Haiku Friday: Life vs. E-mail

The messages pile
up in my Inbox. Do I
owe you an e-mail?

If so, I’m sorry.
Life gets in the way at the
worst times, doesn’t it?

Cordy’s tooth, job hunts
and summer chores have taken
over my brain now.

I’ve stopped starring all of the messages I want to reply to in my Gmail inbox, because it was simply too many. I’m spending the next 24 hours playing catch-up, hoping to make a small dent in the flood of correspondence I need to respond to. And then once I’ve tackled part of that mess, I can turn my attention back to everything else taking up my time at the moment. Why must the summer months always be the busiest?

But on the bright side, I’m glad it’s all e-mail and not paper mail. Just think of what a mess that would be.

(And oh! my lame haiku today! Next week will be better!)

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your main blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, please let me know.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! I will delete any links without haiku!

  1. I can so relate as for the past days my site has been a ghost town.

    Wish you a great weekend!

  2. Yep, summer gets mighty crazy around here too. But not so crazy that I couldn’t finally do a Haiku Friday! It’s been a while.

  3. That inbox thing can be a killer – sometimes if you ignore long enough, it all becomes irrelevant and you can delete, delete, delete. 🙂

  4. I sooooo relate to this … keeping up seems harder all the time ;–)
