haiku retrospective cdxi

The daily haiku exercise, with a twist:

arms akimbo --
a row of dumb bells
under the couch

arms akimbo --
the pan of tomato soup steaming
on the stove

arms akimbo --
a new jazz tune
on the radio

arms akimbo --
cracked glass
in the terrarium

arms akimbo --
booty moves
across the dance floor

arms akimbo --
a glass of water
on the sideboard

arms akimbo --
wet maple leaves
on the driveway

arms akimbo --
the steady ticking
of the bird clock

arms akimbo --
stars wink into view
in the evening sky

arms akimbo --
her newest baby looks at me
like I'm from mars
