Haikoodle: n. haiku written by a sleep deprived mother about her wee ones; plural: haikoodles
Wee Willa giggles
silly, spilly Willa girl
messy all the time
Pouting, stomping child
angry because we drove off
glaring at me, sigh
Boy needs a haircut
his hair so long and so thick
I’ve got the clippers
Sleeping in my bed
she snores with her face near mine
stop kicking me, please

Thank you! The haiku were originally filler for NaBloPoMo, but I liked them so much they’ve become my Saturday thing. Cheers!
