@vonny,
Sadly, she sighs. Men
carry tables into her
front room to prepare.

@ehBeth,
Front room to prepare,
back room to close off those who
aren't welcome.

@ossobuco,
Aren't welcome.
Those who can't be counted on
Daren't ever ask why.

@ekename,
Daren't ever ask why,
Daren't even be shy, for
fear of spies watching.

@ossobuco,
fear of spies watching
tiptoeing around the house
peeling three boiled eggs

@ehBeth,
peeling three boiled eggs,
eating them as humble pies,
and self soothing: never mind

@oristarA,
and self soothing: never mind
"And do not lose heart"
A voice drifts down from the sky

@ehBeth,
Peeling three boiled eggs
With salmagundi salad's
Much more metier.

@ekename,
Much more métier
Would be to become a chef,
And create great food

A voice drifts down from the sky
From a god or goddess?

Here's how it goes. . .the first line of the next person's haiku must be the same as the last line of the previous person's haiku. (My definition of haiku being just the 5-7-5 thing, not the complicated Japanese naturey thing.)

This could be good fun (5 syllables)
More than being swallowed by (7 syllables)
A crazy rabbit (5 syllables)

@vonny,
when one goes shopping
one must have cash and credit
for car or diamonds

@cicerone imposter,
For car or diamonds
I no longer give a hoot,
but friends matter much.


I never did care about diamonds but did like looking at rubies and emeralds in jewelry store windows. Jewels have costs in pain to the people who are 'employed' gathering them, and so probably do silver and I'm sure re gold.
Of them all, I like silver. That took me a while.
