Frost ~~ Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Golf course pictures were taken from our back porch

Monday morning with frost on the golf course. Temps got down to 26, the lowest of the year (2007, this year also) so far.

My Haiku/Senryū

frost on the golf course
means a frost delay for sure
we'll tee off at ten

Saturday morning after a nighttime storm with a couple of inches of rain.

morning after rain
good earth extra bright and green
golf starts at seven

Sunday morning, not a cloud in the sky!

Sunday morning bright
honor sabbath--keep it holy
afternoon golf

One Single Impression: Comb

.
Our girl

Mothers teach
little girls learn how to comb
smoothing the locks
and loosing the snarls

Then then comes day
our girl has learned it well
beauty now reigns
where ever she is seen

Still comes the day
messy dirty looking
the comb is done
for style this girl goes grunge

Whirligig Poem -- Old dogs

Old dogs and old tricks

 

searching my soul today, finding pups of all sorts

impotent hounds trying to make love with their kin

molesting is too good a word for their antics  

nightmares come forth easily for their prey, sic em

cheesy they try to be, dog full of baloney

 

moonlight softens making pale light for hounds in love

Bright enough, it siluettes lightning bugs for jars

Bitches safe but scared bejeebies, their short hair curls

 

sun will shine in the morning, new or tired is all

The naughty dogs will come home to eat and to rest

calm is a word some don't know.  Fed, they'll go again

 

aubades for the ladies, know not old suitors safe

THIS WEEK'S TWELVE WORDS come from "The Ancestors Explain How Envy Grew" by Afaa Michael Weaver: 

searching, impotent, molest, nightmares, cheese, moonlight, jars, curl, sun, dogs, calm, aubades*
