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

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

  3. 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.

  6. Better to hate him before you marry him than after.

    Congrats on the award!

  7. 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.
