Aug. 25, 2008 - Haiku fun!

I promise I really did have fun writing this haiku.  I don't know if I have written one since 4th grade but I tookthe challenge offered over at Rocks in My Dryer and wrote my first haiku in decades.

Waiting, Listening

For the first school bell to ring

Oh wait, I don't need a bell!

We are a homeschooling family that believes that true learning happens all the time, not at the sound of a bell. We learn in the rain, under the stars, by gazing up at the belly of a shark and we learn by living our days running after Jesus

The challenge is over tonight but her site is worth visiting and browsing.  Bring a cup of coffee and enjoy her writing.

I'll let you all know if I qualified for the top five finalists.  Then the readers will get to vote for their favorite.   I should get an award just for participating since I created the crazy thing with kids hovering over me and little girls dancing around in front of me vying for my attention! :)

Update: Rocks in my dryer chose 5 other great haikus for her challenge.  One of them appears to be a homeschooler too!  The prizes looked great too. :(
