Lol these words. I prefer yours, Cindy! Well, I may come back to them later...

@LiseL @gemswinc @jenebene

This was tricky because I kept reading one word as another.

Perfect score!

(Cindy won't believe me, but I hesitated "forever" because my mind struggled not to go vulgar at first. 😅)

Ladies, you're going to find my words silly. These are not haiku-friendly!

The sale of the croft?
Upon examination,
wildly nepotic.

@MLClark Those last words; very clever. I had to look up croft. I tried examination and hit a dead end @LiseL @jenebene

@gemswinc @MLClark @jenebene

Should you want to hear the lovely word "croft" spoken over and over again by folks who live (and often die) on one, do watch Shetland, possibly my favourite crime drama of all time! (Also, murder might be an excellent distraction right now.) ML's offering could easily be start of any episode. 🖤

Famine except torpor

Except I'm not dead!
(Despite torpor, last summer.)
It’s feast or famine.

@LiseL @gemswinc @jenebene

I LOVE SHETLAND. The theme music starts playing every time I see the word.

And what a terrific start to your piece! I love the declarative energy of beginning with a note of protest in "except". And "torpor" is just great fun!

@MLClark @LiseL @jenebene I see Shetland season one is on Roku. Will try it, sounds like something I'll like!

@gemswinc 👍 Yes! @MLClark @jenebene

@LiseL @gemswinc @jenebene

New season in two days!!!

@MLClark @gemswinc @jenebene

Oh my gosh! 🙏 🙏 🙏

@LiseL @gemswinc @jenebene

🤣🤣🤣 Magnificently bad. Watch for the red herrings today!

In a hunger froth,
secrets unravel--for bread
men will speak such things!

@MLClark @gemswinc @jenebene

Hunger froth? Sheesh, now I have something new to dread! 😂

Well, I guess this could have been worse, lol. Got lucky on yellow, didn't know my blue at all. Pop culture, shmop culture! 🤷

Say it’s natural
to long for heaven, to loathe
the gulf between us

@LiseL It is *so* natural. Your verses touch me, Lise @MLClark @jenebene

@gemswinc @MLClark @jenebene

🙏 🖤 That one was written in my own voice, I suspect.
