Jewish Haiku For Rosh Hashanah

I found this site with Jewish haiku. (Unsure who wrote them.) Here are some highlights:


On Passover we

opened door for Elijah.

Now our cat is gone.


*****

Today I am a man.

Tomorrow I will return

to the seventh grade.

*****

Testing the warm milk

on her wrist, she sighs softly.

But her son is forty.

*****

The same kimono

the top geishas are wearing:

I got it at Loehmann's.


*****

Mom, please! There is no

need to put that dinner roll

in your pocketbook.


*****

Is one Nobel Prize

so much to ask from a child

after all I've done?


*****

A lovely nose ring,

excuse me while I put my

head in the oven.
