Alaska Falls

Autumn approaches
Termination dust settles
Time to hibernate
————————————


Time for Friday Haiku with Lou. I put a link to a picture printed by a local newspaper story about Termination Dust – surprised I don’t have any pics at hand to show you. Will have to remedy that soon . . . well, as soon as I replace my camera. However we look at it, winter is fast approaching Kenai . . . the fireweed topped out a week or so ago and the air has a decided bite to it. We’re skipping past summer right into pre-winter.

Ahhhhhhhlaska – I love you, I do.

MB20 – Push

Let’s get married.

What? When?

Now. Let’s hop a train to Vegas and ride the pink Cadillac into the chapel with Elvis. Let’s get hitched, baby.

You’re crazy. We just met. I don’t know why anyone would want me anyway. I’d just push you away. I’d hurt you in the end.

I’m not crazy – I won’t let you push me around. I love you, baby. You know I do. So what we just met? Don’t you believe in love at first sight? Where’s your romance, girl?

Romance? Pfft! You don’t want me. I’m all used up. You don’t want me.

Mel, standing in for Lance and LeeRoy, chose Matchbox 20’s Push for this week’s 100 Word Song challenge. Wonder what will happen to my star-crossed lovers in days to come?

Puppy Alert

Bring in the puppies
Batten down the hatches quick
Winds surge through Kenai

——————————————–
It’s Friday Haiku with Lou. While not hurricane weather by Louisiana standards, Alaska has been experiencing some extreme winds over the past two weeks. We’ve had gusts in the 45mph range here in Kenai. Up in Anchorage on the hillside there were winds clocked at over 125 mph. Lots of downed trees and loss of power situations. It’s time to tie down everything that is loose – including the puppies.

Twilight of the Gods

Devon sat with DeeDee on a bench in Misty Park. Spooning is what their great grandparents called it. Gettin’ a lil sumpin-sumpin is what the kids called it.

As he nuzzled her neck Devon whispered, “They call this the twilight of the Gods. Do you know why?”

DeeDee shivered in delight as Devon found the right spot. Her breath came in gasps and she could barely ask, “why?”

“Because only the Gods could create such beauty at this time of the night; could create beauty in you. You are perfect. We are perfect together.”

DeeDee breathed her last in rapture.

Lance’s 100 Word challenge this week is using the song Monkey Wash, Donkey Rinse by Warren Zevon. The above is my take from one of the lines that jumped out at me.

Your turn.

Penguins

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about nuns: penguins scare me.

Trifextra challenge: Robert Frost one said, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” We want you to do the same. Sum up anything you want, but do it in three words. Your response should mirror Frost’s quote by beginning, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about–.” And the last four words are yours to choose. I attended 12 years of catholic school – Sisters of Mercy? not so much.

🙂 I have one of these on my desk at work – thanks to staff members. 🙂
