Haiku Monday...

Hello Dhaaarlings...

I haven't played Haiku Monday's for what seems like a life time so I thought I'd throw my hat back in the ring again this week...

Our host is the lovely Boxer while others are busy sorting stuff...
Thanks Boxer!

The Theme for this week is "Smoke"

Head on over to Boxers and check out all of the very talented "haikuists" that usually leave my little attempts standing in a loud of smoke....

Anyway.... Here's my lot! 

Cough Cough Hack Hack Cough
It's Emphysema calling...
Light me another ....?




Corporate Fun!
Bring out the smoke and mirrors;
Let's screw the masses...



Have a great week folks!

Not sure when I'll be back, as things are hotting up in the costume department
Only 150 individual costumes to make and fit ready for opening night in August

We are off to see the Wizard after all..... Dorothy

Haiku Monday....



Hello Dhaaarlings...




 Welcome to this weeks edition of 
 Haiku Monday...


"Aunty Belle " is returned from her French Connecting and being the all jet lagged Aunty that she is...
 Still throwed her hat in the ring over at "Rafaels"... to win last weeks Haiku challenge.


So Aunty gets so be a most gracious but I suspect somewhat out of sorts hostess and judge this week.


 Always one to come up with an interesting and challenging theme... Aunty has not let us down by coming up with a beauty...


The theme is...




"Ghost"


I have a couple of variations on the theme for this week...and have really enjoyed preparing them 


So here goes...
1.
Silver Styx






An unprepared Soul
Don’t stand a ghost of a chance:
Pay the ferryman




2.
Unchained Melody



Love springs eternal
Whoopi? A ghost whisperer?
Cue Righteous brothers 





3.


Something in the air










Spirits rising
All hallows eve approaches
Candy's the reward






Happy Haiku Monday

Haiku Monday....




Hello Dhaaarlings...




This weeks Haiku Challenge is being hosted by "Rafa"


so head over there for a visit and see what other interpretations there are on this weeks theme


"Home coming"



Anticipation...
Winter of my loves return
Final homecoming

Only one from me this week as things are ramping up in the costume department...

(Besides, "Homecoming" is Quite the foreign concept in these parts)


I'm busily sewing together cut strips of velvet (If only I'd thought about it for last weeks theme) to create a "Captain Jack" style coat for the "Mad Hatter"


More progress reports to follow but until then...


Happy Haiku Monday Darlings....

Haiku Monday....

Hello and welcome to Haiku Monday

Leave your entry/s in the comments section below...

I can't say that I'm not a little nervous about hosting this week but I will attempt to do my best.




For those of you in her path... I hope that you have or are surviving Irene's visitation and you all remain safe and dry!
My thoughts have been with you.




This weeks theme is MEMORY





Recollection fades...
If only one could re boot;
a tired old brain









Disconsertion haunts...
Time fogs memories’ recall
Is that how things went?









~ooOOOoo~


I'll be judging Tuesday which is my Wednesday (as I live in the future)
And will post the result late Wednesday Evening...


Thank you all for playing....

Haiku Monday Invitation...and Reminder...

An invitation and reminder for
Haiku Monday... August 29th 2011








It's Haiku Monday!
Remember to enter folks!
Any one can win...









As last weeks winner of the "Badge of Great Honour"
I was feeling quite humbled.... Then I realised that as winner comes the joy and responsibility of Hosting next weeks challenge.

Not only that... but I get to pick the theme and judge your entries!

This seems a rather daunting task, but one that I hope I can do justice to.

The theme for Monday 29th August 2011 I have chosen is


 "Memory"

We may well have had it as a theme before but, I think that it is a broad enough theme to have another go at. 
(Funny... but no one seems to remember exactly...)


So when you are ready, come on over and submit your entry/entries in the comments section of this blog and post an entry on your own blog too if you want...








I'm allowing visuals and or music clips!so get to it folks.


See you all on Monday!
