Menopause blues
I tend to be longwinded, I know. But here's a haiku, just to prove I can be succinct too.
Body knows not if
It's hot or cold; she's on fire
But not with desire.
Cheers!

That reminds me, paula dean on food network had an apron that said "I am still a hot babe...it just comes in flashes"!!
So, the lady does haikus too.
Give us some time to catch our breath, please. You ignored every convention other than the seventeen syllables here, Lali.
I'll tell you my name if you respond less dismissively. Deal?
Sincerely,
Secret admirer
Sowmya- Hi. I understand that sentiment perfectly. Do keep visiting.
Anon- I don't bargain.
Woo hoo. Cut Secret admirer some slack Lali.
Great haiku, but I have to disagree with Anon. You followed conventions, not just the 17 syllables but you did it differently.
A question - I read somewhere that "Haiku happens", meaning it shouldn't have any poetic metaphors etc. Is that so? Is that one of the ignored conventions, anon is refering to?
Rajesh- I know I did it differently, Child. Thanks.
D.N.A.- Um. Stuff happens but haikus are constructed. I think Anon was going on about concept, elaboration and tangent.
I think I provided all three, but Anon thinks not.
Brillianto lady! And I completely like your style there with the anonymous. Dismissive, u must be, and NO bargains struck there ;)
Priya- Thanks, darling. For both endorsements. :)
@ Missus Em:
Nice Haiku
Ram- Thank you. No Yawn of the Day?
