Hump Day Haikus in Fabulous February

So far I'm still on track to do the haiku thing each week! I have been using pictures more often, but I'll get back to drawing soon.

07 Feb 2018: Ocean Sunsets


The winter Olympics are on right now. Yeah, yeah, it's Valentine's Day too, but I'm more interested in the Olympics, so that is my theme for the week. I just got back from Mammoth so that also inspired this week's haiku.

14 Feb 2018: Winter Olympics


21 Feb 2018: Ice Skating penguins

So the Olympics are still going on and these athletes are so inspiring! Did you hear about Ester Ledecka and her gold medals in both skiing and snowboarding?! Winning a gold medal in your non-dominant sport... what a badass! (Sorry for the language kids!) Chloe Kim makes the halfpipe look like nothing. I digress...

A few years ago I did a haiku about snowboarding so I decided to go for ice skating...




28 Feb 2018: Starry Night

Who doesn't love the Starry Night painting? My friend created a 3D version of it out of lab supplies and it was so good. Just so....ooo...ooo. good. So much better than what I drew, but I'm working on it.

write a 100 word story about one moment

Taking more liberties. This isn't technically one moment, but it kinda is...


“Pizza, French Fry, Pizza, French Fry!” I repeated to myself as I picked up speed and slowed down. It was the first time I was on skis.

Kids whizzed by me, “French Frying” it all the way down.

“Damn their low center of gravity!” I grumbled under my breath.

“Come on, NO FEAR!” my boyfriend yelled as he flew by.

He had already bombed passed me five times. I was still on my first run down the bunny slope.

“Screw it!” I thought.

I mustered up all my courage.

“BANZAI!” I yelled, and zoomed down the rest of the run.
