Haiku – The Old Course
Sea gulls chattering

I have gotten hooked very quickly on golf. I watched it a bit off and on before this year, but for some reason I just can’t get enough of it now. I have watched as much as I can of The Open this weekend. The drama, the suspense, the weather, like a great movie with a great cast playing out minute by minute. The fourth round should be amazing on Monday.
So, do you watch or play golf? Knock some reasons into the comments section below.

Haiku – Saturday Afternoon, July 11th
Abundance of sun
Parted clouds opened up wide
Revealing blue skies
-
Haiku – Unfinished
Thunder and lightning
Nature’s electrical dance
Those are the first two lines. Now, I need some help figuring out how to close this Haiku. I like all three of these lines, but I’m not sure what best fits it.
Here are the lines.
A. Takes two to tango
B. Across tonight’s sky
C. Across the night sky
Any thoughts as to which one is your favorite? Can you think of another line to close it with?
I’m leaning more towards A. myself.

SELLING SIDEBAR
I know this has nothing to do with the post, but I just released “Joyride” back onto Kindle. I thought some of you out there might like to read it – especially any dads (or moms) reading this post.
(Revised and Updated: 2015) A Joyride in a Chevy Chevelle. The car was just sitting there for the taking. What could possibly go wrong? Vinnie and Mike are about to find out what can and will go wrong once they turn the key. Evil awaits. Ride shotgun if you dare with this short story.
