Haiku Monday: Beauty


The fountain of youth:
fed by tears that blur my face
in the looking glass.






Last rose of Summer
longs to be plucked with delight
like Spring's first blossom.

      Thanks, Curmy! How could I resist a pic of Madonna?

    Thanks for playing this week. Your haiku is unique and the visual makes me think about beauty in a very different way. :)

    You said it. Grow old gracefully? No. Kicking and screaming.

      Nooooo kidding!! I am glad to be living in this century because you know that 10 years from now the plastic surgery improvements will be revolutionary!

    Fleur:

    This one's hilarious yet deep all at the same time!

    Brilliant!

      Rafa...I don't think I could have asked for a more complimentary comment. I strive for deep and hilarious, but am never 100% satisfied with the results!

    Excellent. I am reminded, back in the days before Photoshop, of seeing separate images of the left side and right side of Richard Nixon's face. On one image he had kind of a happy grin; the other image showed half a face twisted in hate. On the next page, the images were rejoined to show that it was the same photo. Most frightening.

    Fleur, that's clever!!! Now, tell me where I can pick up a portable batch of that yummy stuff! Otherwise, I'll just have a couple glasses of wine and look into the "beer goggle mirror!"

      I know! Wine is especially good for softening one's fine lines...that and the squinting into the mirror!

      Hey, Csar? I am not "wired up" like some of you people with your IPHONES, IPADs and whatnot. I check my email on my computer at home, when I get home, which is usually once a day so that I can avoid that five flight climb. xo F

      Apologies for the misunderstanding, Fleur. I didn't mean that you weren't quick enough with a response. I don't have an iAnything, nor a smart phone, nor do I want any of it. I'm not even particularly happy to be in the presence of someone with a smart phone, which unfortunately is all my immediate family. I was just testing a slightly tweaked Google account. The way I'd originally set up blogger began causing trouble with the new gmail address. Thanks. As you were, breathing heavily after the climb.

      Csar, I am so glad to hear it! No "I"anything, despite all the radiation/electromagnetic fumes/static electricity that is beamed at you by the Csar-clan, you've held out.

      I wouldn't say I've "held out." I have no time for it. I don't even know how to turn on the TV in my house anymore.

    Hello! The theme for the next Haiku Monday (1/30/12) is:

    RAIN.

    I look foward to seeing what your talented mind does with that.

    :-)
