Welcome to Haiku Monday!
A weekly competition created by Troll and attended by many fine folks. It's an exercise of intellect and generally lot of fun. Last week our host Moi graciously chose me as the winner(I think this had to do with sympathy for certain amount of razzing) so this week I play host. The topic: Expression
The noun "Expression"
has nine senses, for your fun.
Pick and choose wisely.
Please submit up to 2 haiku in 5-7-5 format in the comments section. If you wish to post a visual please include a link where it may be seen. Again welcome and have fun.

Hope y'all have fun.
I'm up with visuals, which is Coco only becasue I didn't have the guts to put me up. :-)
Even as she sleeps
a thousand thoughts and feelings
are etched in her face
Good evening, Karl. I'm up at my blob with a visual. Thanks for hosting; should be another fun festival of haiku!
"Duck—here come her hands!"
Sorry! Mute without them. Blame
Latin genetics.
Boxer: Hmm, a double meaning. May they be not troubled thoughts.
Good evening, Karl. Thanks for hosting.
Pooch’s extreme itch:
“Try expressing anal glands?”
Maybe you . . . Not me.
===
Attempts fail: Quick jolt
desire reveals vocab lapse.
“Expresso”? Next, please.
to Czar; that is one job I have no problem paying the Vet to do. Just sayin'.
@Boxer: My list of "I'd rather write a check" duties is ridiculously long. Ignorance and avoidance come with high price tags, I'm afraid.
Csar, I'm a fan, but your first haiku really lacks any kind of aesthetic beauty.
@Fleur: Was not one of your first haiku about watching some dog do his business on the streets of Gotham, before you started mining the emotional realm? Don't make me dredge it up.
Or am I mixing correspondence?
It's all part of God's creation . . . from beautiful sunsets to canine anal glands. We can't sit in judgment of God's good works.
Chill wind and headaches
Icy cold, fingers frozen
Pain wrinkles my face
Thank you DMV
Triplets are in my future
or so I appear.
Hi Karl,
Well, it looks like it has already started...
Here is one with a little more beauty, I hope.
Redtail:
As free as a bird;
More than just an expression,
It’s elemental.

LOL @ Czar
Csar, I might have had a clunker or two haiku-wise, but you will dredge all day before you find anything as inelegant as you suggest.
You are thinking of a blog post, and I don't think I wrote anything more graphic than "curbing your dog." Nice try!
I do have a visual up.
Geisha's winter face.
Frozen lake with life beneath
cracks under his kiss.
Fleur loved the geisha's on your sight.
I reread my second one and It didn't seem to express my snide gratitude of my driver's license picture very clearly. If I wasn't so lazy I'd have put up a visual.
Some of these visuals are really showing a huge contribution especially Boxers.
Czar your first one doesn't really need a visual, please.
There, I put up a visual!
Molly's Vole Dance
Happy expression,
Molly’s vole dance is pure joy.
A dog’s morning play.
Serendipity
Visual is up at:http://serendipitouswildmoments.wordpress.com
(A vole is a short-tailed rodent like a mouse. Molly loves to mouse, then play with her victim like a cat will. Her antics are amazing to watch. Flying dog.)
@Czar: I have nothing to say about the first one except I had Beagles once. Yew. Second one: syllable check, dude! (But I like it).
@Serendipity: What a sweet dog!
@Moi: Syllables checked. Thanks.
Czar's brain is askew!
Eeeewwww to his graphic haiku.
He should be squeez'd blue.
@Czar: I stand corrected. Thanks :o) But, dang it, I can't help it. I still hear sy-her.
A couple of weak attempts from me!
The look on his face
did not match with what he said.
Liar expressions.
Expression of love:
tiny boy child sees grammy
and smiles, her heart melts.
@ Fleur
Howwwll!
@ Moi
ya speak Southern, thas' all
Pam OKC...awwww.
Thanks fer hostin' Sir Karl--hoe to git back heah ( two syllables" he-ah/ here) wif' an entry afore midnight.
BOO! HISS! STFU!
All they should say is:
"Gentlemen, Start your engines!".
Moochelle gave speeches.
Up with explanation.
Good evening All,
Is it just me or has this place gone to the dogs? I mean that in a good way. A smile has been my expression throughout, well mostly.
Entries may be submitted until midnight PST. Judging will be posted tomorrow evening or possibly Wednesday morning. (I've had a schedule change that might delay posting.)
Hitchin' his britches,
straw chewin' sloucher whistles...
Blam! Killed in one look :-)
For Moi:
Movement, abstraction,
uniquely American;
Pollock's expression
Sublime sounds caress...
A riveted audience.
Bach's St. John Passion
Hated Facebook
expression: duck lips kissing
in bathroom mirror
Aw, thanks, K9! I still want to riddle his canvases with bullet holes, though :o)
XY + 2X?
May or December it's still
Unfathomable.

Oh my, I'm really coming in late aren't I? This was a hard theme for me, but I didn't give up. Sorry, no time for visuals this week. I know it's a bit early in the season, but it's what's on my mind.
Cookies & milk gone.
The presents under the tree.
Children squeal: Pure Joy.
Good luck everyone.

Good evening All,
