Padhraig Nolan at The Scaldervillage Voice is driving the poetry bus this week. He instructed us to pick a number from 1 to 14 (mine was 8) and then click on this link. He said that these photo archives are part of a larger project called The Commons on Flickr. He warned us to "Be Careful! You could quite easily spend the rest of your day (and then some) browsing the visual riches therein." We were to go to the collection that matched our number & then go to the picture that matched our number. Here is my picture and the haiku it inspired (you really should click on the picture to get the full effect).
She wanted to go
To the winery fest
But bacon is cool
Grapes would be cooler. Literally.
How bizarre is that picutre! Nice haiku though!
ReplyDeleteWho needs surrealism?
ReplyDeletex
Bizarre but definitely cool. Dali would have loved this.
ReplyDeleteAnd your haiku.
LOL! What talent you have!
ReplyDeleteHa! I love your haiku. I thought she was grape stomping when I first glanced at the picture... That link is really dangerous.
ReplyDeleteDear The Bug,
ReplyDeleteA very good haiku!
And what a picture! But nothing will keep me from loving bacon, even the idea that you can slide on it.
LOL,

Eeeee! Chehalis is the local "big city" here! Just south is Winlock, where they have a Egg Days celebration and just east is Toledo where they have Cheese Days....hmmm, I'm getting hungry!....but if Chehalis would bring their big skillet over to Winlock we could cook quite an omelet!
ReplyDeleteKim - I looked up more info on the picture & apparently they were getting into the Guiness book for the world's largest omelet! The bacon was just to grease the pan before they added the 7,200 eggs!
ReplyDeleteBacon is indeed wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHow did you manage to find this picture?
loved the haiku
right!.. that's our next big stage prop for the next gig!.. i gotta get me one of them!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved the haiku for this, just perfect! :-D
Hey Bug, I like the haiku, and speaking of bacon....

: )
A little unhygienic, but fab! Well done
ReplyDeleteuh, yum?
ReplyDeleteskating around a giant skillet with bacon tied to her feet? was this the prize or the punishment?
ReplyDeleteAnd we wonder why aliens don't make contact with us!! A fun haiku piece.
ReplyDeleteRick
Great job!
ReplyDeleteI landed on 8 too, but just couldn't think what to say about the woman in her skillet so I counted rows & columns the other way. Not sure it improved things.
Unbelievable photograph - like a giant getting the little people to cook themselves for him - and the haiku then took me to another place entirely. Imaginative, surreal, just loved it!
ReplyDeleteGreat prompt this week. I've seen things...
And I keep wondering who made the skillet.
WTF! Cool pome though!
ReplyDeleteA nice combination, the poem and the pic!
ReplyDeleteNow we know what they did for entertainment before television. LOL
