Haiku Monday: HUNTER/HUNTED


Bejeweled and aglow,
Athena-felled swain commands
autumn’s inky skies.

* * *

As last week's winner, Uncle is hosting and judging this week. Over at Aunty's. Who left him in charge of her blog while she travels for business. Which, of course, begs the questions: Who will win this free-for-all Battle Hunter, will there be booze and sandwiches, and will Aunty return to fling plates at Uncle's head? Stay tuned . . .

Very nice. Very poetic lingo. Great minds think alike, but not exactly alike.

You and Troll were definitely on the same wavelenght, just singing a different tune! Bravo!

I should've thought about Black Holes preying on galaxies and swallowing stars after stars!

Happy Haiku Monday

Boxer: I definitely think there's a reality television show there. Definitely. And the world needs to see it!

Foam: Thanks, Foam—right now, Orion's high in the southern sky about 2pm; pretty soon, though, it will rise due east at dusk. One of my favorite autumn sights.

Troll: Right-o. Now, if only our brains intersected more than they paralelled, I'd make you a great big ol' gold-starred cake and consider my work in this regard done.

Athena: You really need to be careful where you point that arrow, missy.

Claudine: You French broads are waaaaaaay more trouble than you're worth.

DeepBlue: Ooooo, black holes and gobbled up galaxies. Nice.
