NnB = Haikus? I hate 'em.
Forever starting a thought,
But then they just stop.


MB = "Well, that’s why there is
vanilla and chocolate
something for us both."

NnB = Ah! "Duplex" cookies,
They are just the only vice,
That I'll 'fess up to.

Okay, friends, I need some help here. I am not about to take on Amy's very own master phrase-turner and poetry-maker all by myself.

MB = The haiku ball has
been tossed in our direction,
shall we toss it back?

If I wanted to write haikus,
I would train myself to think,
In very tight compartments,
Which held no kitchen sink.

With little room to turn around,
I'd hope you'd know what I mean,
In phrases of three tiny lines,
And syllables of seventeen.

M.B., I just went through about 20 and understood this one well:

For love and for hate
I swat a fly and offer it
to an ant.

LOL~~
