Haiku Hope part 4 – being busy

Welcome back to another Haiku Hope.

This time, part 4, I’ve written a haiku about yesterday, a day that proved to be far busier than was planned. My phone rang maybe 6 or 7 times and emails were pinging constantly.

Unfortunately, our daughter had an accident at school and the resulting stress and message level was high.

She’s fine – a bump to the head while building a pretend horse with her friend caused a high level of concern and messages that all turned out to be unnecessary, but she had a bump and the school has to be careful and thorough.

Unfortunately the effect on our worry, stress level and heart rate couldn’t be undone.

Once she was home after being checked over we were much happier and had a special afternoon of doing things she enjoys (mostly showing off her singing and dancing to Britney Spears).

Here’s the haiku, I hope you enjoy it and I hope that these different, silly, simple creative examples are starting to help you find your own Creative Coping Strategies too!

Haiku Hope – Being Busy

Ring, ping, tweet, ting, groan

Phone sings bad news on repeat

Child fine, we’re in pain
