TJ’s Household Haiku Challenge – Watch

 

This blue and white enameled silver watch sits in a my bookcase.

My heartless wrist watch,

Ticking off my life’s moments,

Like a shopping list.

Welcome to TJ’s Weekly Household Haiku Challenge.

The prompt for this week is “Watch”. It could be your own watch, the dial, numbers, where it came from…anything that inspires you. It is all about playing with ideas. The best haiku are often a quirky look at a mundane object.

Thanks to all those who participated in last week’s challenge…”Bucket”.

I was so impressed that such a prosaic object led to such poetry!

First in, Lady Lee Manila with a bucket of flowers.
