Haiku Monday: Adventure

My thoughts are straying from food. With thanks to everyone who has asked after Scout, I am sorry to report he has not returned and at this point I am about out of hope. I dedicate this post to my buddy of 14 years. Moi at Bite the Apple is hosting Haiku Monday this week. Click on over to read a plethora of much more poetic and upbeat entries.

Uncontained Adventurer

Silence here deafens.
Strut your stuff on heavenly
walkabout, my friend.

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

Haiku Monday

Sunday Morning Farmers Market

Daunted, drenched by nine.
Then rare orange veg espied.
Others' sweat, I'll prize.

As last week's winner, blogger friend Buzz is hosting this week's haiku meme, and the theme he chose is "sweat." I am so not a short-form writer that I rarely try my hand at these things. But sweat 'round these parts has become so unavoidable that I came up with this little 5-7-5. Check out the other entries at Buzzy's place. And stay cool, all.
