We are in Buffalo, NY getting my mom's broken tooth fixed and have a few days to catch up on blogs and schoolwork so here are the haiku and I am hoping you guys will try your hand at them and send me some back! The dentist my mom went to was a history buff and gave us a list of cool places to go check out including the home where Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in when President McKinley was shot in 1901. Guess every cloud has a silver lining. She's been in a lot of pain and couldn't talk but is doing better now.
IOWA:
Corn Corn Corn and Corn/ Combines Small Towns Corn and Corn/Field of Dreams and Corn
Getting lost in Winterset:
Riding after dark/ Wondering where my mom is/ Ask for a ride home
or Lost in bobcat woods/ Tower wasn't worth the scare/ But friends we met were
BADLANDS:
Fossils in red stone/time laying in the bedrock/ our past revealed
Craters of the moon national monument:
Crevices of rock/desolate but is unique/Apollos trained here
bubble rainbow rocks/are all that the lava left/on eerie moonscape
Covered bridge Festival:
deep fried small town fair/honor the old wood bridges/madison county
Spook Cave:
Ducking hundred feet/ stalactites and stalagmites/ dark cavern secrets
Not gonna Do it/ Too Spooky for me she said/I'll hold your hand mom
rock ceiling so low/ bent over in boats the bats/can see you up close
Niagara Falls:
Lit up like rainbows/water like cotton candy/water carnival
Maid of the mist boat/ drenches us in fall's fury/ the thunder gods roar
Mom Turning 40!
Wake up this morning/ Feels like any other day/but you're 40 now
Canadian Customs:
Detained for an hour/they think we're gun runners/no big bust today
Mom's Tooth
After dinner mint/molar mayhem by tic tac/some birthday present
