blog cacophonyThis week's words are grace, jitter, thin
Last week I was in the mountains of Yosemite, reveling in the beautiful, granite peaks and persistent, dramatic waterfalls. So I missed 3WW. But it was so totally worth it.
grace and hair get thin
the jitter has left her bug
but still she dances
children's feet jitter
thin and gaunt, they eye the feast
forget grace, let's eat!
broken faith, lost grace
thin alibis hide nothing
jitter in your voice

My favorite line "The jitter has left her bug"
Nice!
". . .But still she dances" Good for her! Great use of the words.
The jitter has left her bug. I resemble that line.
The jitter has left her bug, my favorite line too, that and, forget grace, let's eat, sometimes this is necessary.
the jitter has left her bug Great line but all of these are great.
Loved them all but the last one contains so much 'story'. I really enjoyed reading. :-)
'the jitter has left her bug'..great line (as the others say)..shall have to remember that one..it seemed your three hiakus spanned the years effortlessly..gracefully even..Jae
that first one was perfect.
Now, these are good haiku! Each one says so much more than three lines worth! Love "the jitter has left her bug"!

The Good Husband and I were in Yosemite last fall for a week. One of the best times ever!
And that first poem makes me happy. I love to dance. Never been that great at it, but alway got such joy from the freedom, the expression. I'll bet that's how your aging gal feels!
Big thanks to you all! I guess consensus is I captured at least one good line out of nine this week. Better than my average! :-)
I'm trying to get out and visit you all as well, but it's tough going. I have to earn my paychecks at SOME point after all...
'But still she dances' - just a great line.
It's cool you could go three differently-themed poems from the same three words. Good job.
Thin alibis hide nothing... the third was the most potent, but skipping grace to get eating made me smile! Nice blog, Peter! Peace, Amy Barlow Liberatore
