HAIKU MONDAY
Mother Nature lights
The world with bright energy.
Where will she strike next?
HAIKU MONDAY
Hi, and welcome to Haiku Monday! I am quite amazed to be hosting this week, and I hope that I can do this with a fraction of the ability and humor of my recent predecessors. Thanks again to Karl for hosting last week, and to my surprise choosing my Haiku.
This weekly competition, originally created by Troll, is one that I stumbled upon recently, and the challenge appealed to me. I have a lot to learn yet about Haiku, but the group of very creative folks who participate in this fun wordplay has been kind to me as I learn.
The theme I have chosen for this week is “ENERGY/ENERGIZE”. There seem so many possibilities I am looking forward to seeing what this diverse and clever group can do with this theme. You need not include the word “energy/energize” so long as your meaning is clear.
Please submit up to 2 haiku in 5-7-5 format in the comments section here at http://serendipitouswildmoments.wordpress.com/.
If you wish to post a visual please include a link so we can view your visual.
Thanks and have fun!

Striking image!
Good afternoon Serendipity,
We’ll back to the drawing board. Lightning was the first thing that came to mind.
Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. I wouldn’t mind a description of that Buffalo roast.
I’ll be back.
Curm,
Thanks for being first.
David, – truly!
Karl,
Using lightening is still allowed – my Haiku doesn’t count, and I bet you can do a good one.
Aunty,
I’ll add some elsewhere as you suggest – it was pretty late when I posted and was not sure of Haiku etiquette.
Thanks all.

Wichita lineman?
I’m writing one about anger. I’m ticked. My brother in law was yanking my chain about -30 degree weather. I just called him and told him Gold dropped to 600 per ounce. Bet he doesn’t do it again! Was it Glen Campbell that wrote Wichita Lineman?
Very nice haiku! I have a hard time posting at WordPress. Hope this works.
Ritalin rockets.
Testosterone torpedos.
They battle fatigue.
Curm,
Wichita Lineman was sung by Campbell, but written by Jimmy Webb in 1968 – I had to go look.
Czar, welcome. Intriguing reference in your second entry…
Troll,
Thanks for stopping in. Looks like you got your post on here fine. I tried to keep it as open as possible for posts in my setup after having trouble with other blogs. I found that on Curmudgeon’s I had to use Google Chrome to post. I can’t leave a post on yours because it is restricted to only Google Bloggers. Been wanting to ask – how does one keep a ghillie headdress out of one’s bowstring?

Good afternoon Serendipity,
Thank you for hosting, a nice turn out so far. Sorry I’m so late getting back. I just flew in from Williamsburg… Wait for it… And boy are my arms tired. (baa dump bump)
I have two to add to the fray:
Excited state. Then
sequential ionization.
Earth Mothers light show.
Sailing solar wind,
charged particles catch a ride.
Auroras north wind.
Boy, this is getting harder and harder. I’ll get these printed out in the morning to take with me, but will be on the road all day, so hopefully my ride will allow me to read – at least on the non-switchbacky stuff. I’ll post a winner as soon as I can, but it may be Tuesday morning.
You guys are not going to make this easy for me, obviously. Being the host has a lot more pressure, but is still fun.

Nice going all! Congrats, Serendippy on your win and hosting. I was in Atlanta and tried to congratulate you from my mom’s computer. No go!
That anonymous is me.
Missed you, Fleur. Just ain’t an extended Monday without you.
Hi to the late comers. And to Fluer. Sorry you didn’t get one into this. But then again these already run such a gamut of ideas and perspectives that trying to decide on one is going to be tough. After a long day on the road and filled with meetings my brain is too tired to do this justice, so I’ll be announcing a winner tomorrow. Despite all the energy on this page, I need some sleep ;).
Serendip needs sleep, we hope you rest and dream sweet , arise and judge fresh
