While the cat’s away (Goff) the mice will play ( Yvette from Priorhouse Blog and Cindy from The Unique Times (mmmmuah).
I got this randomly from Yvette and I always love spontaneous fun, so I thought why not post a free form “Haiku”. As you may or may not notice, we generally follow the traditional rules of 1st line being 5 syllables, the 2nd line, 7 syllables and the 3rd line, 5 syllables but since since the master Haiku partner is on is on a hiatus, I thought heck, why not take poetic license. Besides, this might make him come back faster. We miss you Goff!
What is emojiku?
The emojiku came about by Cindy Georgakas and Goff James playing emoji tennis in the WP comments box. It was a natural step to take it one stage further and develop from being just a fleeting form of discourse into something more poetically constructive.
An emojiku is a hybrid poetic form, and is similar in format to a haiku / senryū or haiga.
In the case of an emojiku the source image is an emoji. The emojiku is made up of three different emoji. Each emoji being the inspiration for one line of the short poem.
The process of creating an emojiku begins by a blogger sending three different emoji to a fellow blogger.
The second blogger responds by writing their emojiku and forwarding it back to the original blogger; who, in turn responds by writing a counterpoint emojiku using the same emoji images.

It’s finally time to announce the winner of the book giveaway that I announced a little while ago!
Thanks to all of you for playing along to win the book. This number one best seller, Wounds I Healed: Poetry of Strong Woman on Amazon is getting rave reviews and written up in publications and I’m honored to be part of it. Congratulations to Daphny for winning the book giveaway, Daphny gave a resounding and compelling reason why she should win the book and never misses a social media post or comment on my blog. I really hope you love it as much as I did Daphny!
Have a wonderful Fri-Yay and weekending! I’d love to tell you we’re all moved in but well, we’re working on it. Seems to be the story of our lives.
Which part do you think is true?
- No workers showed up on Wed until 7 p.m. -11:00 p.m.
- The quartzite looks gorgeous
- The medicine cabinets are off center of the sink
- We don’t have electrical outlets working
- The plumber is scheduled to instal the toilet and fixtures today but they forgot to order the water heater. OOPS!
If you guessed all of the above..You are right!
Lord give me strength.
So we just stayed in bed a little longer today because it’s Fri-Yay and there’s no one better to snuggle with than Ollie!
Love and Blessings,
💖
Cindy and Ollie

Thanks much Joanna.. End is in sight.. just a test in patience.. you know. Isn’t she though!! 💖💖
How fun. No creativity flowing here today, sorry.
Thanks VJ. just seeing you is a boon in my day.,. thanks! 💖 take good care!
😘
Happy fun Friyayyy, Cindy. Love the emojiku collaboration, just wonderful. Ollie is soooo adorable, Cindy. I guess I just LOVE all of your pets since hunter is so cute too. Thanks for sharing these wonderful pics.💕💕💕
Happy Fri-Yay to you too Grace!!! They are always fun to share, thanks so. Oh I know isn’t she something. It’s hard to get up with her… she’s such a snuggle bunny. Thanks so much!
💖
💕🥰💕

Here I was reading down your list, Cindy, thinking yes, yes, yes and then I came to “Forgive your contractor (fill in the blank for yourself) for he knows not what he does. 😝😂” LOL.
Ha hahahaha Curt! Too funny. I couldn’t resist. Can’t wait to hear your meanderings now. 💖💖💖
Haha, I forgive my contractor that is hysterical.
😂😂 Glad you liked that.. I couldn’t resist!
💖 I mean since we were going off board a bitm I thought… why not. 😂
My husband was not happy because our contractor started our counters 10 days early and called me the night before. My husband told me I should be glad because contractors are never early. My dining room looked like a clip from the Hoarders show. All of my cabinets content were piled in the dining room. It is funny now, not then.
Oh the things we live through. I think it’s like childbirth.. Thank god we forget., 😂😂 Yies!
That is so true
Surely, I was made to believe that 🙏 means high-five.
But anyways, nice work.
👋👋Maybe this is better.. ha! Thanks so much!
🙏
😊
Thanks too 🙏😊
💖🙏🌟
💖
Fun poem Cindy! I hope your bathroom gets in full working condition soon. Have a lovely weekend
Thanks Sadje! guts are in so there’s that. You do the same, thanks a lot!
💖💖
Take care.
This is such a fun idea, Cindy. I can’t believe your builders arrived at 7pm. That is so strange.
Thanks Robbie! I know crazy right?!!
I guessed right. Sorry your sinks are not synced! Ollie acts just like smuttier Butter. He loves to cuddle any time, but especially in the early morning hours. Once he woke me by putting his paw on my closed eye. That was unnerving but sometimes I don’t even know he’s there.
😂😂😂 You were right. I know that was like par for the course.. at least it’s just a med cab fix and not the sink. aren’t we lucky to have those snugglers. Hahahaha. I get that too! 💖
❤️❤️❤️
💖
Ollie looks like he’s ready to dive into reading Gabriela’s book. Good luck with your home project. 🛁 Happy Friday!
She does alright Mary.
Thanks a lot! We’re getting there! Have a great Friday as well!
💖
Oops, sorry to call Ollie a “he.” ☺
well it was Olive cuz she had 3 black dots on her head that disappeared as she turned 2. They call her Olivia at the vet. I trained her by the bell to come in and scream. “Ollie , Ollie oxen free and she comes.. 😂 Ollie is a boys name so you were right on. 💖
💕
Wow. This is simply fabulous. I love it. Thank you so much, dear Cindy.
Today I learned something new from you. Emojiku. 🥰🥰🥰
Oh thanks so much Aparna! Glad you like it and thank you so much!
Oh good.. yes they’re rather fun!
💖
Cindy, I don’t have access to creative emojis on my PC or I’d love to play along. Very cool on the book giveaway. It is a potent volume of work, to be savored page by page. So sorry about the construction snafus! Hoping each one smooths itself out to your satisfaction.
p.s. that image of Chihuly glass is lovely!
If you ever want you can tell me which one to add or I can add them for you or you can trust me to add if you want.
It really is and I’m still reading a little bit at a time. Thank you for your wishes and I do to!!
💖💖💖
I’ll let you know, Cindy, thank you 🙂
A wonderful poem. Well done and well penned to you and Yvonne! Love the line to “forgive the contractor….et al” wise indeed. We forgive for our own heart’s joy.
Congratulations on the progress with your lovely home. You are indeed blessed. Here’s hoping that water heater arrives and a decent hour (not 7pm)😊
P.S Ollie looks pretty chill..🐈
Thank you so much Suzette!!! So much appreciated. It’s always fun to play with Yvette! Hahaha.. and you are so right my friend.. he feels pretty bad with all the foul ups but now agrees I’m actually the decorator and the foreman on the job. He gives me full reign now when I correct the guys on site. 😂
I am blessed for sure. Let’s see.. I actually am thrilled at any hour they come as long as they are working.. haha 💖💖 Ollie is the best and yes, sooo chill! 💖💖
You are most welcome Cindy. Blessings. Cheers. Happy homemaking💖
Beautiful content

Hahahahaah that’s funny Scott. I left my husband in charge and got out of dodge. Let’s see how it goes.. 🌹
I loved the contractor part the most, it was epic. 🤣
The first thing I did when I saw the winner of give away was scroll down to see who won and I did yayyyyyyyyy I was jumping with joy, can’t wait to get my hands on it. Thank you so much Cindy, I promise to treasure and cherish it with all my heart. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Ahh it all sounds so frustrating, sending you all the love and hugs. 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
How couldn’t I just add that in. I’m not one to filter things… hahahahaaha.
Oh that’s thrilling Daphny… I’m so glad and thank you for all of your answers and support. YOU are gonna LOVE it!!!!
Awww.. I’ll even sign it… lol. Email me your address when you get a chance. 💖💖

Too many problems with house….I like your emojiku poems. Always creative
Just when I think we’re out of the woods… 😱🤷♀️ Thank you very much. They’re always fun!
💖
Wow beautiful graphics 🙏🙏🙏
i so agree… 🙏
I love this. I love the poem. I love it when writers go outside conventions to produce something I find original and true to themselves.
Thank you so much Benjamin~ I’m so thrilled you like it… thank you so much for you kind message and appreciating the unconventional. I’m with you . Have a great weekend!

Thank you KK. I’m trying today.. it actually got pretty gnarly yesterday but today is a new day!!! I appreciate your wishes. You have a good one as well!
💖🙏🙏🙏
You’re welcome, Cindy, always 💖💐🙏
Oh Cindy, you do have your hands full don’t you. At least Ollie is there. 🙂
I so do and she always is which is nice.. sitting right here and says meow.. xo 💖
We have one that’s been coming round. She sleeps on a an old remnant of wood near the construction site behind our house. It’s sad to me, but she’s completely wild and seems like she has no problem feeding herself. I’ve been supplying her water, in these 100 degree temps. I don’t know how else she’d survive.
ohhhh that is sad but she may in time come around to you.. my feral is my love and sleeps with me too now.. wow that’s brutally hot! 💖
Really? That’s so cool… yeah, she’s very skittish, so I’ve been calling her that. 110 today! ☀️
of it took 4 ever cuz hunter chased all 4 ferals away. and then I trained and got Ollie and mya, who died, not to eat them which took forever. And then one day on the fateful halloween night after she was gone for 1 year, I saw her!!! she was down the block and i went and fed her every a.m. and p.m. for 3 months and on Jan 1st i closed the door on the carrier i would get her to go in to eat and she was terrified at first. she stayed in the bathroom and then opened the door to my kids bedroom.. (they were gone )and slept with her every night for 3 mo. sloooooowly introduced her to Star and hunter and then 6 months later, i let her out…terrified.. she comes to a bell and comes in every night. she is soooo sweet and sooo happy and i can hug her etc. awww that’s sweet of you.. i bet she’s thrilled.. oh bloody hot i’ll say! 💖
Wow Cindy, that’s a whole lot of effort. Lol… You kindhearted animal whisperer you… 😉
We’re renting and can’t have pets, so I’m trying to enjoy her from afar. She brought me a dead dragonfly this morning. Hubby said it’ll be mice and squirrels next. And oh Lord I hope not! Lol… 🤣
I know.. I actually got them originally for the rats and H loved to chaser them.. i had to feed them well to keep them around and they would come to the bell. Then I fell in love and was sooooo sad when they left.
so yeah now i am the animal whisperer. ha.
oh my no you cannot have an indoor cat then but you will have fun with all the critters.. ha💖😎
And do you still have all the exotic animals next door? I think they’re all just drawn straight to you. 😉🦓 🐪 🐈⬛
I haven’t seen them but they’re there. they just moved them 💐I do miss them tho.. hahaha
Awwwww, wonderful!
Thanks so much!!💖
You’re welcome.
💖
A lovely poem and post. I’m so happy to learn that Daphny won the book. Fun! Happy weekend, my dear. 💖
Thanks Jef! I know me too..she is such an amazing human and begged borrowed and near stole it.. 😂 Teasing Daph.
Thanks a lot Jeff, i need it and you too!
💖💖😎
You’re welcome, Cindy. Always! Haha. 😂 Thank you! 💖💖
💖💖😎😎🙏
Nice one!
Thanks so much!! 💖
ugh… those ongoing issues are such a pain in the tush! so sorry, Cindy!
💗💗💗✨✨✨
💖💖
Loved the emojiku and congratulations to Daphny!
Thanks Pooja! Yes, excited for her! 💖💖
Hang in there… there is light at the end of your tunnel. Great poem… love the line about not holding grudges against your contractor! :>)
Great post Cindy. Loved the emojiku. Trust all the the work will be sorted soon. Stay Smiling.
Such a fun concept! Lovely emojiku, Cindy! ❤
Glad the quartzite is awesome –
And sorry for the other little things and it sounds like you have a great attitude
And love how you added this to the emojiku
Forgive your contractor (fill in the blank for yourself) for he knows not what he does.
!
Yes meeee too. Now let’s just hope they didn’t drill an extra hole in it!! I’m trying but it’s waning.. 🤷♀️😱💖 Thanks!
I couldn’t resist this line. Thanks so much for playing!
💖💖
☀️😊🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙
Two more notes
–
1) if you link a post (and not the main blog) I would get a “ping”
But I would have dropped by to catch up and would have found this
2) I realize I didn’t follow the emojiku “suggested format” and so thanks for embracing my poem anyway!
For some reason I just thought it was a bit more free verse but with chosen emoji
Meat time I will try the suggested format
oh I’ll remember that next time.. that makes sense and I get it… that’s a boon.
NVM about not following it.. I’m a free form girl.
I like to just have fun with them but when he’s here I follow the strict format. 💖
Thanks for playing! I loved your poem!!!
I hope he is enjoying his break – and speaking of breaks – do you ever take any?
Fantastic.
A fill of beautiful truths. 😇
Thank you very much! 💖
You are welcome Cindy. XOXO
💖💖
Hi 👋 how are you? Lovely post. How are the renovations going?
