Love Haiku iv

Haiku is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. It consists of three phrases with 17 phonetic units in a 5, 7, 5 pattern.

love came to millions

 who found mates on match.com

hey, it sounded good

it worked, so why not?

-----------------------------------------------------

This was what I had planned on posting.

Phooey! I don't even know and am past match.com.

I suppose that with all the previous cavalier and I-don't-care-anymore postings on love, there is still a vestige in me that believes in romance, if only as a nostalgic memory. It is what makes love poignant.

Thus, I end the series with these lines that were recently shared by a dear friend.

You shall not forget, for I am past forgetting

I shall come to you again

With the starlight, and the scent of wild champakas,

And the melody of rain.*

What more is there to say?

I concede.

Love remains.

Love Haiku iii

Haiku is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. It consists of three phrases with 17 phonetic units in a 5, 7, 5 pattern. 

all you need is love

but a little chocolate

will not really hurt.

Wanted!

Have you seen this person?

Notorious for being a fish thief

Wanted in all 50 states of the Union

Be wary.

She is careful to hide her identity.

  

She has even been spotted garbed in a fish costume. What? Is that the dead carcass of the fish she stole that she's wearing?

Note: Beside her is her partner-in-crime. Don't be fooled by those dreamy puppy eyes. She is a thief in her own right - of socks, rocks, and Uno cards.

Sometimes though, this wanted person has taken off her Jackie-O sunglasses to reveal her face.

Alas, but only a partial view.

Who can she be?

Where could she be hiding?

There was a rare sighting of her running down a foggy mountain in New Zealand.

Or was that simply an apparition?

A paparazzi photo has revealed that she could really be a hobbit who lives in a hobbit-hole. Geez, what do we really know about this wanted person?

One time, based on a tip, we followed a trail of chocolate Milano cookies that could possibly lead to her hideaway.

Guess where the yummy brown bits led?

To this person with an unusually small head and giant toes! 

What?! Is she related to Big Foot? The pursuit for this fugitive is getting to be more interesting! 

There are rumors, though, that her Dad is this good-looking fella. Odds are against her, though, for if she ever boards his vehicle, she'll easily be spotted in his solar octane Toyota 4Runner. 

Anyway, today, let's try to find and apprehend the thief, not only to enjoy the $1,000 reward but also to get the chance to say, You're in luck, girl!

If you surrender, your prison sentence will be reprieved because  according to government records, it's your birthday today!

Come out and surrender.

Let's celebrate 11 years!

And remember, no more fish robberies, or you'll immediately be thrown in jail and rot like a fish.
