SENSATIONAL HAIKU & WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY~11

Neither here nor there

Just going with the motion

No will of your own

                                           Procrastination

                                           From one moment to the next

                                           No set goal in mind

Flowing with the tide

Wherever it might take you

Flotsam or jetsam

                                           Nomadic lifestyle

                                           From one city to the next

                                           Never keeping still

DRIFT

If you would like to find out more about the haiku challenge, go to Jenn's blog.

…and onto some mid-week relief in the form of weird, whacky and sometimes wonderful words (from the dag's dictionary)…

Piece de resistance – the last bit of food left in the bowl because everyone wants to be polite.

Bussa nova – the wild dance first forward and then backwards, performed by standing passengers when the bus comes to a sudden halt.

Faultageist – a mechanical problem that disappears as soon as you are in the presence of an expert, making you look like a complete idiot.The machine, of course, goes on the blink again as soon as the expert leaves.

    Michelle, what are flotsam and jetsam?

      Wreckage, cargo or debris that remains afloat after a ship has sunk.
