    A Friday Afternoon of Love at the Haikulodeon

     

     

    Here's this week's heap of haikus:

     

     

    A poet wrote: "I
    carry your heart in my heart."
    Love was ever thus.

    ---

     

     

    My heart imagines
    your passionate love for me,
    How long must I dream?

     

    ---

     

    Oh my dear sweet love,
    when you're near me, my heart leaps
    and I'm filled with joy!


    ---


     His heart had grown old,
    his spirit, weak and flagging,
    Love had shut its door.


    ---


    T'was love at first sight,
    First, he tickled her fancy,
    And then, so much more.


    ---


    Since the day we met,
    the creases formed by your smile,
    haved lived in my thoughts.


    ---


    Two hearts beat as one ...
    which begs the question; How high
    is their blood pressure?


    ---


    A sincere heart is,
    more likely to change the world,
    than a reasoned thought.



    ---


     A downtown cafe ...
    lovers cuddle in a booth,
    and share some red wine.


    ---

    Outside my window,
    furious snowflakes mingle,
    fearful pigeons roost.


    ---


     An old weathered rope,
    hangs 'round a lonely fence-post,
    purpose forgotten.


    ---


     When you are away,
    I sit and stir my soup and
    listen to old songs.


    ---


    There is an old tree
    that knows my heartaches and has
    heard my confessions.


    ---


    Though old of age, he
    felt he still had tales to tell,
    and trails to wander.


    ---

     

     

    Saturday nights, the
    best of the best were the best!
    It's your Show of Shows!

    (RIP Sid Caesar!)

    Wish the snow would go
    from being to nothingness ...?
    Sartre should shovel.

     


    ---

     

    Now, with cubism,
    Picasso bet you could tell
    shape from abstraction.



     
    ---

    Another snowstorm,
    another chance to enjoy
    quiet time at home.


    ---


    Young eyes hold magic;
    look into them, and see the
    world as it could be.


    ---


    Caveat Emptor,
    says it all: Let the buyer
    be wearing no clothes.



    ---

    Remembering love
    is a journey through the soul
    that restores the heart.


    ---

    Lazy sunlight drifts,
    through the parted lace curtains,
    of the drawing room.

    ---
     
    In a quiet room.
    a book lies open on a
    mahogany desk.

    ---


    Wishing you were here,
    Hoping you find happiness,
    Sadly, we've moved on.

    ---


    The stack of papers,
    suddenly flew 'round the room!
    Please close the window!


    ---

    He recalls fondly
    how one rainy afternoon
    they 'shared' an awning.
     
    ---


    Will you dance with me?
    Come, Let's shake the rafters with
    our mutual joy.

    ---

    Sweet melodies drift
    from my grandmother's bedroom.
    Old 78's.

    I am having problems with my keyboard.

    So I will begin with a thank-you.

    This is wonderful.

     

     


    Very wonderful.

    That Sid Cesar clip...it was amazing how Carl Reiner remained perfectly buoyant and coiffed, not a hair out of place nor his tie askew, as chaos enveloped him.


    Yes, it's one of my favorite Show of Show sketches.  Caesar, Carl Reiner and Howard Morris are comedic perfection.


    You love the beloved,

    When all the annoying things,

    Remind you of her.


    Good one, moat!

     

     


    To properly dance,

    I must first remove my pants;

    Revealing my tights.

     

    Digging out the car,

    For the seventh time or more,

    I met Sisyphus.

    His boulder is very large.

    He keeps it in a garage.

     

     


    HA!  Good one, moat!

     

    Changing your spark-plugs

    is pointless, when you own the

    Sisyphus Garage.

    If you hear the words,

    "I must first remove my pants ..."

    Look for the exit.
