New Year's Haiku
Tinsel raining down -
Glitter litters terrazzo -
A new year begins.
Will you haiku too?
I'd like to haiku with you.
Let's haiku we two.
Haiku haiku what
are you? Are you a-rhyming?
Nay, but that's okay.
A lot of wrinkles
and the hair is all but gone
may I present: me
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
If you doubt my word -
Act as though it is unheard -
And then, you shall see.
Sweetly bestowing
A haiku or two for you
To grace your weekend
Party going on
For my son's eighteenth birthday
Djeez, is that music?
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
Summertime begins
In the United Kingdom
But where is the sun?
The wind is trying
To break every tree around
And sometimes he wins
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
My fuzzy brain is
trying to think, but it is
impossible: Tired.
pennies from heaven
fall in golden pools that form
all around me now
In the first line: five
In the second line: seven,
In the third line: five.
The future we dreamt
of yesterday is here now.
Progress does not wait.
There's always that face
That clings to my retina
even with closed eyes
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
A bass in my hands
and a drum beat in my head,
it beats being dead!
music expresses
our feelings by way of sound
and that's wonderful
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
the majesty of
the written word can not be
surpassed by anything.
Nothing supersedes
The overwhelming feeling
Of being desired
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
the catch in the breath;
the desire in the eyes say
"I love you" clearly
"Oh" I said, "It's you!"
"Yes" he said "How do you do?"
Then we parted ways
You do not know that
My heart always skips a beat
When I see your face
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
Giving this a try
My first Alaska haiku
Look a polar bear!
The name Alaska
Brings visions to my mind of
Bears hunting salmon
If life seems jolly rotten
there's something you've forgotten
and that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
from Monty Python's "Life of Brian"
Still are the nights, when
I'm alone with thoughts of you,
Night and day collides.
Now I close my eyes
I click my heels together
But I am still here
