Red Pant Haiku

by Sally on December 29, 2008 · 22 comments

Black may beckon now
But scarlet slacks, goofy vest
Bring me wintry joy

See how that’s a real haiku, cuz of the seasonal reference? Oh yeah. I’m a creative writing major, all right.

Beautiful colors
From Sal’s closet door pictures
Insulate my heart!

I’m also thinking of: Road Salt on My Boots – A Bitchy Ode to Winter, but that would take a while to compose.

I will never get Haiku – it is lost on me but the red is fab!

White button down blouse
Mimics snow on wintry day
‘Midst warm crimson flames.

No creative writing major here, but I like your use of another button-down blouse.

Awesome and awesome. You have just inspired me to bring out my lime green pants. Because nothing says winter like citrus prints, right?

MAW: I will TOTALLY contribute to that ode, if you remind me the rules of ode structure. Flippin’ road salt …

Jody: Damn, girl, could’ve fooled me! That was a killer haiku!

Sarah Von: Darn tootin’ – let’s see the citrus.

WendyB: I know, right? Makes me feel so good when I write my monthly loan check. STILL.

What a perfect winter outfit. I'm *always* pining for vests (sweater & otherwise) but can't handle any more bulk around my bust…

Love the haiku! I wish I had some scarlet trousers – I can never get out of my black slack rut for work!

Oh, so great! When your page opened, I got such a treat with you, smiling from the center page! Beautiful! Couldn’t have asked for more!

And I love this outfit! It also works with gray pants, long, large and straight, like men pants… Actually, it could go with anything as long as you wear that smile of yours!

Looking good Sally!
Your holiday outfit rocks.
But red slacks scare me.

Hahaha, my sad haiku.

Oh that vest is so nice, and you’ve paired it so well. Beautiful as always dear.
Sorry I don’t know how to do haiku :(

Happy New Year
