In like a lion...

Rain: better than snow.

March, you can be a lion -

keep the rain coming!

J-Bod in the HOUSE!

Sweet Jessica (aka J Bod, aka Bod) has inspired me to start this back up. (Along with everyone else who reads this, of course)

We'll kick off this new era of consistency with two of my favorite by Bod herself.

Ready?

Peter pan, a boy

Only wears green and grows not,

A hero to me.

and

The cold is okay if

You hibernate like a bear

And sleep through it all.

isn't she lovely?

Not my favorite

It is so sad that

here in this Utah winter,

snow brings warmer air.

Technical Difficulties

It's really hard to

come up with a new haiku

every single day.

[sorry followers (aka Gretchen)]

Cinnamon Chips

Mr. Cinnamon:

I love your sweet, Eastern charm.

Your ideal form? Chips

Pretty please?

Boy with shark backpack

I pass you en route to school

please, please ask me out.

Silver

both whispy and dense

lustrous, coveted. Color

of unicorn blood.

ABC... Easy as 123

Books: way over priced.

Living in Provo: costly.

New school year? Priceless.

Toast should be:

Crispy, not crunchy.

light, golden brown. And of course -

smothered in peach jam.

[Can you tell what I had for breakfast this morning? delish]

Lumbajack!

First day of a crush -

attracted to his plaid shirt -

mountain man at church

:)

Mmm Mmm Good!

Macadamia -

King of nuts! Perfect paired with

some white chocolate chips

The Socialites

I have lots of really cool friends. One group from high school has recently decided that themed dinner parties are the perfect way to reunite and connect.

My friend Hannah penned this sentiment regarding these parties:

Perfect friendship. Love.
Often apart, heart breaking.
Reunion, best day!

I'd have to agree.

Release

Everyone - let go!

let's throw ourselves a party

in the stratosphere

and

Fav punctuation

I love your symbol & name

how fun: ampersands!

[photo via Urban - don't you WANT one??]

?

I am at a loss.

This is disturbing, but still

I can't look away

New Guest Author!

I've told you about my pretty friend Gretchen before, but never have you gotten to sample her poetry stylings before!

To be completely honest, it's actually a team effort here: she and Griffin (husband) worked on them together. We well now refer to this duo as Greffin and/or Gritchen. But probably mostly Greffin.

What a treat for you. And for me. A treat for us all.

Hello Mr. Pug

We love your cute scrunchy face

and your curly tail.

[They want a pug, can you tell?]

Thanks you guys!

Spring Green

Fresh, cool, renewal

I so long for you now that

everything is brown.

"Extremely Dangerous"

A dragon has soared -

into my heart. A friend for

sweet Velocirapt.

[If you haven't seen How to Train Your Dragon... please do so! You won't even know it's Dreamworks, cause it's not stupid!]

Wave Your Flag

Want to know the best thing about the World Cup?

Right here:

When I get older

I will be stronger - just like

the wa-aving flag.

Feeling

And she discovered

that breaking dishes really

wasn’t criminal.

[Thanks Britt for another great one]
