After a week or so without, The Haiku have returned! I've been told by more than a few people that they need their weekly Haiku. There are 2 bonuses this week.
1. Extra Haiku. I usually only do about 8 but with the down time, I wanted to try and make up for it. This week, we have 12 pieces of art as inspiration.
2. This week it is an absolute honor on my part to have someone writing guest haiku with me! Many of you know her as @LyriqueTragedy on Twitter. She is the author of 2 excellent blogs, LyriqueTragedyReviews and DawnPapuga.com. She is an incredible writer and a dear friend. Dawn Papuga.
The first Haiku are mine, the second ones (in red) are courtesy of Miss Papuga. Enjoy.

I follow around 50 blogs, news sites and random feeds on my Google Reader. Whenever something catches my eye, makes me laugh or moves me I tend do drop a little star action on it. Here is a few of what caught my eye.

Things to Do in the Belly of a Whale
from Everything And Nothing by Shawn Zehnder Lea
My lovely and close friend Shawn Lea provides us with Everything and Nothing. With multiple blog posts a day, ranging from deals to poetry it’s exactly the kind of blog I love. This post was in regards to a dead twitter and a flying whale. Brilliant.

Hitman monkey
from Lolcats 'n' Funny Pictures - I Can Has Cheezburger? by ichctcf
I get a very base pleasure out of LolCats. They never fail to cheer me up when i'm having a day that’s less than stellar.
Oh, Baby
from Have A Good Sandwich by Woy
This post means a lot to me as its Mike Woychecks first post about his new baby. Mike is someone that everyone in the Pittsburgh new media scene knows, likes, and in many cases, looks up to. So this was one of those rare moments where we could all come together and smile. I like that.
Don’t Look Now…
from DawnPapuga.com by Dawn Papuga

Notes From the Road ... The Home Edition
from Anthony Bourdain's Blog: Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations : World, Travel, Food, Wine by Tony
At heart, i’m a foodie. An angry, bitter, broke foodie who can’t indulge in so many things. That’s part of the reason I enjoy former Les Halles head chef Anthony Bourdain so much. He’s a foodie at heart. A bitter, angry, rich foodie who can eat wherever he likes and gets paid for it. Snark in its finest form.
