Haiku Monday: Triumph of Nature

Damn unwanted seed!

Aloft upon wind and wing.

Graces no man’s land.

For more natural triumphs, head on over to hostess Fishy's Place and play!

Haiku Monday: Speed

Decayed dinosaur

ooze fuels dying desire.

Where’s my flying car?

Serendipity is this week's Haiku Monday hostess. Take a spin by her place and see who's playing this go round. And maybe even take a shot at one of your own.

Please, Don't Let's Bathwater the Baby

Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money

Yup, looks like we're off to a cracking 2013. Alarmists who want to regulate inanimate objects, a bloated tax and spend congress, and a Fourth Estate that is not just asleep at the wheel when it comes to holding an incompetent government's feet to the fire--it's comatose. Yee-haw!

Begin Again

Happy New Year, Party People! Wishing you all health, happiness, peace, and prosperity . . . Um . . . Wishing you health and happiness!

Happy, Happy and Merry, Merry!

See ya'll in the New Year!

Haiku Monday Winner: Resolution

Howdy, folks.

Unfortunately, this round up and winner announcement is going to have to be short and sweet. Internet's been out most of the day and I've got a bunch of stuff to catch up on. Thanks to all who resolved to play—and did!

Here are my top three out of the bunch:

Chickory, with:

The whiskey river
flows from New Years eve into
Lake Reformation

No kidding, right? This reminds me of one of my favorite songs.

Czar's pitch-perfect mix of humor and despair:

Making and breaking
Daily. Veneer together;
Insides collapsing.

Which reminds me of another favorite song.

And, finally, Grumpy Granny's

The Way beckons on,
Sore foot blocks pilgrim’s resolve.
One day, I’ll return.

Which also happens to be this week's WINNER. And not because it reminds me of the theme song to Rocky, which I happen to think is pretty sucky. I like it because it's such a compact and vivid execution of the theme, and something with which I can personally relate.

Thanks to all who played and congrats, Grumpy Granny! I hope you "resolve" to host a whole new theme in the New Year!
