Over on Twitter (yeah–I finally knuckled under and I'm @FranklinHabit), I posted a lazy haiku:
Hey! I am a cow.
Moo moo moo moo moo moo moo,
Moo moo moo moo moo.
Moo moo moo moo moo moo moo,
Moo moo moo moo moo.
There were requests for more, which makes me fear for the future of our world. But I live to serve, so here you go.
I call this one "Monotony of an Autumn Afternoon."
Knit knit knit purl knit

This one is called "Sudden Awareness."
Knit knit knit knit wait
What? Damn! Rip rip rip rip rip
Rip rip rip rip rip.
What? Damn! Rip rip rip rip rip
Rip rip rip rip rip.
And finally, "Pastoral."
I could do this for hours, but we're supposed to board soon. See you in Manhattan.
Baa baa baa baa. Hey!

These are absolutely brilliant.
The final haiku reminds me of the brilliant animated short - "Boundin'" Have you seen it? "I used to be something, all covered with fluff, and I'd dance in the sun and I'd show off my stuff. Then they dragged me away in a manner quite rough. And they shaved me, and threw me out here in the buff."
"Sudden awareness" feels so familiar... sigh
brilliant!
Thanks for making me Smile. XXX
Love 'em. I haven't succumbed to the lure of Twitter.... yet!

Dolores is drunk.
I think you'll be a shoe-in when the poet laureate spot comes open next.
You are definitely not quite right. Thanks be to God. :)
This is the funniest thing I have read in ages! I needed that - thanks! HUGS (hmmm - my catcha is immess - I think the world is trying to tell me something....)
You're quite the knitter
an artist and writer too
now a poet so true
Love(1000)
Haikus are easy
but sometimes they don't make sense

It's not original, I'm afraid, but cute.
Been following your blog for a bit. First comment here.
Hysterical!
Knitting hiaku, yes!
Sheep to sweater needs many
K2yo
And I couldn't make it to NYC for your classes after all, so I have to make do with this post.
(Cleaning the house and even going to a party aren't going to be as much fun, I fear. Keep tweeting!)
I just did performance art to Sudden Awareness on my lunch break. There were great waving of arms and wails accompanying the chanting of the Franklin Original Haiku(tm). Ive only been working on that shawl for three weeks. Why did I decide to measure it today instead of three weeks ago when I should have done so? Why?
What? Damn! Rip rip rip rip rip rip.
These were great! Totally captured an autumn afternoon and our sudden awareness.. damn..
I'd have thought your work with antique patterns might have produced something like this:
"Victorian Migraine" (by Anon., too)
Antimacassar
Pattern calls for many large
Bobbles. WTF?
Or is it a case of:
Franklin at O'Hare
Orders large margarita
Bigger than bird bath ??
lol! Love these!!! Thank you Franklin!!!
Ha!
Or
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Ha! Ha! Ha! Hee! Hee!
Ever wondering:
How Abby's poncho going?
Or is it a cape?
Your Haiku is a bit like comics without pictures, words have the action.
WoW!
I. Love. Them.
Perhaps a pattern in haiku? Then it can be added to the collection of Too Brief Mystery Patterns from the Past.
Too funny!! Loved them.
hilarious! and that's exactly how i feel about 3x1 rib.
Nothing to do with anything but this morning as I was wasting time in blogland I come across your post http://the-panopticon.blogspot.com/2009/07/much-too-cozy.html
So! Did you ever knit a tea cosy?
I love them, hate snorting my coffee AGAIN however.
Please do a book of them! Please please please!
Bored English teacher:
"Let's all write haiku again!"
(Beats preparing class...)
Sounds like an excellent sequel to "It Itches" to me!
Luckily our world as we know it has no future. More! More!
Quite possibly....no, WITHOUT A DOUBT...the best haiku I've read in decades! (I sense a new addition to your next publication!)
Soooooooooo.....are you ever going to show up the finished pink thing for your niece????????? (she asks politely.......)
Time for me to check out. I have followed the blog from the beginning when there were a lot more posts and worth reading. Thnak you for that it was fun back then, but not so much now.
Hahahaha! You're obviously a genius.
Hahahaha! You're obviously a genius.
Love Sudden Awareness.
Wow! Thank you! I continually wanted to write on my blog something like that. Can I take a portion of your post to my website? Togel Bola Online
You look fantastic, I would never guess you're suffering through 90ºF+ heat.
Here we are at me to examine out. I have followed the weblog from the starting when there were a lot more content and value studying. Thnak you for that it was fun returning then, but not so much now.
