Our normal writing times seem to have us missing each other. But ML hasn't got me running out doing chores yet, so I'm thumb typing on the pad sitting on the balcony.
Jane has an iPad. She finally got a little keyboard for it. I don’t find it easy to use, even with a keyboard.
Very, very hard to use. I am trying to write my poetry reviews for last week's competition on it, and have given up in frustration. Now it is time to go and be busy!
She murmured how vineshang from each rotting rafter
in raked evening light’s
sharp watercolors;
of a faint, unheard laughter
on still, moon-drenched nights.
moon wet as a tonguehow can you bear such cold sky
share my leaking roof
the trail ends gravelyhardened men weep quiet tears
- pale bodies so small
Ryan!! It's nice to see you here again :)
Very nice and evocative haiku Jim, Belly and Ryan.

Hi there, Leslie and Belly. Thanks-I've missed this ship lots but have been busy with this whole daddy-business. I keep meaning to drop in...but 2 little boys have very different plans for my time ;)
Yes, kids are good at steering plans..either you 'beat' them or join them :)
Ryan! I was just getting ready to drop you a pm to see if you were surviving fatherhood. Welcome back! And such a beautiful poem!
Guy! Thanks. PM anytime. Surviving and thriving, thank you. Just limited time for me. I miss the pirates :)
Long blonde hair that hungfrom the bear’s mouth brought carbines
spewing fire and smoke.
hair flowing like firesplinter and wound trace night's fur
what sound to endure

@Leslie and M; RotFL! Excellent. Jim, beautiful!Now I need to work. Will visit later.
Rumple hung a Closedsign out front--his quest, the mane
of Emily Blunt.
Lol! I miss Emily Blunt :)
Streaks of yellow lit
Rumple's eyes. Filled with greed, he
planned to marry Blunt.
Good morning from here :)

Hello, Leslie. Hello, M.Emily Stiltskin-
spinning Prada into gold
trapped in a Grimm tale
Thank you, Leslie - plenty of motivation from the wonderful poems preceding :)
Ah, the infamous Blunt returns again. XD

she knows where knives liethough blunt and wrapped in cobwebs

Lol, no need to apologize Jim :) It reminded me of Guy's haiku about a Bobbitt wannabe.
LOL! You remember that one? LOL!To be remembered by a de-membering? LOL!

Lol! You wrote a popcorn after that, how can I forget? :)

I don't know? But I had completely forgotten about it.
Congratulations, M and Jim! Wonderful poems, both of them!

Thank you! I just found out. Congratulations, Jim!

Keep charging ahead, Jim! I’ll bring up the rear.
That’s beautiful, Ryan. I’m tempted to try to follow that one.
