Birth Story Haiku

Jen at Conversion Diary is home with her new baby and she's looking for some birth stories to read.  Here's the catch -- they have to be haiku.  Fun!

I'm totally game, so here are my six trips to L&D in 5-7-5 syllabic format:


Francie:

A week overdue
stalled at 4, epidural.
Three hours pushing, birth!


Fiver:

First induction's good,
'til oxygen with tight cord.
All's well in the end.


Sally:

Induction, part two.
Bum epidural, painful!
Born in six minutes.


Bun:

Induction, part three,
But dates were wrong, too early.
Blue boy, NICU bound.


Mopsy:

Induction the fourth.
No drugs, three pushes later,
Holy Week girl!


Baby:

Induction, no drugs.
Convinced a boy is coming,
Surprise! A lovely girl.

  2. I tried my hand at it and got this:

    "Evan"
    Ten days overdue
    Fast! Two to ten in one hour
    Unexpected boy

    Thanks for the inspiration!
