Frivolous Friday Afternoons at the Haikulodeon

Frivolous Friday Afternoons at the Haikulodeon

Here's this week's heap of haikus:

Near the temple of
Dionysus, peonies

plead for one more chance.

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

Does your past exist
in black, white and shades of grey?
I didn't think so ...

(Video is some rare color movies of London in 1927)

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

Lord hear my prayer;

Let Pete Seeger sing his songs

All the live long day.

(Happy 94th birthday to a national treasure, Pete Seeger)

----------

On the First of May,
(Hurray, Hurray!) I think that
Spring is here to stay ...

---

Response from my friend, Jennifer:

On the First of May,
In a Colorado way...
we have a snow day!

---

My response:

A Spring-time snow can
be a blessing, enabling
floral expressing ...

---

Jennifer's response:

I paint with colors
planted in the form of seeds
floral expression!

---

My response:

Thank God for good chairs,
Arthritic artists can't do
floor-al expressions.

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

To say it's snowing
in Minnesota is like ...
"It's wet" in Venice.

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

tanka haiku:

When you're sailing and
you strike a reef, don't crack open
an aperitif.

That will only cause you grief;
you'll be shaking like a leaf.

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

Spider on the wall,
brings my house good fortune and
happiness for all.

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

In Autumn's dotage,
death's a gentler tiger,
greeted with a smile.

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

Spring has just arrived,
Earth's re-born, and we rejoice.
Turn, turn, turned once more.

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

The coming of Spring ...
HAI-ku! haiii-KOOO! (sniff) ... (sniff) ... ... (sniff)
Damned allegories!

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

Poems and babies
can make fools out of us all ...
"Ooooo, haiku-cheee-kooooo!"

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

Cyber-ku:

Intertwined with an
interactive internet ...
sought by Interpol

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

Before the beguine's
begun to beguile, betray
that beignet, Benny.

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

Could be good, could be bad-ku:

Manhattan's skyline;
a powerful reminder
of 'what's possible.'

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

tanka haiku:

Our thoughts have blended,
into philosophical
smoothies. We're zombies.

How do brand new thoughts emerge
when old thoughts refuse to die?

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

The stack of papers,
suddenly flew ’round the room!
Please!! Close the window!!

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

Brisk rainy mornings,
ameliorate gloom and
cleanse nature’s palate.

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

Broken hearts are healed,
by the caring of true friends.
Warmth triggers mending.

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

Thinking about you,
Hoping you found happiness,
Sad we had to part.

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

The problem, it seems
is my old mirror. It needs
newer reflections.

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

This is going to be awesome. We just booked Regina DeCicco, recently named the funniest female comic in New York!

OH just delightful.

I love the 'discussion' or tete-a-tete! ha

It just snowed a few flakes today.

Not serious but you had better wear a hoody outside your sweater!

No the snow is gone here, finally but my daughter still could see some in the cities today from their blizzard last nite.

Oh and I would pray for new reflections in my goddamn mirror. hahahahaha

I will have to return to this later!
