Well, folks, it's been a little slow recently, which I hope means that no one is having any problems. But it's a little dull to check in on this forum and see nothing new, so here's my contribution--and my challenge: Diaper-themed haiku.
Many of you know this, but haiki is an unrhymed Japanese verse form usually consisting of three lines and seventeen syllables, typically in a five-seven-five syllable division. Traditionally, haiku evoke an emotion through strong imagery, typically of nature, but as those of you who have weekly haiku contests in the paper or whatever know, you don't have to get too hung up on that when you're just having fun. Enjoy each other's creativity! Multiple contributions welcome . . .
:-)
(and if someone feels led to create a limerick or sonnet, go for it!) |

Dancing line of white
Gleams through shifting aspen leaves
Crisp drying diapers

This is fun! Thanks for starting it. I too have been finding things slow....a good sign for everyone I guess!
Here is a little ditty I just wrote out:
Lovely cotton bum,
No more papery crinkles,
Oh, my healthy girl.
Let's have some more!

Ahem...
Selling sandys dipes
Sunshine bleaches stains so white
PayPal is my friend |

Chicken legs kicking
Dirty diaper on carpet;
When is husband home?
|
|
|
|
Di'per fresh and new
Suddenly covered in stains...
Blueberries again! |
|
|
|
Crayon oh so blue
Bamboo diapers spotted too
Precious little boys!
terrible haiku but interesting weekend...... |

Inspired (using the term loosely) by my son's recent vegetarian mania:
Peach, plum, grape, pea, orange
So healthy but those curst skins
I will see again! |

(Don't worry, I won't quit the day job . . .)
There once was a mother in Wales
Who bought herself two diaper pails.
“Save the planet I must--
Use cloth diapers or bust!”
Now she scoffs at disposable sales.

Naked bum running
He dances in floor puddles
Pitter patter, splash! |

|
|
| I can just picture those dancing feet . . . |

| Wow, is it ever quiet! Is it that no one is having CD'd babies anymore, or that the diapers are so wonderful that no one has problems or questions? I hope it is the latter... But I was used to reading the forum when I needed a break at work (!?!) and I miss it! |

I know, sigh . . .
I'm still waiting for someone to write a diaper sonnet! :-) |

Ok, then, here I go... At least I think it's a sonnet:
Once upon a time, a mother-to-be
Was told of something called cloth diapers
And once she had heard how nice it could be
She closed her ears to all social dampers
She welcomed her son on a summer day
She diapered him in fabric aglow
And from that moment there was just no way
That she would look back to the paper foe
He son was happy, his skin was healthy
The landfill was spared a great deal of pain
And to those who thought it would be messy
She showed their worries had all been in vain
There goes the story of a happy mum
Who found her solace in a bamboo bum |

| Oh la la! I'm going to have to start thinking in iambic pentameter. Hmmmmm. |
