Beauties of the Gloaming | Harvey Austin Fuller

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

I‘m in Hilo overnight from meetings today to Leadership graduation tomorrow & an office pre-holiday pau hana tomorrow afternoon/evening. Got a delicious mushroom smash burger & fries from the hotel bar & ate it on my balcony listening to the mynahs before going back in to finish some work. It inspired this haiku:

In the gloaming time
Clouds gather, mynahs chatter
Hilo Bay, twilight

I have a pet peeve -
Violet eyes annoy the crap
out of this reader

I bet they will be mentioned at least a dozen more times before the end of the book

dabbe The only person I'd maybe vaguely accept with violet eyes would be Elizabeth Taylor. Maybe. After that, nope. You captured the feeling well! 💜💙🩷 17h

🤔 violet eyes are pretty...then again, I believe just about all eyes colors are pretty 🤗...

Kristy_K Same! The amount of fictional characters with violet eyes compared to the actual population is seriously skewed. 13h

First, I'm alright. Nothing a middle of the night visit to the emergency room can't fix. I slipped on our concrete floor in my slippery slippers while trying to give the dogs treats, and I fell back on the ol' noggin. Of course Pip ate all of the K-9 kabobs that fell around me. Quite the sight. Recuperating today. 🤪

Nothing like a fall
and some head staples to make
you feel really dumb.

Love Actually | Richard Curtis, Peter Mountain

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

Behind for yesterday‘s haiku but I‘ll post today‘s. I‘m about to kill ChatGPT as I wait for them to create 2 documents. It‘s keeps telling me it will be “coming soon” & “just a moment longer” & “it will be in the next message…” I feel like Alan Rickman waiting for Roan Atkinson to wrap the gift for my mistress in Love Actually. 😵‍💫 It inspires this haiku.

Love Actually?
I wait for ChatGPT
“Just a moment more…”😵‍💫😬😩
