Folks, a quick note about comments: A few of you don’t have Name/URL enabled on your blogs, and I CAN’T comment in that case. Take a moment to enable that, will you? There are other ways to combat spam and still allow people with their own domains to leave their homage to your greatness ;)
Next week’s theme: Fleeting
Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List (if you’re not listed and should be, please [politely] let me know!)

Loved your always impressive and insightful Haikus Jenn.
You Rock Baby!! Thanks for hosting…..G
This theme nearly stressed me out but I made it work… ;) Thank you for sticking around, even when I’m a lacking slacker. It’s good to be back!
Wooot! Welcome back!
You made me think of sport, something I never excelled at! So I had a jibe in the last line.
Great selection. I’m feeling haiku rusty at the mo’ so not taking part this week. I will resume again when the urge returns.
I think “excel” will be difficult to write a haiku about, but I shall try
Dear Jenn,
This is one of those weeks that the prompt has me stumped. This is about the best that I can do:
some words in haiku
just don’t work at all–“excel”
happens to be one
Or this:
in the haiku form
some words should never be used–
“excel,” for instance
I’m so looking forward to working with “fleeting” next week!
Fondly,
MMT
hahahaha! You’re too funny :)
always love that you use every angle of the prompt!
I like the first one, but the last one made me laugh :)
My difficulties have been voiced by Magical Mystical Teacher here!! I could not excel your multiple takes which are par excellence!! I have tried and mine is up!! The Queen of flowers which surpasses all the rest in beauty and fragrance!!
Jenn – You always amaze me with the numerous Haiku written each week for the prompt!! This week is another successful post — you more than excel in being the “Hostess with the mostest!! :-)
Awww thanks Becca!! :D You’re a sweetheart!
I “think” in haiku/senryu/otheru, so it just seems to flow easily I guess? Never takes me more than 5 minutes to write mine.
i agree with Becca! you epitomize excellence, Jenn. ?

Thanks Dani! :) You guys are too sweet!
I wrote some senryu on excel charts. I generated random data.
