So many experiences are too subtle for words, and, if you must describe them, it’s best to use as few words as possible. This is certainly the case with being a dad.

Haiku is my favorite form of poetry. I’m terrible at writing traditional haiku, but I’m good with syllables, and can easily count to seventeen:

Don’t Tell Mommy

you and your mother
are often alone; but, son,
we need secrets, too.

I invite other dads to share their Daddyku! Post them here, or send them to me – I’d love to see more.

(And be sure to check out Fergus’ other Daddyku!)
