Haiku part two 

Good as his word, Archer composed several haiku for me today (usually on themes I suggested) while we spent time at my office and at therapy.  Here are his creations: 

***

We'll play temple games.

There are no floors outside here.

We've played temple games.

***

Ants are very strong.

Ants leave crumbs of food in rooms.

Ants carry some food.

***

Therapy's open.

Yesterday therapy's closed.

We'll have a great time.

***

The Two Of Us On Earth*

The silver car drives.

A silver car has four doors.

It is painted great.

***

Jack On Therapy**

Jack is tall.

Jack already likes Twizzlers.

Jack knows all the rules.

The End

* I suggested that Archer make up a title for his haiku about our Honda Civic Hybrid by asking, "What's this poem about?" He replied: "Us on Earth."  "Is that the title?" I asked.  "It's about The Two Of Us On Earth," he answered decisively.

** For this poem, Archer specified a 3-7-5 syllable scheme in advance, wrote it down in his notebook and added the extra-textual notations.
