Belonging is the prompt…so many ways to think of measures of membership, ownership, connection, belonging…
aunts and uncles
lean on the railing –
the family wide butt
**
in team colors
10% of the crowd
overwhelms rest
**
same joint ache
for 3 generations –
same farm crows
**
arm tighter
along lover’s waist –
recalling that look
**
12 years of scissors
in the wrong drawer -
same moon, same hill

These are great. I can’t choose a favorite although I’m still laughing at the first, nodding ‘yes’ at the last and the third.

That last one is excellent, love it! i enjoyed the others too.
Mmmm I like these. You always come at things from unexpected angles – like bending down to look under a table, or squinting. I like that. My favourites are the ache one – I like the stories passed down through generations via their bodies (provide they are too serious). Also the scissors one is fantastic – it made me smile so much to think that after 12 years the wrong place still doesnt become the right place.
Oh dear – I haven’t got the hang of this well have I? that last comment was from me Jem.

Belonging
To belong to a lover . . . oh the joy of belonging to even their “look.” Thank you!
I love the crows and sissors ones. Nice!

I LOVE all of your haiku — and I’m still laughing from the first one, which is brilliant! Each one has a wonderful sense of belonging and shared experience. Well done!

12 years of scissors in the wrong drawer is such a rich and evocative phrase. Love it.
