Pudding River flows
smooth chocolate milk through fields
nurtures the farmland

Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #84 Milk&Smooth
As a child I loved that there was a river in our valley named the Pudding River. It was easy to see why it was given that name. It meanders through the farmland of the Willamette Valley in Oregon looking very much like chocolate pudding in the summer. With the higher water tables of winter, it resembles chocolate milk! I'm linking my haiku about the river to Ronovan Writes #Weekly #Haiku #Poetry Prompt #Challenge #84 Milk&Smooth, a weekly blog hop.

ReplyDeletehow did you make that muddy river sound so sensual, great haiku
ReplyDeleteWho can resist chocolate, right?
DeleteThat's a funny name for a river. I enjoyed your Haiku about it very much.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it was aptly named by some very hungry settlers in the early days. I really should try to find the history of how this river was named.
DeleteI could eat my way through a chocolate pudding field... I have a spoon and a van... :)
ReplyDeleteI think you would have a lot of people joining you. I'd be there for sure.
DeleteA lovely haiku. Love the name of that river.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Maybe it was named after Mr. or Mrs. Pudding, or for the pudding that the hungry settlers were missing.
DeleteLovely haiku and picture.
