Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

(googled it) APB is a three-letter acronym used in American law enforcement to mean All Points Bulletin - that is, a bulletin broadcast to all parties, often with information about a suspect who is to be detained.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APB

A cruller is a type of doughnut. Usually, icing is placed on its top (i.e., chocolate). It is often twisted (rather than round) in shape, and unraised. The word comes from early 19th century Dutch kruller, from krullen "to curl".

A.P.B. on crullers
To Serve and Protect us all
From our ruthless selves.

Sorry. Cop talk. A.P.B.=all points bulletin. You know, like on old cop shows on tv when you hear the police dispatcher over the radio saying there's an APB on some bad guy doing some bad thing.
And crullers are those fancy, fluted donuts. A little bit of a "sissy" donut for most of the cops I know, but it was the best I could do for purposes of Haiku.

From our ruthless selves.
Self defense against myself
Who will bail me out?

Who will bail me out?
A self induced prisoner
Of timidity

Of timidity
One must be ever mindful.
Bring it out of you.

Bring it out of you
The passion of life itself
The power of love

"The power of love";
UK hits for three artists,
1985

(Frankie goes to Hollywood, Jennifer Rush & Huey Lewis & the News - 3 different songs with the same title, all UK top ten hits in the same year! - 1st two got to No. 1)

1985
When i was two years old
Time just fly past me

Time, just fly past me
Please, leave me at a standstill
Let me watch them grow

Let me watch them grow
Leave my house and then marry
Moments remembered

Moments remembered;
Whilst the years, like falling leaves,
Pass by unremarked.

Beautiful.

Pass by unremarked
Old ghost by a graveyard dog
Just stretches and yawns.

Yeah, Xamonas' was definitely beautiful

Just stretches and yawns,
In the middle of the night,
Time to go to sleep.

Time to go to sleep
Release the mind from today
Dreams to fulfill now

Dreams to fulfill now
My heart filled with a purpose
There is life out there

There is life out there
Beyond the borders we build
Lies a land of more

Very original, Xamon. I like it.

Lies a land of more
More what? Swiss cheese? Sharp cheddar?
Some wine with it, please.

Some wine with it, please
A fruity sauvignon blanc
From cool, dark cellars

Riesa, Digi & Virgil - thanks for the compliments - now stop it before my head gets any bigger than it already is! (blushes)

From cool, dark cellars,
Come forgotten toys and junk;
It's jumble sale time!

It's jumble sale time!
Memories unearthed once more
What price shall they fetch?

What price shall they fetch?
A mere farthing and two pence?
Bah, I'll declare them!

Bah, I'll declare them
Mine are they? or shall we Dual?
Come Let us draw swords!

Come, let us draw swords.
Or shall it be small pistols?
Slurs must not be passed.

Slurs must not be passed,
Retrieve your foul insults, or
Throw down the gauntlet

Slurs must not be passed
Shall we then? Unguard! monsieur!
"Klink" "klink" clashing swords!

Throw down the gauntlet
The decision controls you,
You're its conclusion.

"Klink, Klink", clashing swords,
Hasty words, wounded pride. Death:
You're its conclusion.

You're its conclusion.
Jesters blundering along
Future's foggy path.

Future's foggy path,
it, we shall always ponder
Future's foggy path

Future's foggy path
We chip away flake by flake
Nose to the grindstone

Nose to the grindstone
A task ordained, like the bird
Constructing its nest

:lol: :lol: Very good.

Constructing its nest
the eagle and its soul mate
prepare for the birth

Prepare for the birth
Of French Toast, donkey offspring
Of Aunt Jemima

(feeling uninspired)

lol

Of Aunt Jemima,
Whose visits are most dreaded
By her grandchildren

By her grandchildren
She felt most proud, accomplished.
Regeneration.

Regeneration;
There are times when we all must,
Plump up life's cushions.

NICE! How do you pronounce your User Name? I think: Zamoanuz Cheg-wee, Is this it?

PLUMP up life's cushions,
Click your heels and sing ''LA LA"
Grin at the Devil.

Thanks again - I'm collecting complements - perhaps I should submit some of my work to that poetry.com mentioned in another thread!

The 'X' is like the 'ch in a scottish 'loch', the 'o' is hard, like in 'don', the 'as' is pronounced like 'grass' (they wouldn't let me use the other word for donkey there - :lol:). The stress is on the second syllable.

Chegwe is as written, except that it should have an acute accent on the last 'e' (any one know how to add one?) making it 'way' at the end. The stress is on the first syllable.

Grin at the Devil
And hope he doesn't grin back.
Wink at his minions.

Wink at his minions,
Serve them iced tea with lemon,
Teach them to two-step.
