    loosey, righty tight
    the cat and dog like to fight
    hiss, howl through the night

    hiss, howl through the night
    rather growl at the day's blight
    to lover's delight

    When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.

    to lover's delight
    the moonshine wets the nightqueens
    in white fragrancy
    .
    ...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.

    I thought it's called "fragrancy" too? Ah never mind.

    untold, taciturn.
    the driblets furled in the leaf
    trickling down the greens
    .
    ...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.

    trickling down the greens
    a battalion of golf balls
    armed to the eyeteeth

    thing that came its way --
    sharp, needle teeth and loud snarl.
    It's just life. Don't run!

    soggy shoes dripping

    soggy shoes dripping
    saltwater through the eyelets;
    immured rivulets

    immured rivulets
    drip along glass, past notice
    by expectant stares
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.

    Haiku:
    1. A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.

    2. A poem written in this form.


    what will you become
    anything you want to be
    Truth in time will tell
    Hope that was clear enough.


    Now, back to Il Penseroso's last line.

    by expectant stares
    sapphire skies and sapphire eyes
    rainless farming days
    .
    ...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.

    rainless farming days
    make the solitary lass
    eye the sky in tears
