Silly Haiku Wednesday

Jenn's at it again.
This week's theme is passion!
Quel plaisir! But first:

Check out this award!
A gift from Jenn at this blog --
She has made my day!

Now -- I'll pass it on
to a housewife just like me
(except funnier).

My passion is books.
They teach me, move me, slay me
-- I'm carried away!

Hated him for years.
Avoided his gaze -- it burned.
Then I married him.

Oh, that you would kiss
me with the kisses of your mouth --
your love: sweet as wine.
-- Solomon 1: 2

    Way to go on the AWARD - and so fitting with today's theme (yes my mind goes in the gutter when I see this award)

    I can relate to the HATED him for years ... then I married him.

    Hey, hey, hey! Thank you for the award. I'm blown away!

    I'm clueless as to the ins and outs of blogging, as far as awards and other tits-for-tats. I will think of a way to repay you. It might not be the hippest bloggy way, but I'll think of something.

    Thanks again. I love your blog.

    that ran the gamut -
    explored vast terrain with zest
    fundamental truth

    Better to hate him before you marry him than after.

    Congrats on the award!

    Congratulations on your award. I got one to match this week too - quite a cool award!

    Love your many haiku especially the one 'I married him' which seems to be the most popular. I know what you mean about getting carried away with a book too, time just disappears when I get hooked on a good book.
