Welcome!
This week our Troll, Master of Haiku, will be participating in the Monday competition rather than judging. In honor of Valentine's Day our theme is "TACTILE". The winning haiku should be posted in the comment section below using the 5-7-5 format. Participants are encouraged to also post their entries on their own blogs, along with their visuals. Please leave an "I'm up!" with your haiku so we know you have a visual posted. The winner will receive the 'Badge of Great Honor' and one of these!
A jar or deliciousness from Low Country Produce! Handmade , handpacked, family recipes in a jar.
My favorite is their Sweet Potato Butter; the prize will be a surprise but you can preview the possibilities at www.lowcountryproduce.com.
Haiku Monday: Tactile
There is no warmth in
touching cold unyielding flesh.
Yet, I am sustained.
Wishing all an inspiring holiday weekend XOXOXO
Thanks for hosting and for supplying a wonderful bonus prize.

no hair. He was bald.

Troll,
ReplyDeleteYou doubled your privates!
Blowfish is a feltlover but not a hustler.
Mermaid is questionable.
Clever Que.
Moi,
You and Troll are already making me realize how hard it is to judge!
Skin 2 skin, or skin on skin is all good.
Eggy,
I love the new graphic on your home page. Great color and as always, LOL humor. Write a haiku!
I bet your wonderful humor will shine through.
Belle,
Loved hairless?
Seriously, Mermaid had a "horsey pillow" my mother made for her first birthday. She loved that thing to tatters. Hope you have time to haiku. I think we all enjoy your entries and, being a Southern Belle, you are sure to like the prize.

Red velvet blossoms
ReplyDeletesmell sweet atop spikey stems;
each rose has its thorn
Soft sleek short-haired coat
Purr of love curled up in lap
Comfort of a pet
Solid, wet and cold
Piles of white still line the streets
but the snow will melt
The death of a friend
Sharp pain; unexpected loss
the feel of grief hurts
Happy Valentines Day to all.
ReplyDeleteFoamy,
catching snowflakes on your tongue with a chaser of coffee? Wonderful!
Boxer,
By my count your count is perfect!
Sounds like a wonderful day with your nephew. Did you make shaped cookies? Heart shaped buns????
Pam,
So sorry. It sounds like you lost a friend to swine flu. Tragic. So glad you had the spirit to play our game today. I like all of yours, maybe the third one best.
No, not the swine flu friend. Another one elsewhere. :(
