then where do we stand
when the earth bids us depart
and our tiny dreams?
and our tiny dreams
to fly in the sky like birds
kiss the face of moon.
Kiss the face of Moon--
that barren space miscalled Sea
of Fertility.

When Scripture said celebrate
And not celibate

two went hand in hand set forth
to face out the world.

Cheese, onion, pickle: a lunch
Better than nothing.

jingling like tiny wind-chimes
in the clogged gutters

the leaves continued to fall

a windblown invitation
no R.S.V.P.

no room at the inn, nor place

there is no berth for solace
only crashing seas

Lost on a foaming ocean
Forever adrift

will you come with me?

I'm so sorry! I didn't notice the linkage :( I fixed my haiku and to make up for my faux pas:
'all da do da day'

Did Alice see it coming?
Through the looking glass

Beyond the far horizons
That's where I will be.

some sweet someday far away
beyond madding crowd.

amidst the lap of nature
wrapped in green mist

of vaporised Cornish cale,
Heston's cod ain't cheap
Heston's cod ain't cheap--
flakey fried with malt and salt,
chips and ale: enjoy!

Seize the moment that's flying
on its silver wings
Sorrow hides under the water
As the girl of glass, dressed in white
Is happy enough to commit suicide.
On its silver wings,
Looking-glass insects bizarre:
oh--wonderful dream!
Oh-- wonderful dream!
They charm, they haunt, they seduce
Yet they are divine!
Yet they are divine,
All these ancient, bearded gods.
Divine and jobless.

Pushing its way to the fore
Delivers the truth.
