Cleaning is a waste

It's Sensational Haiku Wednesday again! This week's prompt is fleeting. And PAD #9 is (blank) or (blank).

Cleaning is a Waste

My day is so short
I have a big choice to make
Vacuum or laundry

But seriously,

Life is a Series of Choices

My life has flown by
How did I get to this point?
Choosing this or that

Future up to me
Must make the most of what's left
Whether smile or frown

    Cleaning is a waste! The world needs more maids. And plastic dishes.

    I can always think of something better to do with my time than clean, but I like a clean house. I really need to get a maid :). Loved your haiku.

    Wait a second. I wasn't already following you? Well. That's fixed now. :)

    I do enjoy a good haiku. These are awesome!

    I should totally look into that NanoREVmo. That's just what I'm doing right now.

    Cleaning is a waist. Why can't it be like The Jetsons. I want a robot that does everything for me, and loves the family too.

    Great haiku.

    I agree with one of your members who said you should have a poem book published by now. Your creative mind is a blessing.

    Loved all of your poetry today! And I know how the cleaning feels - it's always the last thing I want to do, but it always needs to get done.

    Yes, more maids! My dream is to make enough at writing to hire a cleaning service.

    I love this! Haikus should, in general, be a LOT more like these. LOVED THEM.

    Yep, I hear you - and sometimes I choose "none of the above", and play Candyland with my Wee One instead. The vacuum will still be there later, but childhood is fleeting!

    Nicely done!
