Early Morning Or Late Night?

It's 1.30am, whatever you want to call it. Probably that explains why my brain has decided to post Willow's Magpie picture, for a quickie before bed...

I think a thick brick
is not as thick as a plank,
but far swankier.
P.S.Steven says that should be 'thwankier!' He's right!


Who says a haiku has to be sensible? 

Perhaps I should have gone straight to bed at that point. But no. Instead, I wanderered along a Blogland path or two and found the name Napple Notes had been taken in vain by a Welsh lady (one whom I have visited before) who bears the delightful name of Ada Trellis. It was clear from what she had written, that 'sensible' was probably the last adjective one would choose to describe her penmanship, if her latest post was anything to go by... Click on her name to decide for yourself whether we are sisters under the skin...

    Jinksy, I am glad you had time for a 'quickie before bed', I like the idea of a swankier brick.

    That Welsh lady is definitely the Anti-Jinksy! Sisters? I think ot, or maybe even not.

    Am off to see if we are sisters under the skin - or over it for that matter.

    And if I stayed uo till 1.30 , could I discover a , so far deeply buried , talent for poetry ..... or should I just continue marvelling at your polished haikus , limericks et al. ?

    FUN! And no, haikus do not have to be high brow or boring.

    Most of my best thoughts have been at 1.30 am. Creativity lives in a different time-zone.

    Sensible can be very boring!
    You have far too much sense of humour for that to happen!

    I prefer a plank
    to a brick, however thick,
    on a sinking ship.

    Erratum: That "I" should read "I'd".

    Everyone should go without sleep for 24 hours and then write a poem. I think it would be hilarious.

    This was terrific.
