If you want to read some more, and better poetry, Diane - who has taken over the hosting of this challenge - and Mimi of
Messymimi's Meanderings - who also supplies us with topics - are writing wonderful, funny,
thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and
read.
Karen of
Baking in a Tornado
has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month -
may we hope for more!
SpikesBestMate
often publishes a nice verse in the comments.
Jenny at
Procrastinating Donkey
who has been a faithful participant, is taking a break due to her husband's passing from
this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of
prayers her way.
I have something more to ask of you: If you read this and the
poetry of others, would you please leave a comment. Half - if not more - the
fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.

Raspberry cake is a worthy subjedt, at least here in the Owlery, where no birthday celebration is perfect without at least one raspberry pie or Swiss roll with raspberry jam. We are celebrating 9 birthdays in a span of 5 weeks (beginning yesterday, but we celebrated Thursday), and I am still watching Le Tour and putting things there and back again hunting for moths, so only a short poem - a Haiku - from me this Monday.
Oh raspberry pie
pleasing and nice to the eye
and palate and nose

Dear readers and co-bloggers, now commenting is again possible on almost all blogs.
We're still waiting for the blogrolls to update, so if you think I'm slow in commenting this might be why.
While waiting for an update on this, know that I'm still reading and enjoying your blogs, albeit a bit later than any of us would like.
Yum.
SvarSletAnd loud applause for your haiku - something I struggle with.
January is 'our' birthday month. I will you all happy raspberry flavoured celebrations this month.
9 Birthdays over five weeks isn't so bad. I used to have 13 birthdays from 28 January to the end of March. Now there are only 11 since both my parents died.
SvarSletI love raspberry flavour.
Love your Haiku :)
Mmmm...so much said in such few words!
SvarSletAnd have fun with those birthdays!
SvarSletYum! A very good haiku.
SvarSletWishing many happy returns to all of the birthday celebrants.
