Sorry, have to bail out for now. Have to clean my house - ugh~
Good luck with the cleaning, Janine.

Thanks P, ugh on the cleaning. I just put away all my many shoes so I can find the floor. Got tired already.Step one - tiny baby steps, I am afraid. My rooms are "Creativity gone a muck!" Just taking tiny break before dinner.
I liked your haiku! BTW - I have a Feb birthday coming up soon, too! Someone else on here is closer to mine. We will have to get a virual reality cake....what do you think?
Il Penseroso, I loved your haiku! very cool!
Here's my go ---

I thought "how aged I am now"
Quite silly was I
I commiserate regarding the ugh about cleaning. I've been doing some cleaning myself-- just finished scrubing the bird cage (good thing I love the messy little critter). Hey, a shared February cake sounds fun. We could get a really big one and eat it all month long (after all, nothing goes stale in virtual reality
. Lest my last haiku give a false impression of my seniority

Crimes against the working man
No redemption here
There once was a scotsman named Drew
Who put too much wine in his stew
He felt a bit drunk
And fell off his bunk
And landed smack into his shoe ~(C) Ms Niamh Anne King

Oh, to move to purgatory
That lucky Dante!

Wow, you gifted poets have some great H's here. My hat is off to all of you! I was gone and you filled the page. I especially like Brainstorms, the first one...

I think Virgil needs to write the next H with that starting line. He read Dante and I did not, so I am at a lose. I have the book, but have not read it...it is on my list of "someday...."
Mmmmm...seems like Janine always is on the lookout for Uncle Virg....Hihihi...
Is it alright if I take it from the last line?

Conviction that is not under-girded by LOVE makes the possessor of that conviction obnoxious and the dogma possessed becomes repulsive - Ravi Zacharias.
