Another Glorious Friday Afternoon at the Haikulodeon

Another Glorious Friday Afternoon at the Haikulodeon

Here's this week's heap of haikus:

Wishing for rainbows
is fine, but refracting light
through a prism ... works.

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

You hope for glory ...
too often settle for praise ...
don't lose your focus.

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

Living in Limbo,
you'll see sunrise in Heaven
and sunsets in Hell.

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

Though she pined for him,
she could not find a way to
gracefully forgive.

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

Those small blades of grass
which ruin your garden's 'look',
help curb erosion.

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

He yawns, then stretches
wonders why it's so quiet ...
Awake at sunrise.

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

Old photos captured
a me that's no longer me,
I've ... gone a long way.

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

Scared of the future,
can't live in the past; old age
makes us 'be here now.'

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

I whisper your name,
Not because I need you here,
I just dig your vibe.

Response from a Friend:

Wish everyone had
Someone to whisper their name
Just to dig the vibe.

My Response:

Just send your name to
the universe and you may
find a whisperee ...

My Friend's Response:

Imagine matching
whisperers to whisperees:
Now THAT's a sweet job!

If you're whispering
AND you're whispered about, then,
You're very lucky.

My Response:

Voids are always filled.
Whisperers find Whisperees,
in the Library.

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

tanka haiku: His reading glasses
slid right down his nose and dropped
into the toilet.

His obvious dilemma,
was solved when he stopped laughing.

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

haiku + tanka haiku:

Is love illusion?
Rainbows just refracted light?
Is what you feel, real?

Do we dream at all
or is it all a dream? We
may never be sure.

So whistle if you like, friend,
we all chose which world we build.

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

Whistling was the
first iPod; it makes music
where-ever we go ...

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

We will perservere.
We'll wake again tomorrow
and tend our gardens.

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

tanka haiku: I am not happy
with the way things turned out ... I
want a mulligan.

This time, 'stead of a three wood,
I will try a pitching wedge.

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

Ice Cream truck is here!
Maaaaaaa! Can I have a quarter?!
I'll pay you right back!

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

Our discoveries
have the power to turn us
into kids again ...

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

Reminder-ku: Meeting girlfriend's dad;
NOT the time to talk about
your love of ballet.

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

Talking out loud while
watching La Boheme is rude.
Sotto voce, jerk!

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

The man in the moon
quietly observes lovers;
both earnest and fools.

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

You can stop crazy
folks from making lemonade ...
Don't give them lemons.

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

Marble-sized hailstones
bounced off air conditioners
in the East Village.

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

Summer's mystery;
How can it be cold and still
be hot and muggy?

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

Heartfelt homilys
gave Sunday morning breakfasts
ample food for thought.

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

tanka haiku: Let's live, not by sight,
but by faith, and a belief
that we are all blessed.

Fine, first pad the furniture,

then put on your "kick me" sign.
