Haiku Monday: String
Welcome friends it's time for another haiku Monday. Fishy, our winner from last week apparently found my attempts at humor funny enough to give me the win for last week. Thank you! The topic this week is string. You could string me along or tug at my heartstrings or contemplate string theory, pick a tangent and take off with it.
5-7-5 format please. Leave as many as you wish, only two to judge. The cut-off time is midnight Monday Pacific time. In the consideration of our friends on the West Coast. (Boxer, hint hint)

The theory of strings
A point where chaos abounds
Tackle box centered
Interesting topic. Here is one for starters, Karl.

My Favorite Strings ;-)
Paracord uses:
tie downs, rappelling, towing,
field repairs. Endless.
Serendipity: Not to mention making macrame, manly again. What with paracord bracelets and paracord belts. Thanks for the entry.
The ties that bind us
pull,sway,bend with the harsh storms
never do they break
Thy tongue speaks falsely
tangled in a web of lies
beware strings attached
Up!
In out, out in, OUT!
Faster, higher, clap the beat.
Chinese jump rope rules.
I LOVE the rhythm of Moi's entry.
Just brilliant!
That thing on the string?
Is not heirloom runner beans.
Ahhhh! Kite tail fine art!
I'm up!
Good luck and happy Monday to all.
"I Know You, Rider":
Twenty-nine strings blistering.
Bluegrass? Rock and roll.

Thanks for hosting, Sir Karl.
@Czar: Whew. NOT jazz! This is great.
@ Czar
I almost wrote an ode to deliverance haiku but .... well ... really, it would be a cultural violation.

arachnid string art
Becca: Both are so true.
Moi: I can't seem to get on your site to comment, this is what I was going to leave.
Wow! Chinese jump rope sure is neat and so is your haiku.
Thinking of jump rope , This way takes less coordination.
Fishy: I would like to see a picture of the other end of the kite if you have it.
Czar: Very cool. Both haiku and the link. My father was friends with members of the band, we used to go the Birchmere to see them often. My father brother and I used to do a fair and a shun if that song. The last time my brother and I performed "Wait a minute" together for an audience was just after he passed.
and a shun = rendition. I just love auto correct.
Chickory: Nature's beauty stronger than steel.
The dread C sevens
burning the persian and the
composure of elves
only 324 days until Christmas. thanks for hostin' Karl.
@Karl: Funny. As I was writing this, I had a thought that given your proximity and estimated vintage, you might well be familiar with them. I saw them in the early '80s up at a music festival in Chickory country, and then again about a mile from my house a few years ago at another musical festival. Seeing them back in the '70s must have been something. Truly world-class musicians who could put on a great show.
Karl, the world's most interesting man, performing "Wait a Minute" for an audience. The legend grows.
And strangely enough, I knew exactly what "and a shun" meant.
@ CZar: thats good stuff, seldom scene. You would also like Blue Highway. -chik
Hi, from my mechanical engineering conference in Boston! No visual this week.
Cracked heart, painted smile.
Bend and bob like summer wheat:
your marionette.
Seldom scene??? Oh chick chick chick....Mondays is rough ridin' Sir Fair? Will try to git back. Good luck to all.
Red faced Auntybelle. Sorry CHickory, 'tis' correct now that I see it be the band's name.
Hi Karl, looks like a good crowd gathering. Here is my second entry. I have others for fun where the visual for this one is.
With reckless abandon
cat and human play with string!
Harmless fun for both.

Oops, let's try this instead.
Reckless abandon -

Anyways, here's my 'ku...
Giggles & laughter.

Summertime genius.
Good luck to all & congrats Karl on your win last week.

Chickory: The dread C sevens would be a cool name for a band.
Czar: "Estimated vintage" that's pretty good. The Seldom Scene were a great band to watch up close. I'm not sure how my father got to know them. He would go to see them, whenever he had a chance.
You think that's interesting. You should see the look on my kids faces, when I break out into spontaneous show tune in public.
Fleur: No need for a visual, your haiku paints the picture well. Have fun in Boston.
Fishy: Or breakin' the knickknack, depending on the hands it's in.
Aunty Belle: nice play on yoyo. Neat clip as well.
Funny I don't see you as a gamer. You finally found something you could do with your apple pad?
CoryJo: Again, no visual needed your haiku paints the picture well.
All: I'll be back with the write up as soon as I can. Have a good day.
What a great batch of entries! Karl really inspires. Now his work is cut out for him. Good luck everyone, especially Karl!
