Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

[mazHur]

learn to compromise
let not yourself disappear
just enter my eyes!

[dramasnot6]

Just enter my eyes
Steal the beating heart within
I offer it all

[Jane Jane]

I offer it all
at least all that I can do,
beware of traitors

[xlxlauraxlx]

Beware of traitors
who sin against our soul, for
the may never learn

[Il Penseroso]

the may never learn
only to precede, alone,
attached to nothing

[dramasnot6]

Attached to nothing
I am dust in violent wind
Dangling heartstrings

[Riesa]

the may never learn
only to precede, alone,
attached to nothing

how wonderfully clever.

dangling heartstrings
can trip you, so treat them like
weeds, pluck them away.

[Il Penseroso]

I actually couldn't think of any other way to take it.

though yours is genuinely clever, as usual :wave:

weeds, pluck them away
and brush ruby crawling foam
as you enter life.

[Il Penseroso]

god that one sucked


as you enter life
nudged ahead of what you know
remember it ends

[dramasnot6]

Remember it ends
Love is best in a moment
Afterwards, pure dust

[crazefest456]

god that one sucked

don't say that! I didn't continue from your haiku because I knew I wouldn't do justice to it, even though I was really really tempted to...I was waiting for someone talented to do that...
skip me

[Il Penseroso]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but when I said "that one sucked" I meant my own; that in my opinion I could have done better.

these are just for fun, I don't think anyone should feel pressure that their haikus will be judged harshly. the point, for me, is just to practice and exercise my creativity. it's a fun game, that should be looked at thusly.

please, don't feel that you're not good enough to post. :thumbs_up

[kiz_paws]

Thanks, Kiz. Sometimes I get in the mood to just disappear. I think singer Suzanne Vega sums up this feeling for me perfectly:


"If you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Off of the strip

In the outskirts
In the fringes
In the corner
Out of the grip" ;)
Awesome, I like it! Hope you didn't feel like I was pointing at you, I was (in a fun way) bugging you? :p


crazefest456 --don't say that! I didn't continue from your haiku because I knew I wouldn't do justice to it, even though I was really really tempted to...I was waiting for someone talented to do that...
skip me
Awww, craze, a misunderstanding! Your haiku is always fun and enjoyable to read and work from. IP is totally right -- this thread should just be a fun thread to practice our haiku skill. No one sits in judgement, and if they do, they need a life (sorry to insult but IP is right). Serious haiku can be made in another thread, the poetry section of the discussion board. OK, enough said -- to quote Bugs Bunny "and on with the show!"

Afterwards, pure dust
when all the crowds have gone home
a Boxing Day blitz

[zanna]

a Boxing Day blitz
left them tired and hungry
who would have thought that?

[mazHur]

who would have thought that?
Who'd believe you're not mine?
Your heart betrays you!

[zanna]

your heart betrays you!
can't you see, he loves you not!
he's only a friend.

[mazHur]

he's only a friend
I like him but don't love him
hope things will improve

[zanna]

hope things will improve
the say that time heals all wounds
resolves many diff's

[mazHur]

NAY, ZANNA, no abbreviations !!!

resolves many diff's
but not the one between good,
bad and the ugly !

[kiz_paws]

NAY, ZANNA, no abbreviations !!!
ummmm, maz, lighten up -- technically speaking, in the 'real' haiku world, they do not allow for contractions either (isn't, didn't, it'll, aren't, and so on) which we have all used here at one time or another... Have fun people (just stay with the 5-7-5 rhythm and its all good!) :thumbs_up


Bad and the ugly
creating unwanted scenes
lets scrap this movie :p

a short serial

man and bear coexist in
forest, under stars

[jon1jt]

Right on, and consider that some great writers who wrote haiku--e.g. Jack Kerouac's Book of Haiku---didn't even follow the 5-7-5 form because they thought it was creatively constraining.

forest, under stars
stars rest like books in bookshelves,
forest tends to love

[symphony]

forest under stars
light up their green and wait... for
the next howl to come.
....

[symphony]

too slow.

Forest tends to love.
The clouds give. We but recieve.
And recieve thereby.

[jon1jt]

And receive thereby
I mix the clouds in red wine
and declare sweetness.

[Il Penseroso]

and declare sweetness
to linger in skies, tumbling
clouds shifting when viewed

[mazHur]

speed thrills but 'grills''!

nice to see you back !

[mazHur]

clouds shifting when viewed
look like monsters hastening
to fall on some patch

[kiz_paws]

To fall on some patch
of the earth to make love on
we settled for corn :lol:

[long story...]

[crazefest456]

we settled for corn
sat on a red checkered cloth
under blistering sun

[symphony]

to fall on some patch
on a night dappled with grey
when the leaves are teal...

[symphony]

:eek: didnt see this page sorry....


under blistering sun
the honey skin of the day
is whipped with malice....

[kiz_paws]

Hi symphony! :wave: (no probs!)

Is whipped with malice
a double dose of good deeds
with no end in sight

[mazHur]

is whipped with malice
and blended with mystery
this hell of your love !

[mazHur]

oops! i didn't see a 'missile' had already been unleashed by kiz !!

with no end in sight
i kept on writing haikus
when a missile struck....

[kiz_paws]

oops! i didn't see a 'missile' had already been unleashed by kiz !! This was funny! :lol:



with no end in sight
i kept on writing haikus
when a missile struck

When a missile struck
I had some bloggarooney
but now it is dust... :D

[symphony]

when a missile struck
with blasts of sudden death, i
just watched and wondered

if wordsworth's up there
watching "what man has made of
man", if he too knew....

[symphony]

missed the missile again! :p

but now it is dust
and i sit here putting up
'pillars of success'! :p


hi by the way, kiz and maz. ;)

[mazHur]

'pillars of success'!
how many did you erect?
homo superior!

[zanna]

homo superior!
the cats scoff arrogantly
just you wait and see!

(maz, yeah, I agree with you totally. Just that sometimes you can't think of any other way to make it work! :D I got the humor, too, so I wasn't mad. :))

[mazHur]

thanks, i could figure out that from your name -that you understood humor,,,thanks to my tidbit knowledge of occult !!


just you wait and see
me jump from Eiffel Tower
and get you coffee !

[kiz_paws]

And get you coffee
or your man's head on a plate
when he makes you wait

[dramasnot6]

When he makes you wait
Moments shiver,time melts away
Seconds drip into days

[mazHur]

Seconds drip into days
and days into months and years
without you near me!

[kiz_paws]

Without you near me
my life takes a format of
but two dimensions

[dramasnot6]

Love it Kiz! :D :thumbs_up (I have to run out now, so that's all I have to say!)

[mazHur]

but two dimensions
leave no chance of survival
from arrow of love?

[kiz_paws]

[thanks, drama :)]

From arrow of love
to lifetime of drudgery
where are the roses?

[Janine]

where are the roses
from yesterday's blooming, soft
petals; silently falling

[mazHur]

petals silently
falling like the eyelids of
my love when she sleeps

[zanna]

when she goes to bed,
everyone else wakes back up!
her blasted snoring!

[kiz_paws]

Her blasted snoring
interfered with Gabriel
and his golden horn

[jon1jt]

Go Kiz!

and his golden horn,
formed a smaller wind within...
and with it rang light

[Il Penseroso]

go jon go!!

and with it rang light,
moonlight rocking, gentle waves
a glistening beat

[kiz_paws]

go IP go!!

A glistening beat
such beautiful music from
a house in the Steppes

[mazHur]

a house in the Steppes
or an igloo in the Poles
all matters is you

[Il Penseroso]

all matter is you
growing, collapse on yourself
a sun decaying

[kiz_paws]

A sun decaying
the glimmer of hope is gone
just keep up the pace

[B-Mental]

Just keep up the pace
destination happiness
Last call, tickets please.

[mazHur]

Last call, tickets please.
the show is just going to
start for the last time

[jon1jt]

Last call, tickets please
I'm Saint Jon, a wagon wheel;
call me saintly gone!

[kiz_paws]

Just keep up the pace
destination happiness
Last call, tickets please. Love it! :thumbs_up

Last call, tickets please
unicorns dance without horns
just for Mardi Gras ;)

[kiz_paws]

Last call, tickets please
I'm Saint Jon, a wagon wheel;
call me saintly gone! Yah beat me! ;) and :thumbs_up

call me saintly gone
I need an excuse for you
kissing the goblet

[B-Mental]

Uh oh did someone throw a Louisiana reference my way....?

Just for Mardi Gras
You don beaded necklaces
perhaps for barter

[kiz_paws]

Uh oh did someone throw a Louisiana reference my way....?

Just for Mardi Gras
You don beaded necklaces
perhaps for barter ha ha! :lol:

Perhaps for barter
the young lady winks her eye
and the world stands still

[jon1jt]

Did somebody say Mardi Gras?!!?
We can dance if we want to! B's got a head start though! :)

[kiz_paws]

And the world stands still
while Jon begins his dancing
hop to it papa! ;)

[TheFifthElement]

hop to it papa,
swing your baby round and round
'til her head's spinning

[kiz_paws]

'til her head's spinning
you speak rings around your girl
better get it right!

[Riesa]

Hi Kiz.

Better get it right,
left is just NOT done these days,
according to some.

[mazHur]

according to some
freshness of a fish is known
by its tail or eyes.

[Il Penseroso]

by its tail or eyes
a monkey contains itself
contructing the tree

[mazHur]

con(s)tructing the tree
take care you mix cellulose
and water with dust!

[crazefest456]

and water with dust!
remember the most crucial:
eternal soul's breath.

[mazHur]

eternal soul's breath
may not dilute our love
let's talk about us !

[crazefest456]

let's talk about us
while worldly chatter pass-- time
stalls in our prescence

[RobinHood3000]

Stalls in our presence
A stable relationship
Ew - what is that smell??

[mazHur]

Ew - what is that smell??
something as bad as a skunk
chokes my breath with stench

[crazefest456]

chokes my breath with stench
lies poison my meager blood
scythe of time behind

[mazHur]

scythe of time behind
slashes the tender shoots of
the unseen future

[crazefest456]

the unseen future
fantasized by some, but feared
by all whom tread earth

[mazHur]

by all who(m) tread earth
is adorned Mother Nature
with beauty and love

[crazefest456]

with beauty and love
life, ever-fleeting, blossoms
finally buds respire

[mazHur]

finally buds respire,
moth's kiss seems to have paid off
life blooms every where

[crazefest456]

life blooms everywhere
on the cracks of a silo
cows moo to the moon

[mazHur]

cows moo to the moon
but the Hounds of Baskerville
keep howling at it

[crazefest456]

keep howling at it
from dawn to dusk, puppies cry
for tormented souls

[mazHur]

for tormented souls
there is no bliss in this world
place your hand on them!

[crazefest456]

place your hand on them
and wipe their hollow eyes, closed
who am I to judge?

[mazHur]

who am I to judge?
well, if you insist I will
show you my magic!

[crazefest456]

show you my magic!
Sensuality of mine
transcends your divine

[mazHur]

transcends your divine
my quality of being
a carnal fidget

[crazefest456]

a carnal fidget
is all but love to me, just
crude kernels that spawn

[mazHur]

crude kernels that spawn
bring color to the virgin
ovary of love

[TheFifthElement]

ovary of love
shivers like an ear of corn
troubled by the wind

[kiz_paws]

Troubled by the wind
the tumbleweed sallies forth
no end to the race

[mazHur]

no end to the race
no end to the struggle
life goes on and on!

[kiz_paws]

Life goes on and on
no matter how hard we fight
so get used to it

[mazHur]

so get used to it
thorns are every where like this
touching makes them prick

[kiz_paws]

Touching makes them prick
and draw a single blood drop
to form a new rose

[mazHur]

to form a new rose
she had to bow down the bough
I had to kiss her!

[kiz_paws]

I had to kiss her
earnest eyes shining in joy
and a wet nose, too

[yeah, Ode to Pepper, or some such thing, ha ha!] ;)

[crazefest456]

and a wet nose, too
run away! a moist tongue
slathers love...my face!

[kiz_paws]

Slathers love...my face!
a picture of happiness
on a cold morning

[crazefest456]

on a cold morning
one hopes to feel tomorrow
to take day off school

[kiz_paws]

To take day off school
and join the fish in the stream
or maybe catch one...

:wave: oy, Riesa!
[craze, hope you get your snow day after all...;)]

[crazefest456]

yes, Kiz, I hope the weather channel is underestimating the ppt..."snow showers", my behind!!! Something like "mild blizzard" would be nice..

or maybe catch one...
and eat as well--gluttony,
greatest vice of all

[kiz_paws]

Greatest vice of all
this addiction to the word
poems run through my head

[mazHur]

poems run through my head
it's 3 am at night and
I am still awake !

[zanna]

I am still awake
the plight of the world won't let
my eyes close slowly.

[dramasnot6]

My eyes close slowly
My dark mind erupts with light
All things, fantasy

[mazHur]

All things, fantasy;
the entire universe, dream;
we are mere shadows!

[Jane Jane]

we are mere shadows-
the real thing encased inside
these tattered,worn shrouds.

[mazHur]

these tattered,worn shrouds
were once the pride of beauty
now fallen to dust

[Pensive]

now fallen to dust
this arrogance you would not
see in me again

[mazHur]

see in me again
rediscover the same love
when we had first met

[kiz_paws]

When we had first met
the stars were in my blue eyes
my feet left the ground

[crazefest456]

my feet left the ground
and our love swept the dark sky
celestial life!

[kiz_paws]

Celestial life
Man on the moon is lonely
his tears are our rain

[mazHur]

Celestial life
Man on the moon is lonely
his tears are our rain

good one!

his tears are our rain,
harbingers of life and love,
yet we care the least

[kiz_paws]

Yet we care the least
for these our forest creatures
please stay on the path

Thanking you, Maz, for your kind comment. :)

[mazHur]

please stay on the path-
the path of eternal truth;
that's me in your heart

[kiz_paws]

That's me in your heart
treat me very tenderly
and life will blossom

[mazHur]

and life will blossom
love will bear its on reward
let us become one!

[TheFifthElement]

let us become one
body, one soul, unity
in a perfect sphere

[Pensive]

In a perfect sphere
We dance with no gloom in hearts
World is a happy place

[mazHur]

World is a happy place
so it seems to over fed;
hell to the hungry

[Pensive]

Hell to hungry
Yet some manage a smile when
Over-fed complain

[mazHur]

Over-fed complain
of not being served enough;
Ah, frailty of men!

[Pensive]

Ah, frailty of men
Does not lie in poor places
But houses of rich

[mazHur]

But houses of rich
are devoid of love and peace,
life stays a prisoner

[Pensive]

Life stays a prisoner
No matter how much the birds sing
They can not free it

[TheFifthElement]

They can not free it
though it begs, trapped behind bars
shivering with fear

[mazHur]

shivering with fear
of rejection I placed my
heart before my love

[kiz_paws]

Heart before my love
the words before giving thought
the duck flies alone

[mazHur]

the duck flies alone
in search of her destiny
surfing sea below

[kiz_paws]

I liked that one, Maz! :thumbs_up

Surfing sea below
the pounding waves tease the boat
noisy reflections

[mazHur]

merci !

noisy reflections
past will manifest itself
in future's image!

[kiz_paws]

In future's image
the bear dances with the man
and there shall be peace

[mazHur]

and there shall be peace;
well, that's a wishful thinking
I wish it comes true !

[kiz_paws]

I wish it comes true
when snowflakes turn to fairies
magic in the air

[mazHur]

magic in the air
spreads all around when you come
hearts stop when you leave

[kiz_paws]

Hearts stop when you leave
your footsteps leave pixie dust
that lead me to you

[mazHur]

that lead me to you
that make me get lose my way
are longings for you

[kiz_paws]

Are longings for you
existing solely in mind
or is it carnal

[mazHur]

or is it carnal
I really do not know
arn't we both humans?

[kiz_paws]

Aren't we both humans
surpassing the boundaries of
what language allows

[PrinceMyshkin]

What language allows
the heart sometimes surpasses
and goes well beyond.

[mazHur]

what language allows
is not enough to express
my dear love for you

[mazHur]

Prince
Oops! you went faster !

and goes well beyond
the boundaries of bare words
what heart feels for you

[alakungfu]

what heart feels for you
scarce compares to a raw ache
the heart refuses

[kiz_paws]

The heart refuses
when someone has broken it --
try to love again

Hello PrinceM, nice Haiku! :thumbs_up
and welcome to you, alakungfu! ;)

[mazHur]

try to love again
is easy to say than do
you only live once!

[kiz_paws]

you only live once
garner your well being now
infinity calls

[mazHur]

infinity calls
but it takes two to tango
two to fall in love

[alakungfu]

Two to fall in love
And kiss and graze in heaven
on love-drunk bowers

[kiz_paws]

On love-drunk bowers
we shared many happy times
love, I drink to you

[alakungfu]

Love, I drink to you,
My heartwrenching Romeo
abide by our plight

[kiz_paws]

Abide by our plight
together we can do all
two rings prove our love?

[Riesa]

two rings prove our love
as a settled sigh-hum does
in office hours

Hi Kiz. :D

[kiz_paws]

Riesa is 2000 posts ahead of me, ha ha! :)

In office hours
we walk the walk and get paid
our minds oft wander...

[Riesa]

you little challenging... bitc...sweetheart. :p ;) ( I AM Totally kidding, of course you cant see me giggling as I write that, damn internet)

our minds oft wander
towards the unwoven, breaths
left unbreathed, our loves.

dipthongs are my downfall

[kiz_paws]

Ha ha, Riesa! I'll get you you cwazy wabbit! :p

Left unbreathed, our loves
grew 'neath cornflower statues
and marmalade skies

[yeah, The Beatles said it best ... oh well...] ;)

[zanna]

and marmalade skies
make for interesting dreams
like that one last night!

[mazHur]

like that one last night,
I wish I would dream again
holding moon in arms!

[kiz_paws]

holding moon in arms
with stardust in both my eyes
I choke on my words

[mazHur]

I choke on my words
silence turns into vivid
gold in ecstasy

[kiz_paws]

Gold in ecstasy
delicate lace draped just right
a nod and a wink

[mazHur]

a nod and a wink
the preamble, the sequel
nothing in between!

[Pensive]

Nothing in between
And their friendship remains
Healthy as it should

[mazHur]

Healthy as it should
remains friendship between them
in double harness

[kiz_paws]

in double harness
horse hair bristles with each clop
the carriage sings on

[Abs]

The carriage sings on,
it sings synonymously,
With the winds and birds

[mazHur]

With the winds and birds
sing the hearts of lovers two
unicorn smiling

[kiz_paws]

unicorn smiling
how much have I had to drink
the party roars on

[mazHur]

the party roars on
no one cares for my poor dog
waiting out for me!

[ShoutGrace]

Waiting out for me!
A giant collection of
Unresolved questions.

[mazHur]

Unresolved questions
will put you against the wall
fins their answers soon!

[mazHur]

Unresolved questions
will put you against the wall
find their answers soon

[Pensive]

Find their answers soon
Or you would surely have to
Fail your coming exams

[mazHur]

Fail your coming exams
and then repent all your life
what you've been doing !

[kiz_paws]

What you've been doing
the clover stains on your feet
chasing dreams is fun

[mazHur]

chasing dreams is fun
you cast the net but don't catch
any butterflies!

[kiz_paws]

any butterflies
that float away despite rain
are truly magic

[mazHur]

are truly magic
your lovely eyes that convey
lovely messages

[kiz_paws]

lovely messages
sent by the purest of heart
captivate my soul

[mazHur]

captivate my soul
and give it a twist of love
and see your heart dance

[kiz_paws]

and see your heart dance
the tango, unabandoned
such passion in it

[mazHur]

such passion in it
as found in lovers afar
causes love to win

[alakungfu]

Causes love to win
When arbitrary pipe dreams
Plant seeds of discourse.

[mazHur]

Plant seeds of discourse
give words to your silent love
make things possible

[alakungfu]

Make things possible
for the clean separation
from a guilty qualm

[kiz_paws]

From a guilty qualm
rises the Phoenix dearest
such beauty comes forth

[alakungfu]

Such beauty comes forth
Reclusive notwithstanding
Till margins recede

[symphony]

till margins recede
and no no man's land is there
to prevent a war.

[motherhubbard]

To prevent a war
look your brother in the eye
and understand him

[symphony]

and understand him,
not all sapphire eyes can
move in swift swishes....

(thats what happens when u forget how to write)

[motherhubbard]

Move in swift swishes
fairy dancing – sprite delight
just a summers dream

[symphony]

just a summer's dream
to get lost in succeeding
winter's frozen dews....

[motherhubbard]

Winter's frozen dews...
coat my windshield each morning.
To scrape or defrost?

[symphony]

to scrape or defrost
frozen twigs, like grey veins in
frozen breath of death

[kiz_paws]

Frozen breath of death
stealthfully seizes all warmth
leaving me alone

[motherhubbard]

Leaving me alone
Again I scream in the wind
But my voice is lost

[symphony]

But my voice is lost
this rain leads my tears to some
unsounded caverns...

[Il Penseroso]

unsounded caverns
still drip peculiar notes
sediment of age.

[symphony]

sediment of age
decades of dust, destined dooms,
and desperations....

[alakungfu]

And desperations...
roughened rasps beyond relief,
origins of pain

[kiz_paws]

Awesome haiku you guys! Woot! :thumbs_up

Origins of pain
pulsing and throbbing heart beat
at home in my head

[alakungfu]

At home in my heart
love resides passionately
stirring up my soul

[kiz_paws]

Stirring up my soul
a glimpse, a smile, a caress
shadowy secrets

[alakungfu]

Shadowy secrets
drum up the debutante's past
finding loneliness

[kiz_paws]

finding loneliness
in a place crowded with folk
such oxymorons

[CdnReader]

such oxymorons
dreams encroach on the
calm realities

[kiz_paws]

Calm realities
intertwine my muddled thoughts
... sleep deprivation

[mazHur]

.. sleep deprivation
is all that your love gave me
took dreams from my eyes!

[alakungfu]

Took dreams from my eyes,
wretched torments in their place,
stuck ruminating

[kiz_paws]

Stuck ruminating
the woulds, the coulds, and the shoulds
life is very short

[mazHur]

life is very short
avail the moment in hand
don't vie for the next?

[kiz_paws]

Don't vie for the next
generation of gun laws
control yourself now

[dramasnot6]

I like it a lot, Kiz! :D

Life is very short
If you cut it at the seams.
Love is eternal

[mazHur]

control yourself now
enough of your bantering
it's time for business!

[dramasnot6]

Oh, I feel bad...I took too long :(

[dramasnot6]

it's time for business
My whole world is a briefcase
Heart strings thread ties

[kiz_paws]

Heart strings thread ties
of what was not meant to be
sail away, oh dreams!

thanks, drama, and welcome back to the good ol' USofA! ;)

[mazHur]

sail away, oh dreams,
to the land where my love lives
I'll keep my eyes closed!

[alakungfu]

I'll keep my eyes closed,
Searing sun sealing them shut!
Divine images lost...

[kiz_paws]

Divine image lost
a taste of the dream so close
but no cigars now

[dramasnot6]

No cigars now
My last box ran down the coast
Mexico dreaming

[_JadeRain_]

Mexico dreaming
Heritage thick with culture
Begin fiesta

[mazHur]

Begin fiesta
fill the air with music sweet
dance until we fall

[kiz_paws]

Dance until we fall
wicked dreams amidst the mist
I call out your name

[symphony]

i call out your name
the forests answer with fire
flitting birds deny

[kiz_paws]

Flitting birds deny
soaring over fragrant spruce
I smell tomorrow

[symphony]

i smell tomorrow
in the dews of dawns today
i draw the curtains

[kiz_paws]

I draw the curtains
to keep my canine buddy
from seeing postmen ... :sick:

[TheFifthElement]

from seeing postmen
I disguise my paper form
slipping through doorways

[alakungfu]

Slipping through doorways
Tempting shadows in corners
To give them away

[kiz_paws]

To give them away
will add pleasure to the heart
flowers are for love

[TheFifthElement]

flowers are for love,
love-hearts are for romantics,
my tears are for you

[symphony]

my tears are for you
i save them, to be eyed by
two stormy dark eyes

[mazHur]

two stormy dark eyes
stare at you in the jungle
run for your life, dear!

[kiz_paws]

Run for your life, dear!
it is Mardi Gras time, dear
keep all your beads, dear!

[alakungfu]

Keep all your beads, dear
One for each anthem redeemed
by riveting fate

[motherhubbard]

By riveting fate
And holding his attention
Your moment may last

[kiz_paws]

Your moment may last
forever and then a day
marriage is for keeps

[motherhubbard]

Marriage is for keeps
It’s such a big decision
Sleep on it tonight

[jon1jt]

marriage is for keeps
until you smell blueberry--
single male baking

:p

[kiz_paws]

Sleep on it tonight
tomorrow you'll be sober
and run like the wind ;)

single male baking
the gingerbread is pungent
the head -- delicious :lol:
