Five for Friday Fiesta


"Jazz Time" by Chidi Okoye
 
Yes!  It's finally Friday.  The end to another busy week.  This week had its highlights, mind you.  Like on Tuesday, when Diane Mayr joined me in the Haiku Garden with a haiga about one of my favorite flowering plants.  (Go ahead and check it out.  I'll wait.)

Where were we... oh yeah, who doesn't love Fridays?  And since discovering Poetry Friday, they're even better-- like sitting down with a cup of joe and the Sunday paper, minus the boring sections.  Heaven.

Today I'm not much in the mood for anything hardcore.  I'm in the mood to party.  Something light and carefree.  How about a Five for Friday Fiesta-- a little ditty free-for-all?

To join me, all you need to do is string five words together (plus title, if you like) having to do with your current state of mind.  Leave it in the comments section and I'll move it here so we can all enjoy.  Don't fuss too much or bust a gut, it's just five words.  You really can't go wrong.  Now don't leave me hanging, because a party of one is just no fun.  Deal? Deal.

Oh, and when you're done here, make sure you visit Carol at Carol's Corner for the rest of today's Poetry Friday roundup.

  1. Love your poetic cleansing! So much better than laundry. Tomorrow I'm heading to the Botanic Gardens with Mary Lee, who is visiting her mom in Colorado.

    1. Love this, Carol-- the idea of flowers rooting your soul is just beautiful. Sounds like a fun day tomorrow! Enjoy your outing with Mary Lee :)

  2. Wow. Both of you have SOUL as one of your five words! I love them both, but especially Carol's since I'll be sharing that rooting. Rootedness. Rootfulness. Day.

    1. If I had to pick a favorite of these, it would be the forgiving clock; but I'm all for this party going strong throughout the weekend and beyond! Thanks for coming. :)

    1. Never late, Tabatha-- always welcome! Wondering if your 5 words were inspired by yesterday's Puccini post? I would eat that kind of music for dinner, breakfast, or lunch. :)
