    more haikus for a friday afternoon; the first one of the new year ...

     

    This week's batch:
     
    -----------------------
     
    They said, 'He's a fool'
    But he intrigued her, because ...
    she felt foolish too.

     

    ---------------------------------- 
     
    double haiku: This physical realm,
    lets spiritual beings,
    experience pain.

    Live and you'll know pain;

    All lessons in Life derive
    from this single fact.
     
    -----------------------------------
     

     

    I think he enjoyed
    being silly the most when
    she was serious.
     
    -----------------------------------
     
     
    She put pink socks on
    her fingers and wiggled them.
    He still didn't laugh.
     
     
    -------------------------------------
     
    Oh no, not again!
    My right sock's on the left foot!
    I'll walk in circles!
     
    ----------------------------------------
     
     
    a clumsy lover
    is often the most sincere
    be gentle with them.
     
     
    ----------------------------------------
     
     
    some simple advice;
    when attending reunions,
    don't just stand there, shmooze!
     
     
    --------------------------------------------------
     
     
    She left him speechless.
    Without words, he walked away ...
    (but took his sweet time.)
     
     
    ------------------------------------------------------
     
     
    A sterile house with
    antiseptic anterooms,
    will only breed aunts.
     
     
    -----------------------------------------------------
     
     
    An int'resting choice;
    hiding her psoriasis
    under snake tattoos.
     
     
    --------------------------------------------
     
     
    On the bus ride home,
    he reached into his pocket,
    and found her love note.
     
     
    -------------------------------------------
     
     
    Little lady bug,
    slowly crawls over rock walls,
    to reach my garden.
     
     
    --------------------------------------------
     
     
    Giving away the
    punchline of a rival's joke ...
    is satisfying.   ;-)
     
     
    ----------------------------------------------
     
     
    Old acquaintances
    forgot? And ne'er brought to mind?
    Well, that's just silly.
     
     
    -----------------------------------------------
     
     
    You can deny it,
    crush it and bury it, but
    Truth will rise again.
     
     
    ---------------------------------------------
     
     
    There is much to do,
    and we're the ones to do it.
    Gather up, let's go!
     
     
    ----------------------------------------------
     
     
    double haiku: As we approach the
    start of another new year,
    let us make this vow:

    To let go of things,
    and leave what's past in the past.
    Look forward, not back.
     
     
     
    ---------------------------------------------------
     
     
    Delicately placed
    on the mahogany desk;
    his father's notepad.
     
     
    ---------------------------------------------------
     
     
    Wiping away tears,
    he had to take a deep breath.
    Love overwhelmed him.
     
     
    -------------------------------------------------
     
     
    In an oblong tin,
    he kept his oolong tea, cuz ...
    that's where it belonged.

     
    --------------------------------------------

     
    Gradual tea-bags
    will just make your tea cozy,
    make your tea-bags steep.

     

    --------------------------------------------
     
     
    He still talks to her
    whenever he needs a friend.
    She still ignores him.
     

     

    ----------------------------------------------
     
     
    Confused conundrums,
    thoroughly mixed metaphors,
    twisted conclusions.
     
     
    ------------------------------------------------
     
     
    Though aunts may wear pants,
    an uncle in a dress would
    be 'ahem' -raiser.
     

     

    -----------------------------------------------
     
     
    Hating violence;
    his hands hid his eyes when he
    watched "The Godfather."
     
     
    ---------------------------------------------

    I am a tea guy

    But I am a coffee guy

    Both will do the trick!

    Oh no, not again!
    My right sock's on the left foot!
    I'll walk in circles!

     

    I kind of like to use the middle sock at times.

    It is cleaner. hahahahahah

    That is all I got and my print size appears to be predetermined. hahahahahaha

     


    His daughter's confused,
    Barbie filibustered her.
    Oops, wrong tea party.


    I am on the dock

    Staged to board the Klahowya

    I must live on board

    (that word is pronounced Kla. how. Ya)


    I  saw a surfer

    To float the waves of the Sound

    Is he stoned or dumb?


    Nice ones, tmc!  

     

    I shout, "Bon voyage"

    as the ship glides from the pier

    Strangers laugh and wave.

     

     


    All politics stink.

    Just when I think I get it

    Someone lets go facts. 


    Rough translation from haikus of northern peoples in Hokkaido. 


     

    translations are rough,

    when you do them on the fly,

    (don't blame the zipper.)

     

    Sorry, I was going to write an insightful response, but this just made me laugh too much.
