Documenting Every Day In Concise Syllables

Twitter limits you to 140 characters; Facebook limits you to a little more. Haikus limit you to 5-7-5 syllables; but in the end, all that limits you is your mind. Be unlimited. Be creative. Be to the point.

Toddlers Are Entertaining And Inspiring

Today, as all Sundays, I worked in the nursery during church and had our two regulars: Christopher and Johnathan. Johnathan, the adorable little devil, found a Skittle somewhere in the nursery. He grinned the cutest little smile at me and pointed at his mouth. I asked what he had in his mouth and discovered a chewed up Skittle. Having no clue where said Skittle came from, I got a smidge annoyed. Fortunately, I found the Skittle source before he went in for a second forbidden treat. I can rest assured saying he didn't find it in a dusty corner of the floor or anything ickie like that. Also fortunately, he didn't mind when I took the Skittles away -- he just turned in to Godzilla and attacked the train tracks his brother had been setting up, and good times were had by all.

Aggravating pain
regardless of how I sit
coursing through my back.

Little impish smile
he found a hidden Skittle.
Naughty two-year-old!

Keep your eyes peeled; I may go out for ice cream later, and more haikus may or may not come.
