Oh my dear… my little Haiku for Ronovan’s Challenge caused quite a fluster…and I did not mean for it to. The prompt words shy and blush and their interesting synonyms definitely took me on a tangent. But you must understand, that for a woman my age, flushing and blushing have more to do with menopausal dips and dives than anything sultry! My mind sooooo did not go where some of yours did! 😳
At any rate, a do-over is in order…g-rated and straight to the point. I also flush crimson when I am steaming mad…which is what I meant to say and should have. 🤪

It’s not modesty
flushing my face crimson red…
I blush when I’m mad!
Of course you could take madness down any number of paths…fuming perhaps? Burned? Irate? Full of rage…some might say passion as I did…but that is easily misconstrued. Pissed! Now that’s a fine word. But I did say this Haiku is rated G. Still…substitute it for mad if you like…at least pissed can’t be confused with being bat-shit crazy! Okay now…don’t you dare go there! 😜
I hope you don’t mind me having a bit of fun with today’s silly Haiku. You all gave me a good laugh when I read the comments. It’s all in good fun that I am carrying on the conversation! 😉

Haha! Oh no!!! I can’t win! But being tipsy does give one’s cheeks a bit of flush. And now I’m being cheeky! Did I get that right!? 😀

Oh. For. Heaven’s. Sake.
Just for the record: I am a woman. I am almost sixty. I thought it was steamy. And I liked it. Damn. It’s not like you put the word PUDENDA in there or anything…

Just having a bit of fun with it Ana. I rather liked them both. Steamy is good. It was just interesting to me to see various interpretations from the gallery…joking or not. It gave me a reason to write another haiku after all…win-win. 😉
