ReplyDeleteThanks Janice ... thought I'd try the "American" variations.
Delete"Roastin' ears in melted butter" - and the beer -- VERY appropriate to have that as an American Sentence! ;)
ReplyDeleteA taste of summer and fall -- YUM! :)
Thought so too ... can't imagine Japanese eating "roastin'" ears and drinking beer, personally as I was writing these I kept thinking that corn seemed (to me of course) more of a summer kigo rather than a fall kigo. :-)
DeleteLike the popcorn dancing in the hot skillet. Indian summer and ripe corn. Lovely warm images.
ReplyDeleteThanks ... love popcorn and almost overlooked it! Hope you're having a nice Indian summer ... :-)
DeleteI decided to add a muppet video featuring "popcorn" to the post ;-)
DeleteI'm enchanted by the popcorn dance!

I agree it was much more difficult than I thought it would be ... the last one is of course a more classical haiku ... I fell back on the others out of despiration ... but they were fun!
DeleteI love them all and can relate to each one. Mmmm corn roasts and lots of corn, too much beer and lots of laughing. We are surrounded by apple orchards here and I love the smell of the fresh picked apple...another scent that should be bottled along with fresh cut grass, new born`s scent and individual bottles of your lover`s scent...that is tickling my muse now:)
ReplyDeleteAh the scents you've mentioned her are priceless ... and I do so agree they are the spice of life. Wonder where your muse took you here! A hunting I must go!
