lust's limber pillars
temples rising in deserts
stumps of stubbled pork

About Thigh-ku
Thigh-ku was invented in Montana, as a way for hearty northern women to herald the impending approach of spring.
After regulating their body temperatures through the harsh winter months by eating excessive quantities of snack crackers, they dreaded those first warm days, when the protective sheath of their thermal underwear must give way to more revealing attire.
In order to face this inevitability with grace, they would compose and share light verse in celebration of their congealed appendages.
Some even made a tradition of gathering at coffee houses on the first of April to recite thigh-ku and drown their vernal regrets in tea and chocolate.
Since its inception, this cathartic verse form has branched out to include expressions by men, and even by thin people who live in southern climes.
This blog is dedicated to the appreciation and dissemination of thigh-ku expression.
