The exercise: 

Two haiku about: intelligence.

Back to work in the garden today, but tried to take it a little easy after a long day yesterday. Tonight we enjoyed our first taste of this year's veggies - steamed greens with dinner! Yum, we've been waiting a long time for that. 

Mine: 

"My intelligence
is secret, you can't see it."
I think he's just dumb.

My brain is sleeping -
the sign across my eyes reads:
Please do not disturb.

  1. I liked your piece yesterday :) I think the first bit got up before midnight, the second a little after, but that's based on me having time to post between the two.

    Ah, vegetables fresh from the garden -- nothing beats the taste!
    I like your second haiku best today, I think.
    Oh, and a quick heads up: I'm off to Pretoria from Thursday evening for a week, and as I understand the situation there, I'm unlikely to have any internet connection at all. So I won't be able to post until I'm back -- probably best to expect the Saturday. I'm not hiding though :)

    Intelligence
    Oxymorons rule!
    Mil'tary Intelligence
    Is my favourite.

  2. He's a Star Trek Fan
    And knows when to bring flowers
    Smart men are sexy

  3. There are different kinds of intelligence:

    He thinks he knows best
    Never listens to advice
    Should I warn of quicksand?

    She can't pay the bills
    Always forgets boiling pans --
    She can grow flowers!

  4. Intelligence

    On a whim he shows -
    To the intelligent few
    a simplicity.

    One plus one is two,
    Maths can be easy and fun -
    A smart attitude.

  5. Greg - thanks for letting me know, and enjoy your visit!

    That 'for now' in the second haiku works so well. Nicely done.

    Shauna - haha, sounds like a great catch :)

    And welcome to the blog! I hope to see more writing from you.

    Morganna - your first one made me smile, as did the second. I can't pick a favorite!

    Watermark - really like that first one. Very nicely done.
