(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

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

@MLClark For bread, men might say anything! Excellent! @LiseL @jenebene

@MLClark @gemswinc @jenebene

Did you see me take it back and try again? I can't get no satisfaction!

I HEAR THE MUSIC RIGHT NOW! 😂

Do give it a go, Cindy!

@LiseL You are talented! Good words too. I will check on that show!. Thank you! @MLClark @jenebene
