Obviously, experiencing brain-fartitis tonight.
If you are reading this after 10 pm Wednesday, then
you are too late to enter Sparrow's Haiku Contest
for this week, at least.
The chosen topic is ...LIGHT...
My entries:
awake from dreams, my
fear is soothed as full moon beams
pierce midnight shadow.
and,
Blonde is light. Light is
good. Therefore, blonde is good, right?
Nothing more needs said.
Apologies to all for my tardiness. However,
tomorrow you should all remember to go
back to All Atwitter so you can vote for your
favorite haiku. ok? Please?

the Doctor's Limerick Contest...
William the Coroner has a limerick contest
alternating with the weeks of Sparrow's haiku
contest. This week is his turn.
He is accepting entries through Friday of this
week and he is also awarding a prize of a care
package to one of our soldiers serving in harm's way.
Go here and let him be dazzled by Jean's people.

Invisible wounds...
Elizabeth's sister
isn't the same anymore.
Her husband went to war.
He came back whole
but aching inside.
He sits in shadow
and cries.
"There's no one left." says he.
"I'm still here." says she.
"I can hear their pain."
"Your son wants to play."
"This isn't what he should see."
"We want you at home. Please,
don't leave us alone."
"I'll be back when I can."
The door closed.

Haiku of You...
Sparrow is back from Switzerland and is
reorganizing her weekly haiku contest.
'Cept now, it's every other week, alternating
with William the Coroner and his limerick contest.
Her topic for this week is YOU.
That's right. Make a haiku about yourself.
Wonder if mine should be with or without meds?
hmmm...
My entries:
You (me)...
I am creating
my own niche in life since I
don't fit what I see.
***********************
The things that make me,
me, are possibly the same
things that you can't stand.
************************
I am one of you,
of us, of them, striving for
my identity.
UPDATE: Please go visit Sparrow's again and
vote for your favorite haiku before 10 pm tonight.
