Did you know that your mouth holds more bacteria than there are people in the whole world?
And still, we kiss.
This week's theme is "First Kiss." Post your 5-7-5 haiku here at the comments section (as well as at your blog if you like. But please make sure you post here!) Deadline: Monday, 11:59pm
I will be this week's judge. In addition to winning the most precious
Haiku Monday Golden Badge, you will be awarded a mixed CD of love songs, handpicked from the Fleur's personal collection, which believe me, is extensive and includes such fine artists as
Barry Manilow, Firefall, David Cassidy and The Smiths.
Good luck to you all!
I will start it off:
Gown of dusty rose
bloom of young desire crushed
drama club prom date
Congrats on winning with your fab haiku!
ReplyDeleteAl WAS a hottie. I saw him in a restaurant in Savannah 30 years ago and he was an eyefull.
First kiss? That would have been my mom's boxer!
Enthusiastic
Canine kisser of wee babe
Guardian of love
Oh-oh, you have word verification on! You may not know many of our regular haiku competitors will not comment on blogs with this feature selected.
Thanks, fishy! I have disabled the word verification. Love the haiku!
ReplyDelete1st kiss . . . geez.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've tried to find her on the Intertubes. She must have ditched her maiden name in a serious way. Not that she'd probably have anything to do with me. And not that I'd contact her. Just curious.
Hmm. Internet stalking might be a good Haiku Monday topic.
Well, I can say for certain my first kiss was NOT Al Gore. Great topic. I'll be back . . .
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your win!! have fun hosting. i'll see what i can come up with.
ReplyDeleteUpon a re-read of your haiku, I think I get it. And if I get it correctly, then, yeah: word.
ReplyDeleteI'm up!

Thank you, Moi!
ReplyDeleteMoi...Grand Illusion...very atmospheric! I saw Styx live last summer. They played with Kansas and fake Foreignor. Went because of Foreignor, but came out a Styx fan. They were stunning!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sound like a very good first kiss, but apparently it was memorable - like all first kisses.
ReplyDeleteI'm up at the Buzzkill with memories of the first date with the Mrs.
Thanks for hosting.
Comforting, fragrant
ReplyDeleteYou were always there for me

@ Anon
ReplyDeletePlease go see the visual--all will be made clear.
@ Kym: Yours is just about perfect for a new mom.
ReplyDelete@ Aunty: Tell Uncle I have the same problem. Glad he threw a couple in.
Grrherhahahaaha @ Karl. Very nice aunty. Sweet kymical haiku too. all are good!
ReplyDeleteIs "Karl" one syllables or two?
ReplyDeleteKarl! Karl! Karl!
[Chanting, it sounds better as two]
*one syllable.
ReplyDeletegeez, get an editor in here, willya?
@ Czar: Thank you and I hope I understand your edit, but I haven't slept in 24 hours. so I will leave it at this.
ReplyDeleteOh Sweet thing next to me.
PLEASE, lucky spinning bottle.
Alas her sister.
Karl:
ReplyDeleteI was editing my own mistake. Your first one was right on the money. 5-7-5.
Wonderful! And, it's amazing what macho, banjo-plucking, corncob pipe smoking men will do when it comes to musing about kissing.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow around 9-ish, I will collect all the haiku, bringing them to Les Halles downtown, where my mom, sister, and two aunts will help me assess them over escargots and wine. They have a hard task ahead of them! (And let's just say that my mother didn't show the appreciation for my award-winning haiku on Tipper Gore that you all did!
Fleur, I'm so envious of your escargots and wine. Will look forward to your fine assessment tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Haiku Monday to all!

Fleurdeleo? Yore Mom an' sister an' Aunts? I'se jealous--HUG THEM DEARLY--an woan they have jes' a delicious time wif' yore assignment!
Tipsy judging! The best kind. (Although my jury is still out on escargot.)
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Fleur, and have fun!
@ all: We are going to take a break this week and haiku will return starting Monday the 23rd with the topic: Hobbies. Moi will host, unless Troll steps up. Thank's Moi!
