Sensational Haiku Wednesday
Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”
Click here for info and background on this weekly event!
The basics:
Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)
This week’s theme is: Numbers
Fine expensive wine
Silver, laugh lines, a twinkle
Age is relative
J-B; Silver Fox
Well loved, well lived, wonderful
Earned every great thing
Celebrating you
Don’t fight me, know I will win
You ARE a smart man!
Happy Birthday, love
Numbers mean nothing you know
You’re still young at heart
Happy Birthday to J-B (Actually it’s September 13, but before our next haiku)!
He hates acknowledging his birthday every year, and yet I feel the need to celebrate him. He has learned to live with it, I think. It’s not like I give him a choice, really, although I met him half-way and didn’t throw him a party… this time. The men in my life have come to realize that I generally get what I want :) Besides, when you find a friend as great as he is, it’s pretty much impossible to ignore important moments in their lives, and I can’t bring myself to do it. Lest he get a swelled head, however, he is truly one of the most stubborn men I’ve ever met, too. Nonetheless, J-B is one of a kind, and I adore him. That’s all there is to it, really.
Happy 60th Birthday, J-B!
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: Freestyle (anything)
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!)
