I BELIVE I FINALLY TURNED OFF MY BLOGGER "COMMENT VERIFICATION". THE NEW VERSION WAS CRAZY. PLEASE, LET ME KNOW IF IT IS STILL ON. I APOLOGIZE, I have NO idea why blogger has done this. (If you use the new interface and want to turn "word verification" off (and you should as it makes responding very difficult - and I'm not going to respond for long to those who have it), on your dashboard page, click the gear symbol to the right of the "Save Settings" button, and choose the "Old Blogger Interface" setting, so you can go back and change it by using the "Settings" tab, and then the "Comments" link. After it's fixed you can switch back to the new interface.I hope this helps.
Eagerness embraced
sun's soft warmth invigorates
confidence instilled
Nurtured no longer
life changing philosophy
tumultuous clouds
Suspicious bias
spring's playful romps, forgotten
expectantly still

The above is an "attempt" at a series of haiku for Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - Haiku with Grace. I'm not that happy with these... it is HARD to do a traditional Japanese Haiku!
The post is linked with "Rural Thursday #3" AND "Friday Fences #21"... I'm being a tad lazy but I'm tired what with sick children and all...
and here is my quick, quick "Friday Flash 55" for this week:
Guilty
Life's eagerness and sweetness mingle with utter dependence
as the calf tugs upon the bottle teat.
Feeling a chill run down my spine, I glance over at his "big brothers".
A suspicious countenance has turned their once warm brown eyes to a piercing glare
and I feel guilty about the hamburger I just burped up.
