SENSATIONAL HAIKU & WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY~10
If you could define
Or compare your writing style
To levels of fire…
Leaping and soaring
Flames that engulf and consume
Red hot and intense?
Or a slow steady
Constant flickering, burning
Like a candle flame?
FIRE

…and here's the latest weird, whacky and sometimes wonderful words (from the dag's dictionary)…
Earternity – that endless and particularly enervating period of time when you are stuck holding the phone to your ear, waiting for your bank, Internet company, or insurer to actually attend to you.
Cordon blur – the moment, halfway through cooking a recipe, when you blindly add a tablespoon of cayenne pepper instead of the required pinch.
I love the way you've creatively written this series of haiku.
My fire does all of the things you describe!

Love what you did with the word here.
@Teresa ~ thank you!
@Magical Mystical T. ~ little bit of this… little bit of that? your fire sounds like the perfect combo!
@Anthony ~ thanks, I also enjoyed your multi-faceted writing!
excellent analogy! fire has so many aspects!
creative expressional takes on 'fire' ~ Wonderful! ~ thanks, namaste, ^_^
A great analogy! I'd have to say mine is a bit of both.
@TTT ~ yes, one can look at it in so many different ways…
@Carol ~ thanks for the visit!
@Karen ~ little bit of both means you've found the balance…
haha. I love those new words. Earternity!

most unusual and interesting take on fire……enjoyed your haiku
I love your wacky words! The analogy you painted is really neat, too. I guess my writing style is steady. Nothing too intense.
@Nutschell ~ the words always put a smile on my dial!
@4joy ~ thanks for popping in!
@Sherry ~ nothing wrong with steady, it's also dependent on what a person writes…
Always enjoyable to visit —

I tend to try for intense, but I think a good story has to have both its fast and slow elements.
I once wrote a haiku. I thought it was pretty good. So good, in fact, that I retired my haiku-pen forever. Ha!
And then there's the cordon blur dig where you try and fish the extra spice out of the goo.
@Becca ~ glad you enjoyed (this coming from the Queen of Haiku herself)
@Golden Eagle ~ you've nailed it… each has its place within a story!
@Stephanie ~ *chuckles* it couldn't have been that bad…
@Leslie ~ hilarious! mmm… talking from experience, by any chance?
Beautiful and creative. The fire analogy stanzas resonated with me.
Oh, interesting way to incorporate your ideas into the theme! Nicely done! I like to write with all of the above, personally 🙂
@Rekha ~ I'm glad you connected with the haiku… 🙂
@Jenn ~ I have no doubt that a balance of the two produces fine writing… thanks for popping in! 🙂
