Comfort Reads discussion

Christine and I are going to write a Haiku for my profile picture. His name is Hunny. Anyone want to join us? Haiku is 3 un-rhymed lines, 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and then 5 syllables. Any topic is welcome, especially food!

My first attempt (for Christine):


Dixie Diva Dog
Fierce heart in a small body
Strangers tread with fear

Cupcakes for breakfast
Run an extra mile today
Cupcakes before bed

For Lee and Lisa:

Comfort Reads feeds soul
Cupcakes make nice diversion
Share love with new friends

Thanks, Hayes!

They're all great! Jeannette, What a wonderful idea!

Thank you my dear Hayes
It is comforting to know
Friends await me here

*blush*

:-)

Thank you, Lisa! Half the credit belongs to my partner in crime Christine! I hope she'll be contributing later today. :)

Thanks also, Christine!

Wow, what a fabulous idea! I just woke up but I will contribute a few once my brain cells come online!

I love it!

New friends old friends books
gathered here all in one place
Who could ask for more

I love that! Can I put it on her blog???

I'm going to add some, I just have to do math with my kid first, haha! The cupcake guy needs one from me.

Yes, please do! I was inspired by your message on the Companion Animal thread about her terrorizing the neighborhood on her walks.

Sir Hunny Cupcake
Tormenting readers daily
Haunts my yummy dreams

Hunny Cupcake Man
Come closer for protection
Foolish but yummy

Dearest Friend Jeannette
So sadly a wolverine
flawed judgement kind heart

Oh, Christine, these are most excellent! I'm going to share these with my daughter.

Lea says "Awesome!!"

So great everyone... love 'em all!!

Okay Jeannette, you have an official spot on Dixie's gadgets. Hope it's okay that we named you. :)

What a neat, and sweet, idea! I'm not feeling especially creative this morning but love all the posts :-)

My mother always said: "You can call me anything you want, as long as you don't call me late for supper!" I can't wait to see it!

Hey, wait, this one posted while I was typing and I missed it!! Oooh, ooh, I gotta get inspired!

That profile pic is fabbo! I've been rather literal with my haiku


Treats drift slowly past...
They cannot capture my heart:
I has a cupcake!

Great, Darkpool! Thanks for adding a haiku for my little cupcake dude; it fits perfectly!

You have to check out Hayes' limerick on the "Just to Chat" thread, too.

Cupcake dude, so cute
Sitting on your pedestal
Dreaming dreams of sweets

Well, when you keep the picture small, it looks like a pedestal. Then I enlarged it, and see that it's legs... oh well! : )

My daughter and I agree that it does look like he's on a pedastal! :)

Thanks for your contribution, Paula!

Chocolate cupcake dude
Visit Christine and bring cheer
Don't forget frosting

Cake dude, do you see
Saturday evening haiku
My love must be true

Keep the creepy books
I would rather eat cupcakes
red cherry on top

Yay! the cupcake haiku thread is revived!

You sweet talking pup
You make my heart pitter-pat
All my cakes for you

The game is so close
Yet you send me cupcake love
A real true blue friend

Creepy books erased
Climb out from under the bed
Ready for bad dreams

Little diva dog
Picking the wrong night to poop
Mommy gets her mop

Hahahahahahaha! Good one!

Tiny chocolate cake
Must stay away from Christine
Diet has begun

Innocent bugs hide
Science project is to blame
A guilty aunt hunts

Oh unhappy day
Science ants have run away
No more cake in sight

Bees, Grubs, Dragonfly
Grasshoppers and even flies
Fear the book lady

Jeannette wrote: "Oh unhappy day

Too cute!
Signed-the murderess

Sweet face evil eyes
Hunting down those little guys
Who will help the bugs

Is it bad form to rhyme in haiku?

Hmmm....I dunno. I did it too.

See, I successfully distracted you from the "evil eyes" part of my haiku! bwahhahaha

Hey!

Be careful or you'll end up in my frig.

In the fridge in bag
Marked with do not eat or squish
Let me out I'm cold
