"With the certitude of a true believer, Vellya Paapen had assured the twins that there was no such thing in the world as a black cat. He said that there were only black, cat-shaped holes in the universe."
-- Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

Haiku Wednesday - So I Married a Geek





My husband loves to play computer games—it’s his thing.  But based on the amount of moaning, groaning, and screaming I hear coming from his office most nights, I’m convinced that he’s not very good at them.  Since this Saturday concludes the month of August, this will be my last Haiku Wednesday post.  I hope you enjoyed your 68 syllables of poetry.




He dies a thousand
deaths when we’re apart—damn those
gaming marathons.

Haiku Wednesday - Buzzing



After a couple of pointlessly restless nights, I finally got a good night’s sleep.  It does wonders for the soul.  I wish everyone a happy Wednesday and a restful evening.




lulled by locust buzz,
doze to cricket chirp, dream in
cicada rhythms

Haiku Wednesday-- Illumination



Welcome to the next HAIKU WEDNESDAY!

The Serendipitree
I wrote this poem on July 24th , from the loft of the “Serendipitree” at the Out ‘N About Treesort in Cave Junction, Oregon.  I highly recommend this place.  It’s like vacationing in the Ewok village.        Check out their website



turned the light back on
to see if the moth was gone—
counterproductive

Haiku Wednesday-- This is marriage.





Greetings, my thousands and thousands of blog fans!  I hope you are doing well today.  In the interest of posting more frequently and less wordily, I am excited to announce that for the month of August, every Wednesday will be Haiku Wednesday here at The Black Cat Diaries.  (The crowd goes wild!)  Feel free to comment, critique, or question in haiku form.  And since I have already vastly exceeded my syllable allocation, let's get to it.






I dreamed you did the 
dishes—woke to a sink full
of disappointment
