"Don't Worry, Be Happy"


 "Don't Worry, Be Happy"

Chinese new year 2010...year of the tiger...grrrr
 Learning about the far east has been far out. We've been to China, Japan, and India recently and it has been enlightening, as the Buddah would say. Our groovy karma enabled us to produce a plethora of haiku's a.k.a. Japanese poetry consisting of 17 syllables usually in a 5-7-5 pattern.



Monkeys in the tree
Tail swinging, acrobatics
Eating fleas, noisy.

by Brandt




The summer, the Heat
How I miss you, I so wish,
I wish you would come

by Aubree




I've some pearls I wear all day,
But if they're not clean
They'll all wear away.

by Raina



 

Quiet shape-shifter
Magic gentle ghost---rain born
Peace...drift upon day.

by Laura


 

Namaste, Ahisma, and Peace-Out.

Haikus can be quite addicting can't they?! Those were some very clever ones.
In the spirit of Chinese New Year, I hope you paid the kids well (in their pretty lai see envelopes) I'm sure that would bring in lots of good luck for the year:)
