Welcome to another Haiku Hope. This time, for a mix of fun and genuine frustration, I thought I’d put together a Haiku about my experiences when trying to access support for my acute agoraphobia. I realise this is a phobia that people experience in different ways and at different levels. Whether you are afraid ofContinue reading “Haiku Hope Part 12 – The Agoraphobic Conumdrum”

Welcome to another Haiku Hope! Today I’ve written a 5, 7, 5 about the subject on everyones lips that’s a great and expensive distraction that (frankly) doesn’t really matter. But we need it, don’t we? Halloween of course! This is the first year in my 41 years on the planet where we are celebrating, it’sContinue reading “Haiku Hope Part 11 – Halloween”

Welcome to another Haiku Hope! This time I’m writing about my blue heeler pup pal, the only cartoon I can watch without scratching my eyeballs – Bluey. This was just a bit of fun following a conversation I had with our daughter, and I thought it would make a good post for here. ********** OzContinue reading “Haiku Hope part 10 – Oz”

Welcome to another Haiku Hope! I had yet another negative interaction this week. This time it was a representative of one of the largest companies on planet earth – Amazon – who made me feel pretty awful. A delivery I’d paid for didn’t arrive despite receiving notifications that I’d signed for it. This was aContinue reading “Haiku Hope part 9 – Rude”

I’m not sure if my daughter returning to school this week is welcome or unwelcome news. There’s no question I’ll miss her. The constant laughing, questions about random stuff (she’s next to me asking about marshmallows right now at 8.30 am on Sunday!) and requests to play and craft together – she’s kept my brainContinue reading “Haiku Hope Part 8 – School”

Well, you must’ve known I’d create a Haiku about this weather. Even though I’m indoors it’s affecting a huge portion of my life…not least my sleep. I struggle to doze off in a cloud of close humidity, then wake up at 3am and need my dressing gown because I’m cold. You can’t win. It’s 8amContinue reading “Haiku Hope part 6 – Sweat”

Welcome back to Haiku Hope. For part 5 I wanted to write a short (hopefully humerous) Haiku about my bad eating habits. I recently wrote a blog post about habitual behaviour that I use daily that might seem weird to the outside world, but to me is completely normal (necessary, actually). So this Haiku cameContinue reading “Haiku Hope Part 5 – The weight of a biscuit”

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 levelContinue reading “Haiku Hope part 4 – being busy”

Close. I hate it when people use this word to describe the temperature, and my partner has been wittering it for days. Are you finding it dull and hot? Those pointless summer days when you sweat but don’t even see the sunshine are pointless aren’t they? So my latest Haiku Hope is dedicated to myContinue reading “Haiku hope part 3 – The Fan”
