It sounds like an an
gry crow, or a great big clock
being wound backwards . . .

scraping teeth on bones.

Above turned into a 3 in 1. And it won't let me edit properly. So you probably shouldn't read it. Hi.
Hello,
Anut M.
edit...sorta fixed.

Dammit. My last haiku above has SIX syllables in the last line. An egregious error.
Oh shit. Oh well…. Im not changing it.
The grouping of several haikus seems to offer new landscapes.
Started to rain here too. Supposedly for several days.
I seem to be slurv-ing in and out of haiku now.
Nothing worse than a half-assed
haiku. un formed and
un clear in it's attempt
re-arranging clocks is always a good idea.

I'll confess to unpoetic haiku. Sort of working-man's mechanical prose, crunched into seventeen syllables. Clunku ? Oh well -- just trying to keep up my end -- and avoid the drudgery of titling and dimensioning these darned drawings (called, ruining them). Back to it . . .

Hi.
I read this paragraph in the local paper this morning, and I liked it.
yes,
Aunt Mark, station wagon driver
And there were other high-profile personalities. “One of the delights” was to have Bette Davis at The Breakers he told the Daily News. “She was with us more than 10 days, and when she was leaving they asked if someone could see her out the door because there were people waiting for autographs and she didn’t like that. I agreed to see her out the front door and I met her at the elevator. We were introduced, and I was hoping she’d say something very Bette Davis. “I opened the door and she said, ‘thank you,’ and I realized that wasn’t going to work. But when she got out to the top of the steps, she turned to me and said, ‘Oh, how lovely! Black limousines. You know they’ve station-wagoned me to death since I’ve been here.” - See more at: http://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/news/opinion/jim-ponces-death-lea...

Heh-heh. Lovely. And I'm sure she managed to take at least three deep breaths while delivering those brief sentences . . .
(Do you suppose W Shatner's line readings were an attempt to parody La Davis ?)
Station-wagoned to death. Ha !

Well, I couldn't resist the link at the bottom of the page: "dog with ham on his face tricks thousands of people into praying…"
Seems the ham looked like a burn. His face is weirdly blank and pink looking. I mean with the slice of ham on it.
Admit it Mark and SDR, you guys BOTH clicked on the ham/dog story too. How could you not? I guess there were many teasers to choose from at the bottom of the page though.
Great, now I probably will get a virus from Mark's local paper. I know BD is a big deal, but "Dog with Ham" is right up there. I was actually hoping for more of a "religious vision" angle, with people seeing Christ appear right there in the ham. But no.

Hello.
Pictured is Tom. He made a mess on my patio. 350 for 3 hours.
Love,
Aunt Mark
ps. Don't forget to feed the birds.

Hmm. Will it be chicken, turkey -- or ham ?

Yum ! I bet the crowd was pleased, Mark. Did Mr Chopper get his share ?

Hi SDR!
Chopper prefers squirl. He's a cat-foodie. And guppies in the morning for fiber.
Hello,
Aunt Mark
ps plus, I like my pants tonight.
Hi.
