The slug
Walking on the deck
On a moonless summer's eve
Squish between my toes
Since I already posted a haiku containing today's word, I thought I'd share a second one that was merely inspired by it. I hope you enjoy the wonderful sensory imagery.

Slug
No takers on slugs?
Slimy, creepy, crawly bugs -
gotta love slime trails!
Victoria drank
a glass of wine with a slug
that she swallowed whole!
(Victoria was a friend of mine on the now defunct WritingChat list. She was a kindergarten teacher and poet by day, and a writer of literary erotica by night. And one evening, as she sat under the moonlit California night in her backyard, with a glass of red wine and some dark chocolate, she reached down for her wine glass and took a sip. But there was... something... that she swallowed with the wine - a SLUG! I wrote her a poem to commemorate the event, and she loved it. Victoria was a sweet, funny, generous lady, and I miss her.)
"Don't slug your sister,"
shouts the mother to her son.
"You know she hits back!"
Twitching antennae
speckled wet slimy body
but naked - no shell
I think that's enough
I can just see the slime trails
along my glass door.

Okay, artists, the wacky word for this week is
I'm sure you can write some truly terrible haiku with that one!

Going over to the Dark Side...
A long time ago
and very far far away...
Star Wars: A New Hope.
Lightsabers, the Force
are just no match for a good
blaster - so says Han.
R2-D2 beeps
C-3PO just complains
Ben Kenobi dies.
New game strategy -
wookiees will rip your arms off -
Let Chewbacca win!
Duuuuh Duuuuh... duh duh duh
Duuuuuuuh Duuuuh... duh duh duh Duuuuuuuh Duuuuh
Duh duh duh Duhhhhhhhhhhhn. <grin>
My work here is done. (Hey - that's 5 syllables!)
I don't have any more work.
Really, that is all.

Marvelous Movie Monday!
Good morning, haiku-ists! Rise and shine! In spite of Daylight Savings Time (uuuuggggghhhhh), we need to step up and write some terrible verse. The movie today is
Star Wars
(now known as Episode IV: A New Hope)
The IMDb page for Star Wars is here.
The Wikipedia page for the Star Wars universe is here, and for the Episode IV movie is here. There's an interesting page on the languages of Star Wars (featuring the language spoken by wookiees) here.
The official Star Wars site is here, and here you can find the Wookieepedia, a wiki devoted to Star Wars.
Please try to limit yourself to just Episode IV, and not go into the other movies. That way, we can use the other movies on other Mondays.
And BTW: "A long time ago" has five syllables. Just sayin'.
