November Fifth: A Halloweek Haiku

A Halloweek Haiku

Voila: from the deep archives of skyewriter journals, I give you [flourish of oranges, reds, and yellows]:

A Halloweek haiku:

Scattered scraps of thought
For a few moments time falls
Whispering from trees

And it is no wonder I teach for a living instead of writing.

Please feel free to leave your own haiku... (no pun intended).

Happy Samhain one and all.

Aliceson, October 30, 2009 at 9:26 AM: I'd have to look up the rules of haiku... instead I'll just wish you a Happy Halloween! Any plans this year?

The last 2 nights have been too nasty to keep the pumpkins lit on the porch. Now a think blanket of fog covers everything as the wind howls. Very Halloweenish here.

Chilly toes in combat boots
Missing home and you

Got some time to myself today, oh, what to do? Not much here, gonna go buy a barrel plug for my M16 so it doesn't get sand all up in it after I get done cleaning all the sand from yesterday out of it.
Anonymous, October 31, 2009 at 1:14 PM: Happy Hallow's Eve to one and all. Love the picture. Haiku is too damned hard. Makes my head hurt trying to fit the syllables.
themom, November 1, 2009 at 3:34 PM: I used the same pic on Saturday - ahhhh two great minds. (Except I am no Haiku writer :(
themom, November 2, 2009 at 7:08 PM: BTW...I have an award for you over at my place!!
skyewriter, November 2, 2009 at 9:18 PM: Thank you, themom!

I really appreciate most of you who have taken the time to read my posts and leave your comments. While I may not agree with what you say, many good things come from the discussion of issues that are difficult and contentious. You never know when there will be common ground, or, at least a better understanding of who we are and why we believe in things in the way that we do.

A few of you have used the privilege of commenting to indulge in cyberstalking, mobbing, going way off topic, to advertise your blogs, and to rant about not much of anything or to harass (or all of the above). I realize that is a subjective determination, but this is my blog and you are my guest.

Think of yourself as being in my home and how you would act if you were a guest in my home and I will do the same.

Please do not copy my posts in their entirety and give yourself credit for the post elsewhere on the internet. If you do want to use a post from November Fifth, then you should post a portion and link back to the post here. If you don’t, you will run into a copyright problem.

Please do not use comments at this blog solely for the purpose of drawing traffic to your blog or solely to further some agenda whether it relates to the post or not. For example, inserting your URL in a comment that does not relate to the post. Another example would be advocating right to life in a post about Somali pirates. One has nothing to do with the other and if you make posts to further an agenda that is off topic, you may risk having them deleted.
