Nighttime Haikus

I have recently been reading the blog of a very intelligent and passionate female PhD student at Harvard. She is very funny and is a terrific writer, making her blog quite addicitve. I have put off plenty of work the past couple of weeks in favor of getting caught up on her thoughts. If you're curious, check out this link, but be warned, she doesn't mince words, can be a little graphic (okay, a lot graphic), and she drops the F-bomb pretty liberally. Anyway, she has inspired me to consider that perhaps "science dorks" can be a bit creative as well as nerdy and annoying. So a few days ago while I was struggling to go back to sleep after a not-so-unpleasant early morning awakening, I thought these up, so here goes nothing!

Nighttime Haikus

Contentment is our
Mira sleeping on my chest.
Rest for her, not me.

In bliss every night
Eric and I sleep with our
arms and legs entwined.

Each night our Chaya
wakes us up with her crying.
So sweet, pet me please!
