Today we start a new Carpe Diem month with the Haiku prompt Otiosity.
Dictionary.com defines Otiose as:
- being at leisure; idle; indolent.
- ineffective or futile.
- superfluous or useless.
I therefore offer you 1, 2, 3 odes to otiosity…
whilst sleeping

on bended knees their prayers

Thank you for visiting my humble haiku. I hope you did not find them otiose.
Smiles, love and laughter

Thanks Maggie, I think it’s my favourite too as it just came to me, but I enjoyed the challenge of writing to the three definitions…not an easy prompt 🙂
