My Senryu on "Handful of Stones" blog

http://www.ahandfulofstones.com/2010/02/senryu-times-two-no-beer-for-you.html

It's 3 AM and I'm eating - because there's a baby in my belly and apparently little missy can't wait for 5:30 AM to roll around - and also writing about this senryu I wrote a couple of months ago. A senryu is a haiku about human foibles. As much as I love haikus, which traditionally are nature-themed, I wanted to take this form and apply it to my tendencies to make outrageous threats like, "I'm gonna leave you and go to Mexico."

Enjoy. My tummy is full and I'm going back to bed.
