Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments My friend Susie wrote haiku about me once... something about dead baby oranges (and about me eating them).


Write your heart out (because now you have a place to do it)!

Stephen (stephenT) Dead baby orange
Heidi will eat you soon now
Fall is falling here


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Afternoon sleepies
hurt my productivity.
Rescue me, caffeine!

Edina dancing dinosaurs
were here once, now gone, us next
the land before time


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Early walk through town,
fog swirling around my feet.
Morning in autumn.

Edina "Early walk through town,
fog swirling around my feet.
Morning in autumn."


oh! that is a good one. it actually has to do with nature like haikus are supposed to.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Thanks, Edina! :)

Stephen (stephenT) The tornado now
Gives your Cherry Tree to sky
Spring is a bitch slap

Leslie | 777 comments Plants wilt, heat shimmers
Sun beats earth like mad mother
Go inside, rest, hide.

Leslie | 777 comments Lobsters have lodestones
Will know true north everytime
What will lobsters find?


Abigail (42stitches) | 150 comments Everyday the same
thick wet blanket covers me.
This is the Delta.


message 13: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 777 comments Sounds like we're both familiar with humidity, Abigail--gets old doesn't it?


message 14: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 777 comments I go to Borders
To write and read and relax
My favorite place


Abigail (42stitches) | 150 comments It certainly does. I have only lived here ten months and I am so ready to get out. At least now we are in a house with central air, so the humidity gets regulated a little better. But, still, ick.

Scent of burning meat
enters my dreams. Roommate cooks
steak. Now I'm hungry.


message 16: by Stephen (new)

Stephen (stephenT) Today was wedding
One niece, one child, one husband
She five foot, he seven.


message 17: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 777 comments Where do you live Abigail? I live in the Tampa Bay Area. I've lived here since 1983, so I can't say I'm not used to the heat and humidity, but I also can't say I like it.

Stephen--a two foot difference?? Wow! My ex was one foot taller than me and that seemed like a lot!


message 18: by Stephen (new)

Stephen (stephenT) Hehehe, to do the cake feeding/smearing, she had to stand on the hearth of the fireplace. It was hysterical. She's pushy, duh, related to me ok?, and her husband is a calm, kindhearted, go with the flow kinda guy.



Abigail (42stitches) | 150 comments Ahh, I see. I used to live in Ohio which generally has quite a bit of humidity. Anywhere from nothing in the winter to about 60 percent on a bad day. Now I'm in Mississippi and 60 percent is a GOOD day. It's generally around 80 percent, which is disgusting. Even in the winter it's always above 30 percent. Cold and humid is a weird feeling...

Oh! Nose starts bleeding
I stuck a tissue in there.
Went north last winter.

These are getting weird...

Hi Heidi Heidi "


HAHAHA! Hi Richard. :)

How are ya, friend?




message 29: by Richard (new)

Richard | 347 comments I'm very well, Heidi. Have trimmed my postage to spend as much time writing as possible. Received a grant from the Dutch Foundation for Literature to write my second novel and am halfway into the Dutch version, after which I'll get cracking on the English. Hope to have them both finished before the end of the year. Hence my absence on the threads.

But rest assured that I'll drop in occasionally for a cup of terminal coffee and a haicookie.

Wishing you (all) well!

This is all wonderful news. It's good to know! Keep us updated, please sir?




message 36: by Richard (new)

Richard | 347 comments Will do, Heidi, sure
One less comma there would spell
less civil intent...


message 37: by Heidi (new)

Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments Nice, Richard. Nice.


message 38: by Stephen (new)

Stephen (stephenT) Richard with comma
prevents less civil intent
