- Come on in and make yourself comfy. Kick off your shoes. Coffee? Tea? Sit awhile and read… Express your thoughts. Any questions? Feel free to ask for I am a woman of a certain age and I do not fear my secrets. I welcome them for they have led me here, where I pour them out in written word. I'm also a Recovering Catholic, but I very much believe in a Higher Power. Those shoes you see in my banner, I own those shoes... Stuart Weitzman Fever in patent leather red! We used to get out alot more, me and my shoes. So I decided to add them to my blog because, hey, I'm not dead yet!!

following my nakedness
Yes, I like it
But this does several things that I think make it an outstanding haiku: It packs a lot of story information into a small space, seemingly effortlessly—none of the words seems other than casual, yet it establishes a reasonably complex scene. It also has the nice thing I like (and that as nearly as I can tell from reading Wikipedia is the function of the kireji, which is probably literally absent yet structurally implied) of being broken into two parallel parts, with a shift in focus between the two that reframes the scene between the two.
Oh, and it's evocative at the emotional content level, too.
High marks.
It was just my dirty little mind at work!
