   O this is a neat one!

   Love the secretive ambiguity of it.

   I know you “get” the ambiguity (a little bit of paradox in my breakfast cereal when I wrote it – hear my mind working on a new one? :) ) of this one, right? When the moon is between the earth and the sun, it appears dark, a “new” moon. So, it’s not “really” hidden behind rainclouds, something else is hidden behind rainclouds. Of course, you do, that’s the ambiguity of it, and more, I guess.

   I know I don’t really have to ‘splain it, Lucy. HAHA I just thought I had a… how did you put it, neat one here…

   I hope you are clapping with one hand! hahahaha

   Oh I could write many about birds, moons and clouds. We don’t have a mountain close (canyons but not a mountain). But lots of migratory and other birds! And the weather can change frequently until the summer “drought” season hits.

   I need to put some energy into a haiku or two, but I’m droning, on. I haven’t written too many lately. Anyway, the reason I have several blogs, is a haiku idea from some time ago.

   It came to me during the haiku writing process. For me, usually there is no one “perfect” haiku. I’ll come up with a few variations. So I thought I would like to publish “variations” on haiku on different blogs. They aren’t quite the same but start from the same idea. The words “alike” and “similar” might have practically the same meaning but for me, and I’m sure you, they would change a haiku (or other poem) quite a lot. You get the idea…

   I haven’t figured out a way to group them across blogs, other than to publish the links. So far I’ve been too lazy, or something. Not lazy… something else. I like privacy… hahahaha but it’s obviously sort of a “split-personality” privacy. I’m a multiple personality haiku dude. So you could call me haiku dudes! hahahahah HAHAHA I can’t believe I admit that. Just because I fess up doesn’t mean we will stop being us! :) :) :) (or that all of us will reveal haiku dude, and maybe, dudette, selves!!!)

   I could publish them all together on the same blog, but I like having different themes, etc. Well, sort of. I’m liking it better now that I’m more comfortable with CSS and etc. on wordpress. You can’t hack everything in wordpress or tumblr, or blogspot blogs either (but a lot).

   It’s just what I do, though. Not only the headers. It’s true that I don’t have a lot of time for it. But I like writing haiku, and hacking and mods on templates ~ a web designer thing.

   I do hope there’s NO need for a padded birdie cage at the moment–you cool, haiku dude?

   I think I’m okay for now… But I was just pondering the possibility of a bird blog. Of course I didn’t mean a blog about birds. I meant a blog written BY a bird. You think I’m kidding!

   No, probably you don’t! LOL!
