Computer Blues Haikus

Haiku FridaySuspended in air
for one glittering moment.
Laptop breaks its neck.

Borrowed computer
feels awkward, uncomfortable:
a stranger's stiff shoes.

Phone calls and questions,
agonizing, sleepless nights.
Fix it or move on?

A new computer
purrs quietly on my lap.
I can write again!

Be patient with me.
I have some set up to do.
Back daily next week.

  3. Caught my breath on your
    1st line … gradually relaxed
    as I read your ‘ku ...

    Happy ending, yes?
    Take your time and set it up
    just the way you like ;--)

    Hugs and blessings,

    Right clicked the bookmark.
    Mama's Room, I'm coming.
    Said a little prayer:

    Let there be haiku.
    I miss my virtual friend.
    She needs a laptop.

    Voila! She is HERE!
    Haiku-ing is On, Baby!
    Yippy Skippy Joy!

    Today is complete.
    Now hoping set-up is quick.
    Guess I missed you, huh?
