Its a style borrowed from this site, though not in its purest form as sonera would work better maybe by using a grammatical colon after the first statement? I love putting different ideas together and seeing what transpires! Chocolate fingers came from a food poetry competition; title of Snack-It! Wind Chinese came from my garden which always continues to inspire. So long as people enjoy reading them, I Will endeavour to find a few more!

I have not heard of "Broken Monoku" as per se, but I see that Carolyn has referenced it as a form of Haiku? Interesting and very tempting, too!

So much said in just a few words. I love them all and my favorites are the ones that have twigs playing "cat's cradle," and the chocolate fingers. My fingers and tummy are always happy when I indulge. Well done! <br />Best wishes, <br />Carolyn Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955381918758611801noreply@blogger.com
