Charles Messina October 7, 2025 at 5:04 AM Line, at first, I didn't see imagery here, then I saw it (lol) Nicely done, dear friend. Congrats on your winning placement! Line Gauthier October 7, 2025 at 6:10 AM The old 1-2-3 of haiku: duh-pause-oh Thanks for my 2nd place finish, Charles.

Gershon Wolf June 12, 2018 at 1:27 PM Yup!...Very nice one...Special for 'the girls.' (Maybe dad can go digging in the garden!)… btw, the title works for sausage as well. (LOL). Best always, gw Line Gauthier June 12, 2018 at 3:04 PM Hence the reason why haiku titles are not allowed... to prevent people like you from providing their own crazy interpretations. LOL Just kidding - always enjoy your zany visits and comments.
