RETURN TO HOT STUFF!

Hot Haiku:

Chilly autumn air

inspires chili making

...with lots of chiles!

Snow and ice below

Conspire to chill me through

Hot nuts warm me up

Snow falling outside

Keep the fires burning bright

With chiles and spice.

Pour on the Hot Sauce

in the Heat of the Cold night

to Spice up your Life.

-Nicole G.

Tongue titillated

Scalp moistening so coolly

Nose running freely

-John P.

A flush to the face

A bead of sweat on my brow

Oh, you hot pepper

- Anna

Touch to my tongue tip

chiles so hot, my eyes drip.

Butt waits final kick.

-Paul R.

I become inflamed

My irradiant nectar

Consumed lustfully

-John P.

Mourning the Last Drop

Heart in hand, breath held

Time and matter near the end

Bottle is empty

-for Geo

BBQ Haiku:

Got turkey fryer

On the home shopping channel

Burned the trailer down

-M. Love

Fruitwood scented air

Crisp Autumn tinted sunshine

Turkey slowly smokes

-Anna

Mahogany sheen

Pink smoke rings glorious pig

Tender to the bone

-Dave

Dog days of Summer

Top with extra fun and sun

But hold the relish

RibFest Haiku

Smoked to perfection

Bone gently releases meat

Finger lickin’ good!

Sun beckons outside

Lovely day to barbecue

Fire up the grill!

Why wait for Summer?

Create your own heatwave now

Fire up the grill

Mother’s Day Haiku:

All Sugar and Spice

But Her sweet heat will melt ice

Mama’s a Hottie!

-one hot mama

M-O-M

Memories of meals

Often simple shared suppers

My Mom’s home cooking

- for Cindy

Haiku Lesson for today...
Traditional Japanese Haiku often involves a reference to the season... but we figure seasonings are close enough.

Double entendre - a word or phrase with two different meanings, particularly if one is risqué - is another tradition.

Extra style points are awarded for using larger words with many syllables rather than many words with fewer syllables,
for example:
“One Habanero”
is more impressive than
“One red hot pepper”

New Year’s Eve Haiku

Tiny bubbles dance

My tongue tickles with delight

Kisses at midnight
