The sun had not crossed the horizon when we arrived at the beach this morning.

The Kru photographer generously stayed on shore in order to capture this lovely photo, as we headed south around the rock pile. It was a bit chilly for those of us used to the above 70 temps, but we cruised to the south sewer pipe, with a salute to the Love rock.



Kahuna is sponsoring a Kru Haiku contest. (hey! that rhymes!... or... haikru??) As of course you know, "Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.

Here is Kahuna's composition to get us started:

Cold lake slaps me good,
But sun’s there, might as well swim
Here, love shack and back


Here's my submission:
Water quality
May be green, red, or yellow
We swim regardless.

Add your haikru to the comments. The winner will receive a free shot of Killepitsch and have their Lake Michigan swimming dues waived for one month.

Ooo, Renee, that's awesome.

Anybody want to swim earlier on Monday?

Mr. Bubble said...

I'm getting lava pants
Because all the guys have them
All Klode Kru guys

This is for real. I just ordered them last night

Badass Knuckleheads
Whose only goal is Mud Slide
Proud to call you friends

Magic Mike said...

Mudslide, birches, sewerpipe:
Its rarely roastin’.
Still, the lady lures us in.

Showgirl said...

Who says we can't do more than one haikru?

Damn Harley riders...
Sucked the heat out of the lake.
You noisy bastards.

Mr. Bubble said...

Patriarch said...

Crystal clear. Gliding
O’re rippled sun dappled sand.
Swimming reverie.
