I’m giving today’s Thankful Thursday post a creative twist, thanks to Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop. 
Here are a few of the things I’m thankful for this week, in Haiku form:
Leaves changing colors
A beautiful sight each year
God’s artwork for us
Playing trains with my son
Didn’t know it’d be so fun
Fall days are too short
Fancy tea party
Time with kids goes way too fast
Sugar, please, Mommy
Blanket, cookies, and
Reading a good book before
The kids wake up – sigh.
Want to give it a try? What are you thankful for this week? Bonus if you can put it in a Haiku! (Come on, get in touch with that inner poet!)
Minivan Mama says
You are a haiku star! I’m thankful for the sunny fall days we get to spend playing at the park.

LOL – I don’t know if I’m a star, but thanks! Sunny days are wonderful for playing at the park… I miss them right now with the past few cold, rainy days we’ve had stuck inside.

I absolutely love all of your Haikus! 31 years is a blessing I hope to one day be able to say we’ve had together in our marriage… Something truly to be thankful for. Glad I inspired someone’s creative side!

Oh yes, got to have the good book and blanket… Now if the kids would only let me read….

I remember when my son was into Thomas the Train. He loved those things. Now he thinks they are baby toys. But he still loves regular trains.
admin says
We are just getting into Thomas… They grow up way too fast, don’t they?

I loved your haikus, so I thought I’d give it a shot! Great post.

You’ve got great haikus, too! Cooler weather is nice… and we were lucky to have a good color change on the leaves this year.
Kristen says
I am thankful for…
The rays of sun shining through the clouds
God’s smile finding a way to those of us on earth
looking for the warmth on our skin and our hearts
