Haikus-for-Youse



Spatula, For Jeff W.
first, slide in under
with a graceful flip, airborne
press to leave grill-marks

Tape, for Melissa
new pair of trousers
a polyethylene weave
sturdy duct-tape pants


 Blue, for Zero
sometimes you wonder
I peed and the test turned blue
can men get pregnant?


Turnip, for Vance
I can't remember --
are turnips the white, gross ones
or the red, gross ones?

 
Snagglepuss, for Mum
a mild-mannered
Laff-A-Lympics judge by day,
by night, Pink Panther

 Disestablishmentarian, for Jeff C.
we can't drown them out
with polysyllabic signs,
our pen's out of ink


Like it? As promised, I wrote haikus for people that were generous enough to donate the spare words they no longer need. If anybody is reading this, that means this blog is active, and you too can have a hand-crafted haiku. Just leave a single word in the comments, and a haiku will appear in a later post.

    Bahaha, Yes they are the white gross ones.

    I want 2: Anxious and Calm. Because I'm feeling anxious and I need someone to relate, and then I need one to calm me down.

    speaking of unwanted words: all of those words you ave to type into the word proof box to prove you are human kuwftpa, myerps, etc. Some sites claim they are real words and you are helping to preserve ancient language. Or something. I can't find the link to back that up.
