Wave of Life - Aobram

undulate the verb
lacks the fluidity of
its definition

#DailyHaikuPrompt - undulate
#senryu

I thought of a better haiku on my walk with the dog but it escaped me. Still, it had the same sentiment. IMHO there is no fluid grace in the word undulate.

this ripple of heat
hits like a 30 foot swell --
Sonoran August

Forlorn Hope

We may have one long,
thin thread, but the Labyrinth
is vast, and deadly.

There's a Dutch dispute
(humor) on naming french fries
friet (Flamisch) or patat (Dutch)

Both words are used in Dutch but people in Flandern and most people in the southern provinces of the Netherlands only use the word 'Friet'.

bask in your blanket

Child of the forest
She knows nothing about sails
Ask her about moss

No one tolt us life's
tour comprised cruising unknown,
loving to the most

So, another day
