son singing in the living room; one day days will seem shorter
This is a warm Haiku.
The phrase: "one day/days will seem short" seems too writerly to me. I'm not sure about the repetition of day/days in such a short form. Every word is precious. On the other hand, maybe that's an effect you were looking for?
But Polona is right: You have a unique and fresh way of looking at things.

A nice sketch, as Shiki called Haiku like these.
I hope all is well. The fires in Australia are very much in the news here. I suspect you might be wishing for some of Polona's winter.
Hi Patrick, I pulled the son singing haiku off the blog as I had second thoughts... It'll go back up when Im happy with it. Might go with my first version (Im starting to suspect that haiku is more about trusting my juices).
Thanks for your best wishes. Here's hoping the fires are out soon.
to me, this is what haiku is about. a u nique way of seeing things, and more than that...
