Thank you, Grace.  Very nice piece here...

and I simply could not resist my impish muse's proddings:

watered-down news

newsprint to paw print;
banner screaming major leak
now bleeds with puppy’s

our trees sit idly
waiting for spring's warmth to come

Hello Dolly,

Very nice thought. Idle on the outside maybe, but working frantically internally to produce the next generation. More like a pregnant pause LOL.gif

caught in a time warp

Simply lovely.

menopause doesn't give men a pause?  I thought it might!

Super haiku, Grace...

It gives me the perfect occasion to show everyone the difference between true haiku and my 'HeadCase Haiku' or faux-ku

wanton in drink

silly wet  heron
stands kung foo in dark… won ton
spooning a light bit

Heyyyy Everyone ..... these haiku are super!  Here's my latest:

Night Call

Dusk cools, primes for night;
nightfall comes bearing own warmth;
whispers from lovers

Oh Grace,

I LOVE your haiku!!  What a thought ... I could see and feel the breeze ... could gaze at the sky and those daisys, all though your well chosen words.
Wonderful!

My contribution for the day:

I heard you were dead;
knew rumors couldn't be true;
music will ne'er die

Small ballerinas

prima donna cows !
