Aheila took a short break, and now she's back! Yay! The Drabble Day word this week is - glow. I added my haikus to compliment the story, from Jenn's Sensational Haiku Wednesday.
“Hey, Jess.”
I jump. “Oh! Hi, Kennedy.”
“You dropped your pencil.”
“Thanks.”
“Is something wrong?”

| I'm way overdue Pray this can't be happening. I'm too young for this. |
“Okay. See you later then. Good luck.”
When she’s gone, I dash into the bathroom and check out my face. Am I glowing? I look down and feel my stomach. Am I showing?
I don’t want to think about it and it’s all I think about. I need to act normal. Acting normal is the hardest thing to do. What’s normal?
Meanwhile, there exists the opposite.
I dedicate these to my anticipatory cousin. Praying for blue =)
Waiting for result
After endless hormone shots
Joy or drawing board
Longest ten minutes
I cover my eyes and peek
Tell me, is it blue?
Very creative how you added your haikus to your story. Love it! Thanks for dropping by my nook. I appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI like your story, subtle and yet, in our face. great job!
ReplyDeleteI loved how the emotion came through in this piece. Well done :) Also you are great at haikus!
ReplyDeleteHey TTT - hope you're well and recovered from your blogoversary party !
ReplyDeleteGreat drabble ... the maternal glow is difficult to conceal ...
I remember many a time waiting for the blue! Yes...perfect anticipatory haiku!
ReplyDeleteVery very crative
ReplyDeleteI really like it! Good job.
ReplyDeleteNice drabble, Tara! You captured the emotional roller coaster really well. Loved the haikus, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your great comment on mine btw.
Ooh yeah, both can be emotionally tough places to be. And you of course portray them both beautifully via drabble & haiku. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the "Praying for Blue" haiku! (that sounds cool when I put it that way.) Can't decide if it's sad or funny or both. Definitely hormone shots aren't funny. I love your haiku's tho.
ReplyDeleteLove the Haiku - I can really feel the emotion behind it! :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, these were lovely! Hope your cousin gets blue, too.
ReplyDeleteHope it went blue. :) The haiku should help.
ReplyDeleteLiked the little scene, too. Lots of angst.
Hoping your cousin saw blue - and the girl in the story didn't
