Haiku Monday: Journey

This week seems to be full of invitations, both extended and received. At the shout-out/nagging? of Aunty Belle, who is hosting this week's Haiku Monday, I am going against my grain and trying to compress my thoughts into a couple of 17-syllable offerings on this week's theme: Journey.

This Ain’t Your Grandpa’s Bread Line

Sweet or sourdough, boy!
Beckoning Blue Oven loaves.
Tortano, at last.

And here's an untitled one that's less foodie-ish, but even more from the heart.

Western quest, a drive
toward hills heavy with sage.
Jagged landscapes: home.

Stop by Aunty's place to check out all the fine entries this week. Thanks, Aunty, for distracting me from my frettin' over what my silly city is doing to my beloved street-food peeps. I'll be back later in the week with more food-focused coverage (and more news about food vendors getting booted from Fountain Square if I can track it down - dang!).

xoxo,
eggy

WOW! I do make my own bread but it doesn't look as good as this one here... I can even smell it.

Beautiful haiku! Thanks for the visual. ;)

Awww, thanks to all for your encouragement. Although I always feel the rest of you haiku with some much more finesse than I. I am especially honored to receive a nod from Troll - now off to check out his restaurant review!
