Office Doldrums

My very first attempts at haiku - thanks to Crafty Green Poet for helping me get started, and to One Deep Breath which celebrates its first birthday with a free theme this week!



thoughts scatter
in every direction -
fog settles
____________

low pressure clouds
humid air weighs heavily -
office dust swirls

Pearl - it's a great party :)

Tammy - glad you can relate... :P it's starting to come on again - I guess that's why I'm commenting here and not focusing on the task at hand! :/

Sandy - thanks, looking forward to playing again :)

Very nice haiku. I find myself ruminating over it ... it almost lifted my "brain fog." :-D

These are great, they really capture that fuddled office head feel I'm currently experiencing, yet they're also beautiful. I guess that's because you encapsulate the truth of it so well.

Your first is so easy to relate to. Yes, the fog does settle. And I love "office dust swirls." Happy first attempt! A brilliant job.
