One Last Haiku

[ZiggysFryBoy]

"Poland" by James Michener is a great read.

[The Love House]

rakish kayaker
gliding through azure kelp beds
piedmont sojourner

remember ankiel
basalt was also once hot
five years for cooling

hopi wood carvings
foretold the coming of sean
back is zona pride

there will be distress
please back away from the ledge
hello s o s

eno river pier
o give us a skilled sailor
cleansing waters heal

this name has traction
youth from the east will arrive
his foods are found here

so look closely now
crossroads between east and west
eight dishes or drink

Very impressive haiku, but frankly I would have been even more impressed if you would have just found something to rhyme with "Wojciechowski".

I'm also curious. I don't mean to interrupt this Polish love fest, but can somebody fill me in on what that stanza means? I'm proud to say I think I follow the rest of it for once, although I give up if there are hidden letters.

Miller is a Red Herring since people were guessing about Archie. But there is both Polish food and drink in those three lines

Connected through Warsaw this summer as a stop to my final destination, but the layover was 12 hours or so and I was able to take the opportunity to explore. Very nice city, interesting in that it was completely wiped out during WW2 so there is almost nothing historical to see other than what has been reconstructed as a representation. Very nice European city.

One of the Polish kings had the renaissance artist Canaletto paint Warsaw.  They used his paintings to rebuild the city to match exactly.

Yours and Bluteaux's stories are great, great threads in the tapestry of a noble people. Poland had the misfortune of being located at the crossroads of Europe. Marauding tribes from all directions went through Poland. On the plus side, though, is all that DNA mixing has resulted in one of the finest collections of female beauty in Europe. Polish women are magnificent.

I sense a women of the Polish Defense Forces photo collage coming.

No Polish meal is complete without a grease cutting bev

I would be impressed if you used "spirytus"

Here on MUScoop

but I couldn't find my house key.

And what, pray tell, was your source?

Insert whatever vague reference to "connections" inside the program passes for credibility on this board.

"Spirytus" is the Polish equivalent of the dad's fascination with Windex in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding".

Was it.... Ganzer's source?

Thought I set that one up on a tee for you.
