Haiku Sunday (Monday) – Post TBEX musings

TBA represented full speed at the Travel Bloggers Exchange Conference this weekend in Keystone, Colorado. I learned invaluable tools and tricks to this thing we all call home on the keys and I am confident my site will become easier to navigate. Some of you have asked where I was these few days and that warms my heart to know that ol’ TBA may have been missed or that your annoyance levels may have subsided a bit and you just realized why. To that I offer Haiku Sunday on Monday Afternoon.

The Blissful Adventurer - Michael Housewright

Cannoli as a Carry-on from Sicily to Milan

One carry-on only

and the choice was so simple

who needs clothing?

Michael Housewright - The Blissful Adventurer

This guy gave up his wings for his art

Amaro drunk on Monday

Mötley Crüe music at high volume

Hemingway proud day

Michael Housewright - The Blissful Adventurer

Ciccio and The Man

beating ploughshares hard

stone and earth turned by muscle

gently resting for now

Michael Housewright - The Blissful Adventurer

Spaghetti with Tuna Roe

Roe, roe, roe my boat

down to Palermo town

warm long lunch and lust

Michael Housewright - The Blissful Adventurer

Blue House in Burano

Fishermen come home

to eat, sleep and copulate well

wives can’t wait for them to leave

The Blissful Adventurer - Michael Housewright

A Real Sicilian Lunch

smoking kills I thought

as he asked if I wanted a cig

then he asked, “why not”?

      Thanks Boomie! These are very personal Haikus for me and all photos that resonate. I am glad you enjoyed.

  2. Nice! How was the conference?
    I had a pretty “wild” weekend too!

    • mhousewright says:

      Susie, that was good bait! Is there a post about your wild ride weekend? The conference was invaluable. Big lessons and a great meeting with WordPress! Happy to share :-)

  4. Dude, where is my LIKE button?
    Your poetry is very poetic, as always!

    • mhousewright says:

      The LIKE button just crashed my site :-( Bugs, Bugs, bugs…working on them. Now that you have commented your info should be “greyed out” and you should always be able to comment if you are logged into WP or Google and not have to enter your info again.
      Thanks for your commenty comment :-)
