I Did It! – Monday ~ Haikus

Posted on by

When I saw the picture of Sharkbytes last Friday, it got me thinking about her many posts on life outdoors and her recent hike. And that put me in the mood to write a haiku, which is something I’ve been wanting to do for a couple of weeks.

Sharkbytes hits the trail.
She left her footprints,
Crossing the be-love-ed land,
Born to live outdoors.

And soon I was thinking of the winner of Secondary Roads’ contest, Blogosphere’s Got Talent I — Lin. She writes about life in Chicago. She frequently refers to her neighborhood as Weirdsville. That triggered a mind warp. Or was it my warped mind? Can’t say. Perhaps it doesn’t matter.

Lin shows her contest-winning dance style.

Talented lady,
Wife of one, mother of two,
Exiled in Weirdsville.

I’m thankful to have friends like these and friends like you. Now I’ll have to write more for you about other blogger buds. No promise on when you might expect delivery.

  1. Chuck! I LOVE it. I'm just checking my favs between the conf and hike. Stopped in to say hi. Hold the mid-Michigan fort. I really like the post about the house plans from Sears and the pic of the actual house. When I get home, I'll read in detail. Happy August.

  2. I guess I should look up the actual meaning of a haiku, but for now, i'm just enjoying yours!

    Thank you E. My friends are special folks, aren't they?

    Lin,
    Indeed. I thrive on weird. I hope it brightened your day.

    Eli,
    You words are most kind. I do enjoy writing poetry — especially haikus.

  6. Although I always visit your blog, I linger a little more this time to tell you that I enjoyed reading your haiku poems. So different, cool, and nice, which set it apart from your other posts. This is not to say that your other posts are not nice, but your haikus show that you have the gift of words and poetic talent, which make it nicer.

  7. You are too funny, Chuck!! And talented in a weird sorta way. 🙂 Thanks for the laugh this morning!!
