I spend all day traveling to Atlanta on my sister's USAir pass and my mother (who usually has linguini with clam sauce awaiting me) suggestes that I make myself a Screwdriver and a salami sandwich on white bread. This is Oscar Meyer kids' lunch salami--not Eataly, NYC salami. <br /><br />And THIS is what's been happening all day? Really? I need another Screwdriver to blot out the many unpleasant images herein.<br /><br />Before that, let me say that this has been an amazing collection of haiku. My heart pulled toward Rafa's "love me, love me not," but since the first read, Curmudgeon's first entry really had me:<br /><br />Like one half a moth<br /><br />the autumn maple seed falls<br /><br />while spinning the world <br /><br />The visual is spot-on, and "spinning the world" made me think of moths and silkworms spinning silk to make kimonos and caterpillars becoming butterflies and the world spinning around with butterflies in it...the haiku simply spoke to me on all levels. So, congratulations Curmy! Well done. You will be the recipient of Fleur's Haiku Monday Love Songs. (I owe it to at least 3 other winners too! New Year's Resolutions are coming!) <br /><br />Aunty Belle, I'm glad things have smoothed out for you, and I loved the coincidence that your early a.m. reading surfaced! Corey Jo, we missed you, and I missed Chicky, too! Next time, yes?<br /><br />Honored, as always, FLEUR, who supports no word but "dyspeptic" when it comes to unpleasant stomach situations.Fleurdeleohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02302048075544358448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410308123411703717.post-40843416495930071042011-12-20T18:02:39.387-08:002011-12-20T18:02:39.387-08:00I have to admit I am getting an education from Kar...I have to admit I am getting an education from Karl.

They are normally higher elevation fish. You don't have to fish to eat fish, you can fish to let your rod and reel take you for a walk into spectacular country. Especially if you don't care if the fish are big. The smaller the trout, the greater the solitude.<br /><br />SerendipityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410308123411703717.post-59298051371726239682011-12-20T11:30:33.570-08:002011-12-20T11:30:33.570-08:00Good afternoon Fleur,

Most trout are beautifully patterned and colored, particularly so just out of the water. My most favorite is the high-altitude golden trout that has a nearly neon orange stripe running down its golden side. That is set off by an olive back and orange fins. They look like fancy cloisonne jewelry.<br /><br />SerendipityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410308123411703717.post-59227818639849123282011-12-20T04:25:21.220-08:002011-12-20T04:25:21.220-08:00Mercy!

I confess that by the time Aunty escaped the rigors of the day an' half the night, I sank into mah bed. <br /><br />Early this mornin' I'se still soggin' abed--readin' a little of Annie dillard, an laughed out loud when I read this:<br /><br />"Many of us will be among the dead, then. Will we know or care, we who once owned the still bones under the quick ones, who SPIN inside the planet with our heels in the air?"<br /><br />(Annie Dillard: For The Time Being)<br /><br />Thas' all the SPIN I can offer fer now--but whata grand job of hostin' ya done, Pearly Girl!<br />I await yore judgin' with the same anticipation as the faithful who done their assignments.<br /><br />P.S. stick to yore guns on puke. Granny tole us younguns that a vulgar word wuz any what left a disgustin' mental image in the mind. She used to defend her own use of "damn!" by claimin' it din't leave no foul mental imagery that other four letter words left--like C R A P, a word us kids discovered brought a swat to the posterior.Aunty Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868780211706866610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410308123411703717.post-66984900544574276192011-12-20T03:20:42.935-08:002011-12-20T03:20:42.935-08:00@Fishy: Join the club.

Excellent!<br /><br />Fishy: your haiku on childhood are second to none! It's so nice to see that your spot-on takes continue to the present with "WiiFit Fool." Wonderful! Also, Miss Fish, tell me which two you'd like entered and be warned that I am not likely to award the BOGH to any haiku with the word "puke" in it!<br /><br />Roxie: you have a couple of phrases that I particularly like: "maple seeds whirl" and "white wool twines to yarn." I used to love stories where people used a spinning wheel. (I was never sure exactly how this worked, but it seemed like a better task than churning butter.)

Lucky dog!<br /><br />Ms. Moi! You tapped right in to my '80s sensibility--and that mirrorball couture! Fantastic visual, excellent haiku.<br /><br />SerenD: "heart like a reel" is classic. Would you believe that I didn't "get" that you were refering to a fishing reel until I saw the visual? And I never thought I'd say this, but the fish was kind of attractive.
