Thank you. I like "waiting as in scole"; its ambiguous imagery reflects nicely on the psychology of waiting. Would you like for me to post it to the LibraryThing Haikus page?

Hello krishh,

There's been a recent mini-outbreak of haiku on the topic of "Waiting for Collections" -- I thought, since you contributed a haiku in the past, you might want to join in the fun... Check out this thread and, of course, the LibraryThing Haikus page.

Nice collection of books. I don't run into many people who are interested in both calligraphy and tea, like me.

Greetings, KH! I just perused your library and took a look at your T system. I tried to figure out a way to differentiate in my tea library between books that are really about tea (my actual interest) and books that are about serving afternoon tea, or use tea as a theme, etc. I finally just decided to rely on tags, and that way I can find (on my list and in real life) all the ones on chado, or all the children's books, or the mystery novels, etc. But I like the visual image of a book more or less filled up with T!

:) Yes, that makes good sense.

Krishh,

Thank you. I wish I could understand it all! At least the thread of significance between the various desserts is clear, and I enjoyed seeing them, and thinking over the way edibles are named for the famous and things (like opera) in vogue. The Callas clip was a final pleasure.

What exactly is a souvenir day? I know similar terms, but not that one! :)

My pleasure and thanks for the kind words. I had such a hard time writing poetically in pirate-speak (I pretty much had to settle for word play), that I wrote Raccoons just to confirm that the muse hadn't been offended.

Frankly, I'm surprised that, after the initial burst, there weren't very many more haikus submitted. Maybe the effortlessness of Tim's early contributions scared people off.

Hi,

I copied your haiku from the Pirate Haiku blog comments to the Wiki.

I hope you don't mind.

Thank you, Kris! It made captivating watching.

You have an admirable (and enviable) library on tea, and it deserves due honors. As I also appreciate calligraphy and origami, I could not fail to add you. :) Altogether, it's a unique, beautifully focused collection.

With my best wishes - and hoping to share more tea books with you, soon -

Julie
