What killed the cat?
Why do I want to know that?
Curiosity.
Is the third line my answer to the second or yours to the first?
To be, or not to ...?
Why can't I recall what's next?
That is the question.
Does the third line refer to the first question or the second?
Food of love starcross'd:
Romeo and Julie ate*
peanuts and lollies.
ate* pronounced et
A weak haiku:
Mon-day Tu-es-day
Wed-nes-day Thurs-day Fri-day
Sat-ur-day Sun-day.
Long distance phone call:
Love uncommunicated.
Brrrp, brrrp, busy line!
Wine, Women and Song —
A short life but a gay one.
What a way to go!
Misunderstood wood!
An oboe is an ill wind
that no one blows good.
A hair cut? No, sir,
saving for a violin —
and to look the part.
I'm an odd poet:
whenever I write haiku
one and one make three.
'mitigate against'
should read 'militate against';
a common mistake.
An antique Roman falls on his sword
Death before dishonour
Is such a pain in the butt —
Fall frontwards next time.
C'indy is D'Indy
and the eclair is Leclair
but Kurt Weill is vile.
Respond to this post:
something to stroke my ego;
a message massage.
today dawns perfect,
no clouds up there in the calm;
weather forecast: - rain!
the weather varies,
the weather forecasts, never:
sunny with showers
sunlit shower drops
a trillion-spectra rainbow
bridge to Valhalla
winter winds have waned
and winsome Spring wildly blows
weeds in abundance
Is there a collective noun for weeds? If not, I suggest "abundance"!
sometimes I just sits
and sometimes I sits and thinks
and sometimes I don't.
This is a haiku by Emily Dickinson - or is it?
We lose — b'cause we win —
Gamblers — recollecting which
Toss their dice again!
