Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge #43 Source and Thought

image

Time for Ronovan’s Haiku Challenge #43 using Source and Thought.

It
I thought you were it
The source of my happiness
Then you let me down

Child
Here I sit and smile
The source of my thoughts, that’s you
My reason to live

But I Smile Anyway...

Rats!!!

In my garden!!!
Well, a dead one, anyway…
(Sorry, there might be pictures you don’t like here…)

Lil Man saw the photo and thought it looked cute… Dead, but cute…
But the circle of life, as it is, didn’t leave the rat there…

image

Quite a large raven came by, and after stalking for a while, making sure he wasn’t encroaching on anyone else’s territory, had a feast… While we were eating breakfast… Lovely!
Lil Man thought it was like watching the Discovery Channel live!
Gory, I know, but its an education in itself… This is how creatures in the wild survive…

image

And Sonu Singh watched on… He couldn’t see the rat, but watched the bird for ages… Maybe he was thinking, “oooh! If I was outside, I’d have a fun game of chase!”
Then, raven flew away, leaving a pile of entrails and a rat shell…
I couldn’t leave it for the kids to see, so armed with a shovel, I carefully carried the remains to one side, and disposed of them, as best I could…
(Gory pic alert!)

Poor rat, but seriously, what were you doing in my garden??? I sure hope there isn’t a colony of you somewhere nearby!

But I Smile Anyway...

Questions for me to answer

1. What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received?

I think one of the most touching would be that I am a wonderful mother, closely followed by a little child telling me I am her best teacher ever! Children are so important to me, that being a mother, and becoming a teacher, were always going to figure in my life somehow, and getting compliments for both of these things mean the world to me !

2. What motivates you to get out of bed in the morning?

My life motivates me in general! I want to wake up to get my children ready for their day, and I want to rush to work to get ready for the children at school too!

If I have a day off, I am not motivated to get up because I want to spend the time cuddled up with my Hubby Dearest!

3. What fictional character did you most identify with when you were a child?

I loved Alice in Wonderland, and would have loved to have been her…, but not because I identified with her… because of her adventures! I’m not sure I actually identified with any specific character when I was young!
