Déjà vu!
Jonah’s flashbacks began as inclement weather hit his boat. He’d been having a whale of a time. Heavens, he said, What a Déjà view! Micro fiction (131 characters with spaces)
A Haiku (5,7,5 syllables):
Surf’s Up
Inclement weather
A lone yachtsman rides the waves
Spring tide crests and troughs.
(Apols for the puns)
I like your subsequent haiku to Susan's meme. Well done!
ReplyDelete"Heavens, he said, What a Déjà view!" Priceless.
ReplyDeleteLOL. Too funny! A whale of a time! Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week x
Thank you, thank you, I reply bowing sheepishly.
ReplyDelete;O)
What a gem!! And definitely a whale of a time!! Terrific! Hope you have a great week!

Love the haiku, but using Jonah in your story was a touch of brilliance! Well done.
ReplyDeleteSome guys should just stay ashore once they get there. :)
ReplyDeleteClever, love it! :O)
ReplyDeleteI really chuckled at Jonah's predicament! Good one this week. Thanks for sharing both of them with us.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Loved this!!! So glad I stopped by for a visit & now make your 20th follower! :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the puns very much!
ReplyDeleteI love connecting with other aspiring authors. Good luck on your journey.
ReplyDeleteI'm over from KarenG's blog BBQ. What a great idea, no?
Have a great week.
great shout out!
ReplyDeleteFunny and clever! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I like the Biblical allusion...good one!
ReplyDeleteI read your "Quiet" post and realized that my hubby and I are the reverse of you and your wife--I like solitude whereas my husband revels in having people around. He needs an audience.
Thank you for all your wonderful comments everyone. They bring a silly smile of pleasure to my face.
ReplyDelete:O))))))
So good and a laugh to share!
ReplyDeleteLove these haiku's I've been reading lately.
Very good! The haiku is especially perfect for the picture.
ReplyDeleteMadeleine, I came back to tell you about the hair reference. Think Luke Skywalker in the original movie...great hair, whiny voice, all ego . . .
ReplyDeleteAnd once, my daughter babysat some British kids and they were playing Star Wars. The little boy, about 4, said (in a rich British accent), "I'll be Luke! I've got the hair!" It has sense become a tag line in our household, i.e.
Who's taking out the garbage? answer, "I'll be Luke! I've got the hair!"
Silly...and ha ha, my word verification is whelu which sounds a lot like WHALE EW!
I'm a big Jonah fan. My Sunday blogs during the summer were about Jonah. My WIP is inspired by Jonah. A clever rendition on your part.

Tossing It Out
Thank you everyone.
ReplyDeleteI'm writing a particularly harrowing short story at the moment, so all your light hearted comments really raise my spirits again.
