Smourting (Social Media Courting)

So yes! I’ve made up a new word! It is a combination of “Social Media” or SM and “Courting”…Smourting. Doesn’t sound very romantic does it? That’s probably because it isn’t!

At any rate, here is my haiku for Haiku Horizon’s Challenge Prompt “Court”. I supposed I could have gone the “judge Judy” route or the NBA route, but I’m a romantic…what can I say?! Hope you have a chance to have a tête-à-tête with someone special this week. 😉

Smourting

‘Twas a simpler time
when courting meant tête-à-têtes
not skypes, tweets, and texts!

Change & Mind Haiku

Change in the snackbox
had a mind for something sweet
got salty instead!

It’s been a while since I entered a haiku for Ronovan’s Weekly Haiku Challenge – Prompt Words: Change & Mind. Couldn’t resist! I’ve lived this scenario way too many times!


Jumpy Jumping Jump!

People get jumpy
when jumping to conclusions
just don’t jump the gun!

A little fun with this week’s prompt “Jump” for Haiku Horizon’s Weekly Haiku Challenge. 


How Many Cherries…

Johnny and three friends, Tom, Julia and Matthew went to the cherry grove on Tuesday.

If they left Julia’s house for the cherry grove at 2:15 pm, driving 50 miles at 70 miles per hour, in a vintage VW van with daisies and peace signs painted on the frame, how high would the cherries need to be to be too high in the trees for Johnny and his cherry-picking friends to pick?

Solution: My head just exploded!

For some reason when I saw this photo I thought of those insane word problems in math class. There is a reason I am an artist! You lost me at Johnny and three friends! This Three Line Tale is for Sonya at Only 100 Words based on this photo by Inma Ibáñez.


Magnetic Poetry Monday – 18 July 2016

Happy Monday! I tried a new kit at MagneticPoetry online…The Mustache Kit. And to make it extra challenging, I decided to do a Haiku.  I give you “Smooth Operator!” This was too fun!  Have a great week! 🙂
