Feline Cafe Blogger Wins Week 1 in the Haiku Challenge!
Yes, it’s true! greg1948 has earned a place in the finals with his very first Haiku!
In his own words:
(Its boring Monday. I’ve never written haiku. This is my first one.)
Well, we say KUDOS to you!`
And here is the Winning Haiku by Greg1948 in response to the photo on the right:
O canada long
empty highways traverse a
forested landscape.
By greg1948, blogger at Feline Cafe!

Annette, you should try your hand at this week’s Haiku Challenge! The rules are at https://rantingalong.wordpress.com/2015/08/24/haiku-contest-week-2/ .
I love that you’ve been to Canada! The land is beautiful everywhere, but I’m particularly fond of the rolling foothills.

I agree. Yes, my father’s folks are from Quebec and I worked at the Det/Windsor border for many years. So whether we were visiting family, taking trips to Toronto, Stratford or Windsor, I have spent m-a-n-y a beautiful moment in Canada. In fact, had my father chosen differently, I would have grown up Canadian!

Reblogged this on Feline Café and commented:
I’ve been down the Trans-Canada highway. I’ve drien to Quebec City. Perhaps it was an unfair advantage? Beginners luck, or perhaps just pure talent. Thank you all.

Congratulations again and so sorry the links didn’t work! Everywhere the words ‘Feline Cafe’ showed up there should have been a link back to your website. I’ll have to do some sleuthing and see what happened to them.

Don’t bother on my account. If a tree falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

Thank you very much! Beginner’s luck or pure raw talent? I’ve been down the Trans Canada highway and driven to Quebec (from Maine) and back again, so perhaps I had an inspirational advantage. Another first is that I have re-blogged this on my own site. I never re-blog. I will give you a heads up that there is another haiku in the works! Thanks again for an inspiring contest and great award! I appreciate it.
