The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

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.
