All Bark, No Bite

I'm not a dog, but
I do have a furry face
after not-shaving.

Not Colorblind
Black Lives Do Matter
I cannot imagine a
Person who says "no".

Contemplating so much on that lately....

The Confederate Flag

Southern heritage
is carried by other means
that don't offend blacks.

It's 4 AM and I Can't Sleep
I popped three pain pills
Tonight alone and I still
Wake at 4 AM

Confederate Flag Response
Apparently though
It is the only way to
Keep up the Lost Cause...

Lighter Note
Off to London in
August-- a new adventure
Is coming for me.

Response to A Haiku a Day 2015-07-25 20:46:29


I Know the Feeling

Except I have stayed
up until 4 a.m., to
arise head whirring.

The Lost Cause...

is a serious
debate, but it should've been
over years ago.

I've always wanted to go to London, but...

The metric system
and sharp left turns are rather
notable turn-offs.

Nicolas Cage's Wallet

This is why they have
to invent a negative
twenty dollar bill.

Negative Twenty Dollars
Adding insult to
Injury maybe but: the
College kid struggle!

Disconcerting
Hold the phone, wait up
Flirting? With me? Co worker
Has to be tripping.

:\

Now Concerned
I was enamored
Now I am afraid that this
Game is dangerous.

Overthink
Yeah right, whatever
Gotta keep my head on straight
Can't lose it right now!

"See you around..."
My favorite song
Now makes me think about you
But in the reverse.

Waves Good-Bye
Though I doubt I am
La Cienega to you.
Such a little girl...

Squid On a Shelf
To my little squid--
How I adore your fez and
Bowtie-- you rascal!

Recipe for Haiku-writing

A bucketful of
creativity, a dash
of concision. Yum!

Too many thoughts in
My head, poetry is best
To examine bones.

You, my dear friend, are
Not so bad yourself--I just
Smile when you write. :)

I Wanna Be A Spoken Word Poet
I wish I had fire
So my words could burn on stage.
Alas, I am cold.

Writing Poetry
Here is the start point!
I practice, practice, practice
Until it is right.

The NRA

If they don't comment
on Pelican State deaths, I
don't comment on them.

LEGOS
I wish I had a
Computer good enough to
Play a Lego game...

Response to A Haiku a Day 2015-07-29 13:28:10


I just found ... this thread
thinking there were no writers
on NG forums

Obviously, I
was mistaken, oh my god
what a nice surprise

It would be a shame
If I interrupted your
endless dialogue, eh?

Coffee ain't a herb
Herbal tea is for pansies
Is the tea curse real?

LEGOS
Plastic bricks and planks
Re-live the past on PC?
Pixel shader two.

Syllables confuse
non-native speakers like me
Sorry bad English.

Then I guess I work

I love me some tea.

Welcome to the chat
Full of haiku bantering

Let's throw you a welcome party!

There won't be gifts, as
this is the internet, but
we can still have cake!

I laughed, I shed tears
So welcomed I've never felt
my entire life, *sob*

That "welcomed" feeling
might be from all the Molly
I put in the cake.

In all seriousness, though, "entire" is 3 syllables. ;)

Our own languages
Makes fools of us all sometimes.
Aren't they wonderful?

Pretty Words
Inclined to agree
One can use a pretty word
To weave a good lie.

Ironically,
that first remark on "entire"
was edited in.

Behind every artist hides
a skillful liar.

Making you believe
stories, scenes, sounds, characters

Relative clauses
Indirect speech and syntax
I really love them

I strive to improve
my English to C1 but
I forgot about

Syllables, oh my
Patience is all I ask, my
Dear haikuists.

Only then edits
Will cease to defile this thread
I am Purity

Then there are our own
Lies that we will hide behind
Or fall victim to.
