#11 is really funny. But don't throw away those holy socks. They can be used as cleaning rags before they are thrown away.

Hehe, had more storms last night, kept taking the power out and waking me up. Not had any snow at all this year Can I have some of yours?

somnomollior In reply to Bogbrush [2008-03-13 22:20:16 +0000 UTC]

You can have ours and welcome to it. We had 20-30cm last night then it rained today. The university and schools all closed for the day. It has been painfully cold too. Mind you, I think I prefer it to Britain's extreme gales of late.

They've not been pleasant, although the worst was on the coasts.

AlicesPlace In reply to ??? [2008-03-10 11:05:04 +0000 UTC]

It's been howling a gale all night here too.
And no worries for lack of comments. I'm in the same boat.

3 and 6 are my favourites so far, but all of your haikus give a snapshot of a scene with your clever imagery and a bit of humour thrown in. Very well done indeed, good luck completing the Haikuthon!

Like your latest ones. They are all very atmospheric and seem to be a true diary of March. Sounds like your weather is similar to ours at the moment.

YumeAkuma [2008-03-04 17:09:37 +0000 UTC]

I love the one for March 4th, it's so much like how human thoughts work. Its almost also like you're just observing this random scene happening in front of you, it's amazing and I like reading it because it makes me feel like im watching it happen and you achieve it without a lot of description. You've really captured what a haiku is in my opinion.

Nothing quite as exciting as the matrix with the 3rd, I was simply sat at work doing some programming and the sun was shining, I wished I had the day off
