Kicks For Hicks

flirting with haiku
                     but married
                    to the senryu

Hilarious word play; made me day and POTD; what a way let me say to take us all hostage, by the way.

Congrats on POTD, Maureen ... (though I wonder if we should celebrating the cheating lifestyle ... lol). To be honest, I never check the POTDs or POTWs, and only ever find out about it if someone comments saying "congrats". ALSO ... Dave's Killer Good Seed is the best bread on the planet (that and sourdough).

Ha ha! I forget to too and am similarly surprised. Dunno about the best... A beloved bakery in town shut its doors after near 100 years, there was such an outcry that a major chain was granted the name and recipes to carry them. The best Rye. And Challah to die for. ;), xomo!

There is a satiric humorous twist to this, which I really love. Congratulations on a well deserved POTD Maureen....Maria Hugs

Of course!! : ) That's the way it works sometimes. Words flirt with the haiku, but are really dedicated to the senryu. Way to go Maureen! Congratulations on Poem of the Day. : ) Brandy

Mo, I spend more time with people than with nature, so senryu just come more naturally. Fun to see people's puzzled looks when you tell them you've written a senryu; seems only poets have ever heard of them! Congrats on your POTD today ~ John
