You are the undisputed queen of romantic and wistful haiku. I was smitten with Karl's - all of them - for the obvious reasons. Another stellar write-up; ive grown to look forward to them as much as I do the contest itself.

I was still evaluating the shoes when a very bored man, sitting on a bench, waiting for his wife spoke up and said, <br />"Are you a married lady?"<br />" Me? Yes, I am".<br />" Well then, if you will take advice from a stranger I offer you this; don't go home without those shoes". For some unfathomable reason, Blowfish acts a fool every time I wear them.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-1108127490365228572012-12-01T08:24:36.018-08:002012-12-01T08:24:36.018-08:00Aunty: I drank so much of that ding dang apple tea...<b>Aunty</b>: I drank so much of that ding dang apple tea, I was in and out of bathrooms for 7 days.

Buy a sarong and a pair shoes, you can run in. The former is as sexy as you can get and the latter, let's you get away if it didn't work out. I know we will butt heads on this, but there's nothing sexy about women's shoes. If they aren't practical. You want to be sexy. Take the shoes off. IMHO.<br /><br />@ Fleur: Congratulations on your win! " but have been talked into wearing lingerie that makes me look like an exasperated Renaissance fair employee." As long as it achieves the desired effect. why not?<br />Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233754448811631284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4782769961461736606.post-37740657408194600082012-11-30T13:26:59.372-08:002012-11-30T13:26:59.372-08:00Whoo hoo Fleur!!

Or the lampshade. My point being: why not save money for shoes? Also, I once spent 7 days at a Turkish seaside resort just outside Istanbul, its grounds planted with every imaginable fragrant flower and shrub and tree. That part of the world is indeed intoxicating. Luckily, I was married at the time.<br /><br /><b>Serendipity</b>: Bummer! And, dangerous. I hope the maker makes good.<br /><br /><b>von LX</b>: There's something Freudian lurking there, but I'm darned if I can figure it out just now.<br /><br /><b>Czar</b>: Your second one was very good. And your writer's block is understandable, given your life lately.<br /><br /><b>Fishy</b>: I am easily, and quite literally, led around by my nose. One of my favorite scent combos is orange/citrus, sea salt, sweat, and skin. Several perfumes on the market manage to duplicate this mixture to great effect: Serge Lutens Fleurs de Oranger, Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess, Hermes Eau des Merveilles, to name a few.

He has always used loaners from his dad. But the downer was the bolt handle fell off the bolt on a BRAND NEW GUN before he could even fire the first shot.

This one was from the heart.<br /><br />Why do women let men talk them into robbing liquor stores, emptying their bank accounts and making home-made porn vignettes on their cell cams? I'll tell you why: that second line in my haiku. It's science. (DISCLAIMER: I have never participated in ANY of the above, but have been talked into wearing lingerie that makes me look like an exasperated Renaissance fair employee.)<br /><br />So, thanks to my Turk for the inspiration (he really did get married but we have long been out of touch).
