poppiespoppies

Before we start this week’s poll, a word about next week’s: coming up next Saturday, a Haiku Challenge poll hosted by Miss Kitty V. Pick a perfume, any perfume, write a haiku about it. We’ll be using the simplified English form — your haiku should have three lines, the first line with five syllables, the second line with seven syllables and the third line with five syllables. You can put the perfume name in the title if that makes it easier, and at any rate, don’t stress over the rules…

By general request. A couple notes before the poll: the damage poll is coming up on Tuesday oops, make that Thursday (we’re a little late!) so start tallying up those receipts. And next weekend (either Friday or Saturday), we’ll try out a grab bag poll as suggested by reader dollydagger — put your “waiting to be tested” samples in a basket, select one at random, tell us what you think of it.

And the open thread: talk about anything you like — the perfume you’re wearing today, your brand spanking new iPAD (go ahead, make me jealous), the last perfume a stranger complimented you on, whatever.
