napping not welching
Those who come here for cogent commentary may be disappointed with
today’s posting. A long afternoon nap has only increased my drowsiness,
leaving me unable to work up either a head of pundit steam or a flow of
haiku inspiration.
I was about to panic, since I need to head out shortly
for Sunday dinner with friends, until I turned to my trusty StatCounter
Came From page, which yielded two interesting entries for our Inadvertent
Searchee file, plus a lead-in for our Sunday Honored Guest haijin.
You can learn a lot of different things at f/k/a, but you won’t find the answer
to this Google query: what does it mean if you get your period a week early>,
even though this post was the #2 result out more than 16 million.
On the other hand, if you searched the word welched> today at Yahoo!,
and clicked the #1 result, you’d find our post “getting welched,” which had a
few haiku by Michael Dylan Welch and a tiny blurb on etymology and political
correctness. Here’s one of Michael’s poems from that post (click to see the
related photo):
a table for one–
leaves rustle
in the inner courtyard
an online collection of photo-poems
And, here are four more haiku from Michael Dylan Welch,
to enhance your day:
a mushroom cap
tilting in the sun—
I feel for my bald spot
before I sit,
I blow an ant
from the stump’s center
a white swan shakes her tail
at last the ripples
reach her mate
dried horseshoe prints
more frequent
by the blackberry bramble
from Thornewood Poems
from dagosan:
Columbus Day rain –
first cozy evening
since Spring

We might not have been productive overnight, but
Ed Markowski was, allowing us to add three new
haiku to yesterday’s pumpkin collection.
