barter — I went to the store after work to buy coffee but I had plenty of milk.
One day we’ll have a coffee/cake party. We must.
broccoli for lunch
you can pull my finger now
avoid gassy nap
[i'm teh sexy, eh?]
AAHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAA! Brilliant!
I usually bring home everything except the milk.
That sometimes happens to me too, Carl. But that’s for another haiku.
You’re very brave to open up your soul like this for the rest of us. Stay strong, FNO. Stay strong.
I realized that I have to challenge myself. I need to do things things that scare me. I need to prove to myself that I can get through them. Thank you, calahan, for your support. It’s people like you who give me strength.
Love it!
Thanks Z&G!
Pleasure’s mine!

this was quality reading… comments and all. Haiku contest, cake and coffee? and now foil prizes? Funny stuff here at Madame Weebles
Is bullshit allowed?
Are you kidding, unfettered? Bullshit is not only allowed, it’s heartily encouraged. Bring it on.
well alright!
Also I’ve been meaning to comment on your avatar photo. That’s my favorite Hopper painting.
ahh fate that our paths crossed
I love Hopper
Me too!
Last night at blues jam
Drank icy Kokanee beer
Hot sexy music
Only four hours sleep
Gritty eyes barely open
Tea and toast breakfast
Cross-eyed squint at screen
Hoping for inspiration
Thanks Madame Weebles!
Good one, Diane!! But only tea and toast for breakfast??
I added you
On my Blog Roll
Not Poetry
But
Truth
Addie, you are very kind
I’ll add yours too, if you don’t mind
Lactose intolerant
Drink Brit Breakfast tea only
Black no milk ever
Can’t go much further since
Writing on borrowed
PC MacBook died on vac
Breakfast tea’s a lovely drink
Sorry your laptop’s on the blink
Pretty sure I’m out, too.
Coke me!
Coke is a good substitute for the caffeine content, but for me there’s just something about the whole coffee experience that I just gotta have.
Story of my life. I can never get just one thing at the store and I can never drink coffee plain!
Right? I don’t think I’ve ever purchased just one item in the store. It seems like bad manners somehow.

Angry Birds is way too fun
Charger is Needed
One of my cousins posted the first line, on Facebook, about a year ago. I commented with the other two lines and told her what a great Haiku she made.
>>Applause<< That one speaks to me, Brother Jon.
