Drunken Moon

through dawn fuzzy haze
 soused in sunrise cointreau rays
 sits the woozy moon

I told you that I'll come back to comment after seeing this entry on the winners' list! Great haiku, and I love the word 'soused'. Congrats on a merited win. // paul

Grazzi, Paul, and I heartily agree- 'soused' being either drunk or marinated is a much underused word. We have our Beer festival starting tonight in Derby, so tomorrow lunch I'm going to get sou- er, merry. regards, Viv

It's got a hangover. And stale breath. I've got it some Orbit Sugar-free gum. Viv x

great drunken words you used. Reminds me how I tried to do mine! Very well done, and congrats.

I gather you don't drink, Andrea, which made your job harder. Me, I've got alcohol constipation- I can't pass a pub. Viv x

Thanks, SKAT, very kind. You put yourself in a cleft stick entering your own competition, but I see you've placed yourself stylishly. Clever, but your poem was worth a higher place. Viv x

Thanks Rhonda, I left it very late to enter- was sitting staring at the ceiling chanting 'come on, brain.....come on, brain...' with only a couple of entries left before close of contest. Note to self- must scan contest section more frequently. Thanks for dropping by. Viv x

Love it !!! Very clever little Haiku.. the Cointreau/sunrise hues match and the 'fuzzy haze/woozy moon' is brilliant. Good luck.. sure to get a placing x~x

Viv Wigley
Date: 7/5/2015 9:44:00 AM

Thanks, Kim, I don't normally touch anything apart from a beer or a glass of wine, but Cointreau with it's warm soothing colour (and the past experience of being mellowed by it ) worked well, I think. Thanks for dropping by, and I shall visit your work shortly. Viv x

I like it!!! Sure to do well - Julia

I'll raise a glass to that, Julia. Oh, hang on- it's only eight o'clock in the morning. Oh well, I can wait. Ten minutes. Viv x

Very descriptive haiku, Viv. Won't leave you wondering what exactly is going on. Learned another word - soused...:-). PS. About your comment to my trad haiku on ants, thank you for referring me to Ogden Nash. Will have to acquaint myself with his works. Sorry I had to mention it here, I inadvertently deleted the poem and PSoup still have not replied. :-)

Viv Wigley
Date: 7/4/2015 12:37:00 PM

No worries, Kim. I have loved Ogden's work since childhood. My Irish Uncle introduced me to the silly poems, but as you go through his works you discover a sharp perception, honed by his wisdom of the ages. Some lines will stay with you forever- I will be interested to see which of his writings 'float your boat', as it were. Patiently work your way through them. Viv x

Not to me: Remind SKAT, to breathalyse this haiku, :) Viv, no caffeine... LINDA

Viv Wigley

I hope nobody stops my Haiku and breathalyses it. Thanks, Linda, Viv x

Viv Wigley

oops, wrong box. Note to me- more caffeine required. Duh....
