Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

[amuse]

Juice, dripping money
Harvesting Scrooge's trees yields
Such delightful fruits

(:sick:, lol)

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Such delightful fruits,
From such delightful labour;
Bless their wailing heads.

[Riesa]

Bless their wailing heads,
Rock their sobbing bodies, heal
Them at three a.m.

[Weeping Willow]

Them at three a.m
Morning will Come to all soon
And i shall be gone

[chmpman]

And I shall be gone
Away to work the machine
Does this pay fulfill?

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Does this pay fulfill,
The needs I have, my longings?
Or just pay the bills?

[samercury]

Or just pay the bills?
Pick up the tab after IT
We're sure having fun

[Virgil]

We're sure having fun
Don't tell the wicked teacher
She'll put an end here.

[samercury]

She'll put an end here.
Give you an essay, a test
"I'm sure you'll do well"

[Virgil]

"I'm sure you'll do well"
Can you count on it always?
Not in the summer.

[ktd222]

Not in the summer,
but all year do I love you,
'Let me count the ways...'

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Let me count the ways,
To drag back love from anger;
Not one without tears.

[Riesa]

Nice.

Not one without tears;
No one drudging past sorrow
Has gone by dry eyed.

[samercury]

Has gone by dry eyed
Why you keep on pretending
Is a mystery

[Riesa]

Is a mystery;
Like a full-fledged Nancy Drew:
My favorite kind.

[Virgil]

Has gone by dry eyed
Why you keep on pretending
Is a mystery
Very nice, Same.

My favorite kind
Cappuccino ice cream, oh
With chocolate bits

[samercury]

Thanks

With chocolate bits
Like them, life's precious moments
Are hard to obtain

[Riesa]

Are hard to obtain;
Granite encrusted Ruby;
A Mother's rare peace.

[Virgil]

A mother's rare peace
comes dripping slow; listen; hush;
The kids are asleep.

[RobinHood3000]

Heroes fight on to
Rescue, determination
Gilding their duty.

[Riesa]

'comes dripping slow; listen; hush;'--that's so soothing.

The kids are asleep
In limp camaraderie
Possessing such dreams

[Riesa]

Sorry, Robin.
Just make sure you follow the last line of the last Haiku. :)

Possessing such dreams
Psychic rudiments contend;
Gilding their duty.

[ktd222]

Gilding their duty.
No life before one duty:
obligatory.

[Hazel-Ra]

obligatory
work sure bore the pants off me
when ends the torture?!

[Nisha]

When ends the torture?!
Aware of the unknown there
taunting you to seek..

[Riesa]

Taunting you to seek;
Ripping away when you grasp;
Love's crooked torment.

[Hazel-Ra]

Love's crooked torment
men need ten min after sex
women need more now!

[Riesa]

Women need more now,
More yesterday and next week.
Mists of future bleak.

[Hazel-Ra]

Hey Reisa :)

Mists of future bleak
Depths of the human soul cry
Endless line of pain

[Riesa]

Hi, Hazel-Ra. Love your user name even more now, great book.
Nice Haiku, too. :)

Endless line of pain
Shifting, circling, rise and fall
Ragged breath sustains life.

[chmpman]

Ragged breath sustains life
A cold dry wind through bare limbs
Creation on pause.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Love's crooked torment
men need ten min after sex
women need more now!
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Why not get a second man for afters? A lot of us aren't too exclusive! :nod:

Creation on pause;
Awaiting a new species,
With chocolate flesh!

[Riesa]

With chocolate flesh
I'm melting.. I can't recall
With this toffee brain.

[Hazel-Ra]

With this toffee brain
I attempt to get going
Morning blues again

[Hazel-Ra]

p.s. Thanks Reisa :)

[dcdavi]

[nickelsilver]

Levies Bourbon Street
It's bourbon and water, now
City on the rocks

[Aurora Ariel]

City on the rocks
Dark waves are crashing closer
Sunlight sinks below.

[atiguhya padma]

Sunlight sinks below
The surface, distorted warmth
Stretched underworld

[Oceallaigh]

A Demon of Night
He is keeper of the Light
By the name of Rafe

Éabha Ashling Flamme
She is the vison of Flame
The Eve in his dreams

[Weeping Willow]

The Eve in his dreams
Is The Garden of Edan
A dream for us all

[Xamonas Chegwe]

A dream for us all;
It's going to get crowded,
In the Turkish baths!

[Weeping Willow]

In the Turkish baths!
There lived a king Old and Wise
From the years bathing!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

From the years bathing,
My skin is soft and supple;
My nails have dissolved.

[chmpman]

My nails have disolved
But hidden fangs grow sharper;
In embrace I strike.

[Riesa]

In emrace I strike
An empress ruling countries
With sweet violence.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

With sweet violence,
I pluck the rose from the bough;
Her thorns bite me back.

[Virgil]

Her thorns bite me back
A scent that intoxicates.
Sweet, hurtful torment.

[Riesa]

Sweet, hurtful torment
This fiery constrainment
Enthralls and crumbles.

[RobinHood3000]

Enthralls and crumbles
Each empire does in turn
For man is no god.

[Virgil]

Enthralls and crumbles
Roman empire falls to dust
Trajan's arch soiled

edit: Hey Robin, we were thinking along the same lines.

[RobinHood3000]

Great minds, eh?

[Weeping Willow]

Sorry,, virg' but i prefer Robin's line... :) hope you don't mind ... :blush:..

For man is no god
The power of creation
Is not ours to rule

[Nisha]

Is not ours to rule
Fate,being the prince of god
mocks men's cursed laments.

Sad tht I cnt participate more often... :( :bawling:

[Riesa]

Mocks men's cursed laments;
Dousing ambition towards
Perfection with rain.

[Hazel-Ra]

Perfection with rain.
Darkness and wind guide it's path
Falling from the sky

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Falling from the sky,
Amphibian rain descends;
A shower of frogs.

[Hazel-Ra]

A shower of frogs
a bath of mud-soaked penguins
madness delights me

[Riesa]

Madness delights me!
I'll take cinnamon sugar
On my howling rage.

[atiguhya padma]

On my howling rage
Streaks across your face beneath
This full pallid moon

[Riesa]

This full pallid moon
Rising so painstakingly
Slow above our hill.

[Hazel-Ra]

Slow above our hill
The silent walk wearily
Never finding home

[Riesa]

Never finding home;
Immersing ourselves in this
Place, perhaps here.

[Hazel-Ra]

Place, perhaps here
your thoughts, jokes, opinions
for other's input

[Riesa]

For other's input
Is the frame that holds us up
When in pain we doubt.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

When in pain we doubt,
Our convictions and beliefs;
It's only human.

[Hazel-Ra]

It's only human
to want something that cannot
be had for good reason

[Riesa]

Be had for good reason;
Suspend reasoning between
Vagrants and true need.

[Virgil]

Vagrants and true need
hat held out for commission
cold gloomy winter

[Riesa]

Cold gloomy winter
Trudging steps through muck ridden
Streets, Feel the air, friend.

[Weeping Willow]

Streets, Feel the air, friend
Can you smell, it's gonna snow
Snow is magical

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Snow is magical,
Especially the warm type;
Shame it's very rare.

[Weeping Willow]

Shame it's very rare
Yet that what make it's beauty
So precious to us

[Virgil]

So precious to us
the little child with mucus
running down her nose.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Running down her nose,
I'm jumping from lip to lip;
She has a big face.

[Hazel-Ra]

She has a big face.
She has a big ev'rything
In fact she's just big

[Virgil]

In fact she's just big;
That elephant of mine, Ra
You should see her poop.

[Weeping Willow]

You should see her poop
In a spark of a moment
It can kill your nose

[RobinHood3000]

It can kill your nose
The immortal stench of the
Ebbing tide, painful.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Ebbing tide, painful
Jellyfish under my foot,
I hate the seaside!

[Riesa]

I hate the seaside!
Why stand by and look; could be
Snorkeling instead.

[chmpman]

Snorkeling instead,
Absorbed in pretty neon
While a shadow gains.

[Virgil]

while a shadow gains
the sun slides away to hide
beneath the domain

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Beneath the domain,
Of the king of Atlantis,
Lies the worlds last gnome.

[Scheherazade]

Lies the world's last gnome,
Hardly ever tells the truth!
Can't trust even him.

[Riesa]

Can't trust even him;
He sends evil sprites with claws
To disturb my dreams.

[RobinHood3000]

To disturb my dreams
Requires an alarm that
Can play William Tell.

[Riesa]

Can play William Tell:
But I don't advise it for
Obvious reasons!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Obvious reasons,
To believe the obvious,
Obvious to all?

[Scheherazade]

Obvious to all
It should be but none could see
The charade goes on.

[Petrarch's Love]

The charade goes on
While the shadows of this world
Live what's real and best.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Live what's real and best;
Drain the cup of life, and then,
Have another cup.

[samercury]

Nice

Have another cup.
Worry not about what's next
Enjoy the moment

[Petrarch's Love]

Enjoy the moment.
Drink in the liquor's warm glow.
Then sing. Loudly sing!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Then sing. Loudly sing;
Elton your heart out baby,
And don't care who hears!

[samercury]

And don't care who hears
'Cause they won't stay here for long.
Thanks for listening

It is today, right?
Anniversary has passed...
I'm in biiiiig trouble.

[Hazel-Ra]

I'm in biiiiig trouble.
Should never have hit on the
president of spain

[Riesa]

President of Spain
Lifts his hand and stills the wind.
Hush, it's quiet time.

[amuse]

hush it's quiet time
translate my latin while i
take your nap and snack

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Take your nap and snack,
While you are still able to;
Hard times are ahead.

[Riesa]

Hard times are ahead;
Life is not always pony
Rides in May sunshine.

[Petrarch's Love]

Rides in May sunshine
Though frost glazes the window
What power in dreams!

[Theshizznigg]

Rise, young lovers hearts do break,
In rain does the quiver ache,
Arrow pierced him through and through,
His heart is shattered by its shaft.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Rise, young lovers hearts do break,
In rain does the quiver ache,
Arrow pierced him through and through,
His heart is shattered by its shaft.

Not a haiku, and the first line isn't the last line of the poem before. Apart from that, not bad. I suggest you read the first post in this thread and try again. :D

[chmpman]

What power in dreams!
Midgets astride Pegasus;
Praise the name Wonder!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Praise the name Wonder;
Eyes that have no need to see,
Stevie's heart does that.

[Riesa]

Stevie's heart does that;
I take myself through changes
Listening to him.

'Don't you worry 'bout a thing' a little borrowed from this great song.

[Outlander]

Listening to him
Robinhood in trouble now?
Anniversary!

[Riesa]

Anniversary;
Roses, wine and some mayhem
--Cinco de Mayo.

[Virgil]

Cinco de mayo
with margaritas with salt;
Tequila, hooray.

[Riesa]

that hooray looks a little limp; not a big fan of Tequila?

Tequila, hooray!
Sipped when chilled; leisurely pace
Ensures enjoyment.

[Virgil]

that hooray looks a little limp; not a big fan of Tequila?

Actually there are two stories with tequila and me:
(1) I remember being around 20 or 22 something like that, and an old friend and I sat on his stoop (we grew up in Brooklyn) one night and drank tequila (I don't remember how much) but I got drunk, vomited, and never could take the taste of unmixed tequila again.
(2) I was on a business trip around 10-12 years ago to a place in eastern Washington State, which is real cowboy country. We went out to a cowboy bar the first night with my boss at that time and the fellow we were visiting, a real cowboy, wears cowboy boots and hat with shirt and tie, has horses, shoes them himself, on his little ranch. Obviously this was a drinking kind of place, and I was handling it very well, I was probably drinking something that I was accostumed to. They were drinking tequila, and towards the end they each bought shots of Cuevo Gold, the extra high proof, whatever that is. And they insisted I join them. I drank both. I didn't shove them down like they did, but I finished them, and I guess the tequila at that proof level didn't taste quite as bad. I was fine that night, went back to the room, was not drunk. But I felt what I can only call a physical memory recall to that Brooklyn experience with my friend. My gut had sort of convulsions, with the terrible tequila taste coming up on me. But the night passed, and the next morning the three of us were in the cowboy's office reviewing design drawings. I was fine all morning, but all of a sudden, coming from no where, I felt that convulsion again, and I sat back, energy just draining out of me. I felt the taste come up again and my stomach bubbling. I said, "Ray, I got to go to the bathroom; I think I'm going to lose it." He later said I had turned pale as a ghost. He walked me to the bathroom in his building. As we were walking, it was getting worst, almost like your blood pressure dropping. All of a sudden I couldn't hold it any more. But, thank heavens we were passing an empty office with a waste paper basket right by the door. With a stroke of improvised necessity I stepped into the room, picked up the pail, and let it out into it. And just like that, it was over; I felt great. After rinsing my mouth out, we went back to work and had a great laugh over it. We all still bring it up, and it is still a point of jokes between the three of us.

[Virgil]

Ensures enjoyment?
It doesn't. Not tequila.
Very bad memories.

[Riesa]

Two stories are better than none.

Very bad memories:
Half digested Lamb Kurma
After Curry Row.

[Virgil]

Not really. If God gave me the chance to do them over, I would pass.

After curry row
We reach the underground Taj,
And bring our own beer.

[Riesa]

ha. Therein lies the crux of life.

And bring our own beer!?
What kind of hokey party
Are you putting on?

[RobinHood3000]

Are you putting on
That stupid fedora, sir?
Archaeologists...

[atiguhya padma]

Archaeologists,
And palaeontologists
Feel it in their bones

[Hazel-Ra]

Feel it in their bones
When the winds of time change and
our world is altered

[Riesa]

Our world is altered
With a nice simple smile
And a cheery hello.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

And a cheery hello,
Falls flat from my drying lips;
I see her with him!

[RobinHood3000]

I see her with him!
I charge forward, sword in hand
Honor and vengeance...

[chmpman]

I see her with him.
Life empties and sinks;
A balloon let loose.

[Riesa]

A balloon let loose
Can be brought down; remember
To aim for the heart.

[Petrarch's Love]

To aim for the heart
And yet to miss your target
Is a great sadness.

[RobinHood3000]

Is a great sadness
Really all that terrible?
The answer: Indeed.

[Riesa]

The answer indeed
Comes from within; a deep breath
Settles upsets down.

[Hazel-Ra]

Settles upsets down.
Peptobismol cures all ills
At least the box claims

[Riesa]

At least the box claims
You will be rich; tall, younger,
Smart; So good-lookin'!

[atiguhya padma]

Smart; So good-lookin'
Unusually bright too
Must be something wrong!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Must be something wrong,
Wtih my splelcehcker, thmup it!
There, it's a lot better!

[chmpman]

Yet again I'm too slow.

"There, it's a lot better,"
Mother coos into child's ear;
Bike in hand he mounts.

[samercury]

Bike in hand he mounts
Rides off to the forgotten
Midnight memories

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Midnight memories;
I lie there trying to sleep,
but her face won't leave.

[chmpman]

But her face won't leave;
Little urchin girl at my
Window in the cold.

[Riesa]

Window in the cold,
Scraping frost, late once again;
Hurry up, Hurry!

[nickelsilver]

Hurry up, hurry!
School bus is coming, slowpoke!
Ugh!! Little sisters . . .

[amuse]

ugh!! Little sisters...
imps twittering sans respite
muzzle or hug them?

[samercury]

oops!.....

[samercury]

Muzzle or hug them?
Why do ask that question-
Easy choice to make

[Petrarch's Love]

Easy choice to make
So I'll accept that ring now
And say to him "Yes!"

[Riesa]

And say to him "yes"
Breathing room diminishes
Restricting air flow.

[atiguhya padma]

Restricting air flow
Takes you further, higher,
Deeper, so they say.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Deeper, so they say,
The city of Atlantis,
Shrouded in seaweed.

[Riesa]

oh,nice.

Shrouded in seaweed,
Man overboard surfaces
Miles from his boat.

not so nice.

[Virgil]

Miles from his boat
He floats away toward the shore
Until the shark bites.

[Riesa]

Until the shark bites;
I shall linger; adoring
Stars, and breathing air.

[Virgil]

Stars and breathing air.
Hollywood actors think they
own it all. Sorry.

[Riesa]

Own it all? Sorry,
Impossible. Though desire
Brings golden daydreams.

[Hazel-Ra]

Brings golden daydreams
Like those days in the height of
summer... beautiful days

[Petrarch's Love]

Summer...beautiful days
When I did not live in this
Icy cold climate

[Hazel-Ra]

Icy cold climate
Ain't it a son of a *beep*
When will spring be here???

[Riesa]

When will spring be here?
While riding; I saw cheeky
Wildflowers peeking.

[Hazel-Ra]

Wildflowers peeking
through their petals at the trees
waving in the wind

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Waving in the wind;
Black flags on skeletons of,
broken umbrellas.

[chmpman]

Broken umbrellas;
Shelter from the elements
Downtrodden by man.

[Petrarch's Love]

Downtrodden by man
But still hoped for by angels
He raises his head.

[Hazel-Ra]

He raises his head
Up to the sky with a sense
Of impending doom

[Riesa]

Of impending doom,
I will toss some thoughts about,
Depends on my mood.

[Petrarch's Love]

Depends on my mood
Whether I will dance and sing
Or rest quietly

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Or rest quietly,
If you like; It won't matter,
We will still find you.

[RobinHood3000]

We will still find you,
Danger awaits wherever
You can seek to hide

[samercury]

:nod:

You can seek to hide
Away from the real world
Deluding yourself

[Riesa]

Deluding yourself:
Chasing windmills, or hunting
Snipe, it's amusing!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Snipe, it's amusing;
Picking off people from the,
Top of tall buildings!

Thanks for the set up Riesa. ;)

[Riesa]

Anything for you, Xamonas. ;)

Top of tall buildings
Reflecting sun, mirrored walls
Slick, a super slide.

[Virgil]

Brings golden daydreams
Like those days in the height of
summer... beautiful days
That's really good one.


Slick, a super slide
We haven't won a game since,
Since the cookoo croaked.

[RobinHood3000]

Since the cookoo croaked
We haven't had anyone
To cookoo our meals

[Riesa]

To cookoo our meals
We have to first wahshaw the
Veggetablelas.

[Virgil]

Veggetablelas
in the steamerabeles
La, la, la, di, da

That was hard.

[RobinHood3000]

La, la, la, di, da,
I don't give a rat's behind
About anything.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

About anything,
You have your own opinion;
And I the right one!

[samercury]

And I the right one!
Now- see how modest I am.
You agree, don't you?

[Virgil]

You agree, don't you?
No I don't. I dispute it.
Can't we get along?

[RobinHood3000]

Can't we get along?
Bah! Humbug...we can never
Learn to live in peace.

[dcdavi]

learn to live in peace.
it beats the alernative--
living in pieces

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Living in pieces,
makes it hard to commune with,
One's feminine side.

[chmpman]

One's feminine side
As a wise man once told me
Can be one's Greek side.

[Virgil]

I have no idea what that means and I'm not going to ask.

Can be one's greek side
the salad with the olives
add some feta, too

[RobinHood3000]

Add some feta, too.
Thatta way, it will go well
With-a my hands-a.

[Riesa]

With-a my hands-a
Smashing plates. "Yasas!" explode
Ripened with Anise.

[Virgil]

Ripened with Anise
I ask for tomatos for
my homemade pizza

[RobinHood3000]

My homemade pizza
Say hello to the ceiling
No hand-tossed for me.

[Riesa]

No hand-tossed for me;
"It's debauched, and immoral!"
Cries the Rolling Pin.

[Petrarch's Love]

Cries the rolling pin:
"Where has all the flour gone?
The dough is sticky"

[Virgil]

Hi Petrarch. Someone needs to start a new poem for discussion in the poem of the week thread. How about you?

The dough is sticky
But wait until you taste it
Bread is a good thing.

[Riesa]

Bread is a good thing,
Torn, gravy soaked, served up with
Wine, pasta and love.

[atiguhya padma]

Wine, pasta and love
An intoxicating mix
But rather messy.

[Riesa]

But rather messy;
Skin's beauty, as well as silk,
They're easily cleaned.

[dcdavi]

they're easily cleaned;
so anal retentives can
get closer to god.

[Virgil]

Bread is a good thing,
Torn, gravy soaked, served up with
Wine, pasta and love.
Oh, I love this one.

They're easily cleaned
But they redirty again
those little devils.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

I agree Virgil. Sometimes Riesa's so good that I wonder why I bother.

Those little devils,
That get into your sock drawer;
Stealing one of each.

[Riesa]

I'm floored, stop it, you two. But you've both made my day. La la la, I feel giddy.

Stealing one of each
Of my three good hearts, Husband;
Chegwé and Virgil.

Muh!

[Virgil]

Chegwe and Virgil
Sitting on a fence; one said
Umph and the other bmph

[Xamonas Chegwe]

She air-kissed me! My turn to feel giddy. ;)

[chmpman]

Virgil: Think Odysseus sitting on a rock and weeping.

Umph and the other bmph;
Two specks colliding on Earth
But still dodging life.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

But still! Dodging life,
Is all very well my friend;
But it will catch up.

[RobinHood3000]

But it will catch up!
Said the hare's buddy, Cecil.
Bah! Tortoise is slow.

[Petrarch's Love]

Bah! Tortoise is slow
And may end up as a soup
If he's not clever.

[atiguhya padma]

If he's not clever
Brevity of language: love
Intensive evenings

[Virgil]

Intensive evenings
With night music and some wine
With kisses and hugs.

[Riesa]

With kisses and hugs,
Ease in solidarity
Mends raw misery.

[amuse]

mends raw misery
with strands of golden fibers
spun from a pure heart

[atiguhya padma]

Spun from a pure heart
The thread of man's true nature,
Emperor's new clothes

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Emperor's new clothes,
Machine washed, dried and ironed;
That must have hurt him!

[RobinHood3000]

That must have hurt him!
Said the rugby team's medic
His neck's all messed up.

[Riesa]

"His neck's all messed up."
That's okay, it's your first try.
"Play-dough is squashy."

[Virgil]

Play-dough is squashy;
try to bake it and it melts;
eat it and it hurts.

[Riesa]

Eat it and it hurts,
Go ask Evil Knievel.
Kids never listen.

[samercury]

Kids never listen.
That's what adults always say.
Do you think that's fair?

[Virgil]

Do you think that's fair,
grounding a bad teenager?
Yes, he failed english.

[Petrarch's Love]

Yes, he failed English
But that did not stop him from
Writing best sellers.

[chmpman]

Writing best sellers,
Smut to please the masses; yet
I made a living.

[Riesa]

I made a living,
I lived, I sat and waited
I left, I'm living.

[onions]

I left, I'm living.
The sun is rising at dawn
Bringing drops of dew.

[onions]

I left, I'm living.
The sun is rising at dawn
Bringing drops of dew.


I think japanese used such similies in haiku very often.

[atiguhya padma]

Bringing drops of dew
Morning proudly undoes night
Heralding the day

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Heralding the day;
Cacophony of churchbells,
And I'm working nights!

[onions]

And I'm working nights;
World is so boring and flat
In its dark colors.

[Riesa]

In its dark colors,
Velvet night dresses itself,
With stars for earrings.

[chmpman]

With stars for earings
And the moon for curving mouth,
Night's language enchants.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Night's language enchants,
The sons of Adam, that come,
To hear her tall tales.

[Riesa]

To hear her tall tales,
Drink her tropical wind, in
Cups of Pirate's gold.

[amuse]

Cups of Pirate's gold:
salty ingots flavored with
betrayal and ransom.


:eek: re: sixth syllable

[Xamonas Chegwe]

B'trayal and ransom, (Dropped a syllable)
Vengeance and infamy; a,
Pretty good night out!

[Virgil]

Pretty good night out
swigging beer and oogling girls
with the boys of youth

[Riesa]

With the boys of youth
Climbing crooked trails at dusk
Under Perseus.

[Virgil]

Under Perseus
We watched the moon cross the sky
And you in my arms.

[atiguhya padma]

And you in my arms
As Mars flickers in the sky
Feel the warmth of skin

[smilesad]

one thousand years of stomach ache,
fifteen minutes of satisfaction

[atiguhya padma]

Of satisfaction
My cat is wise beyond words
I must study him.

[Riesa]

I must study him,
Conscious that I'm the theme of
His contemplation.

[atiguhya padma]

His contemplation
Placates volcanic temper
Anger slows its pace

[white camellia]

Anger slows its pace
sightless slave of instinct but
man befooled by lore

[atiguhya padma]

Man befooled by lore
Promoting superstition
From an ancient book

[Xamonas Chegwe]

From an ancient book,
A magic potion I brewed;
It made my nose blue.

[atiguhya padma]

It made my nose blue
And then brought me to these knees
Your voice said "Tis you"

[Petrarch's Love]

Your voice said "Tis you"
And my voice replied "Tis you"
And then it was "we."

[Xamonas Chegwe]

And then it was "we";
I thought a bit and said, "mous?";
They laughed; I hate French!

[samercury]

They laughed; I hate French!
A feeling shared by many
Attending her class

[chmpman]

Attending her class
Boys were smitten and couldnt
Think to save their lives.

[Virgil]

They laughed; I hate French!
A feeling shared by many
Attending her class
:lol:

Think to save their lives
On board a sinking vessel
Water near knee high.

[Aurora Ariel]

Water near knee high
He's looking for a way out
The rafts are broken.

[Virgil]

The rafts are broken
Out with the life vests, first mate.
Try not to swallow.

[RobinHood3000]

Try not to swallow...
Why did you do that?? Now I've
Got to buy a new drill...

[Riesa]

Got to buy a new drill,
Preferably Makita,
My old one is junk.

[RobinHood3000]

My old one is junk
Since I crashed into a cliff
Hanggliders aren't cheap
