Haiku
M, what an amazing use of the imagery and words from my 'Haiku'! Excellent Stephanie.
Thanks, Guy. And I'd have to agree with you; M, I love the word play.
Thank you, Guy and Stephanie! I have way too much fun on this thread.
A horrid slap she gave him. He knew no excuse
he'd say could save him.
Stunned and smarting fromthat slap, he lay his head in
the welcoming lap
of a bronzed goddess
of scanty clothes, of shapely
legs, of fishnet hose.
Beautiful, the handthat guides him to the restless
surging of the tides.
Belly! Where's the title?! (Great, btw.) M, that one almost made me blush! CJ, fun!
She was a cradleendlessly rocking, smelling
of suntan lotion,
he but a freighter
helplessly docking, snared by
her rhythmic motion.
Velma, outraged, did
something shocking. (What it was,
I have no notion.)
Guy, Jim, M, Stephanie, CJ, Belly...wow! The latest run on this thread is a tour de force. Brilliant!
Hello, Ryan! Yes, this has been a great run. M, that was brilliant!Velma's frail conscience
saw the boist'rous rocking pair
and felt her knees quake.
She smelled incense
and eased her clothes to the chair
to give up her stake.
I just read Belly’s “outside the machine.” Oh, my God! All I can say is that it’s a first for the W.S.S. I’ll open a bottle of Grand Marnier.I got a kick out of the Charlie Brown reference in Ellis’s haiku!
For a group rated PG-13, there are some things posted here that put over-eighteen groups to shame.
Yes, he is.[Guy bows low in true respect.]
I’m just now catching up. He sure is! Belly, your “lance a lot” haiku is (unsurprisingly) delightful in all the right ways.
im up way too latebut my day has just begun
daylight dramatized
sunsets magicalbringing forth all creation
through others silenced
Ellis, Zack, well done!Within silence's sound
I knew I would find the sound
of sunsets unbound.
Sunset, unbound, doe-eyed, made me think I’d gone to
heaven yet not died.
the s is silentThe world's clockworks squeak,
and a sibilant Cybil
softly sighs 'What's up?'
“Two hundred dollars?”I gaped. Cybil took my bill-
fold. “Let’s not quibble.”
Sleepy Time:the formidable
power point presentation
hypnotizes me.
Ellis is a G,Keepin' it mostly low key,
now where's the brew-ski?
eh, its not that cold,in Florida, Orlando;
I do miss the snow.
I do miss seasons, but what is truly blundered,
is education.
A spider will soonbe feeding on a gnat that’s
recklessly speeding.
Irritating buzz,resonating in my ear,
was, and now is mush.
A mouthful of mush,and reflexes a bit slow,
too much alcohol.
Oh! The humour! EXCELLENT sequence, Robyn, Zack, Belly, Ellis M. RotFL!Having Breakfast in Frog Pajamas
To be cooked and ate
is to live and salivate
as the frog's true mate.
against all the odds,she knelt down and kissed the frog,
and wished she hadn't.
Now she practicesout-of-sorts amphibian
witchcraft at Frogwarts.
:D Awesome, M!
The black witch got madewith a light warlock who laid
with her and her maid.
Of mice and men, of plansbest laid, of the blonde who’s known
as the Minute Maid.
LoL! Zack, M loved these! And excellent Robyn, and welcome to the wild and salty ship's Haiku thread! Very, very funny!an infusion of hard to see tea beggars
Made with minute men,
the handmaid's hand made wart's tea
left a mystery.
her legs mysticize fishnets creeping up her thighs
as she rolls her eyes
She had a cold eye,a hawk nose, but the gams that
filled those fishnet hose
woven (some said) on
the devil’s loom, lured her prey
to her upstairs room.
Yes! You certainly turned the tables with that one. I have a feeling the man in the scenario resembles a certain doctor.
Frank N Furter from Rocky Picture Horror Show? I wonder... is this the source of Al's muse? LoL.
Well done! Zack, M, Al, so funny!With razor and care
nary a hair dare stare down
the mad man with Nair.

A bald mr. clean
