Isn't adventure just like that . . . we think we're after one thing only to discover something completely different! The surprise in adventure is so beautifully captured in your first haiku. I really want to go where your haiku lives.
Ah Juliet...these are wonderful hauku. I like the fact you always give links to broaden one's perspective of your verse. Loved the images these created.
Both wonderful.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the first one. Such a surprise!
ReplyDeleteHumorous and fun.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I think I like the haiku better than the American Sentence - it's even more Spatter-like! Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! Glad you all laughed at the first one, its the kind of thing you can laugh at when you're at a safe distance!
ReplyDeleteGlad - yes, the serendipity of it all...
Janice - i like to include links, because I know that a lot of people won't know what I'm talking about otherwise! I still sometimes forget though.
June - I prefer haiku too! Thanks for visiting!
