Den Haikus
A bent antenna
waves hello from the TV
and welcomes us in.
Grandmother’s doily,
too tired to move, rests on
the arm of the couch.
The lampshade’s askew.
Last night someone’s drinking cap,
it looks hungover.
The carpet’s dark stains
come from spilt chocolate milk
and coffee splashes.
The paneled room holds
many teenage memories
I rarely visit.

Nice haikus! I love about grandmothers doily.
Enjoyed these and they fit well together!
Amazing! All the imperfections, visual detractors and signs observed seem to underscore the conflicted feelings associated with visiting this room, the Den—– It is so well conveyed through your skillfully written haikus. Thank you!
