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: Scent (your favourite scent, etc.)

    Warm french vanilla
    Lavender, freesia, fresh bread
    Memories evoked

Ocean; salty breeze
Forest; deep rich and feral
Home; wet dog, cut grass

    Smooth, fresh after shave
    Musky, just in from the cold
    Scents of a real man

True love comes in waves
Scent, memories, and moments
Cherish every one

Sorry about last week, everyone! Our servers had a major DDOS attack followed by a crashed A/C unit that took out the server my blog is on, and corrupted tons of my files. I barely made it back, but back I am! I didn’t end up visiting everyone from last week, and I’m so busy it will take me time to catch up. Sorry about that!

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: Frustration


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 let me know!)

Phew… I’m alive!

Well, it was touch and go, but thanks to the magic fingers of my favourite techno-geek, my blog has been resurrected from the very, very dead.

We had a server melt-down over the weekend due to a failed A/C unit, which followed a massive DDOS (denial of service attack) on our provider. While not much was lost, fortunately, my blog files were completely corrupted, and I’ve been offline for a few days. Did anyone but Madeleine even notice?! (Thanks for the email)

I did lose a few minor things, and a few tweaks I made are now gone (and I forget what I did just now, so…) but I’m just overjoyed that I didn’t lose any posts, or any comments! Oh, and he found a failed hack attempt too – woohoo!

Tony is my hero. All hail Tony.

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: Wish(es)

    Turn back time, restart
    Another lifetime, and choice
    Might have been different

Now playing, Jenn’s head:
♫ Dream is a wish your heart makes ♪
♬When you’re fast asleep…♫

    For just one moment
    Forget all your commitments
    Just focus on me?

If wishes came true…
Brief, utter utopia
Then world-wide chaos

Folks, a quick note about comments: I do visit everyone, but 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?
