   Sometimes a haiku reads as very genuine. You feel the moment really happened and has not been forced for effect. This is one of those.

   Alan I might have your keys:

   as I look for my lost key,
   someone else’s keys

   Nice one, Alan!
   And I love the comments...
   a dilemma we can all relate to!

    Thanks for your fun comments! It's great to see a haiku click with people because we know the experience ourselves directly! ;-)
    
    library cafe -
    we swap lost key stories
    as my coffee cools
    
    The lady who runs the café lost her City Council keys that day and I was telling her my stories too. She never found them, and they had security i.d. on them, so maybe one day they will turn up!

    Alan,
    
    Great one. I actually couldn't find my keys today, and thought of your haiku.
    
    heat wave —
    I look for my keys
    in the refrigerator

    alan, i had to sign in on the "lost keys". these days, after many trying moments of "where are those keys", i thought i had the perfect solution; placing them by the door. albeit my thoughts revert to the places i'd absentmindedly placed them previously; those are the places i look first.

    Thanks b.m.!
    
    I still have fond memories of locking myself out of a rental car just outside Malibu. I had to spend most of the day by a Women's Open Prison waiting for a locksmith. It was a sunny day and everyone was really nice. ;-)
