Haiku

[Voboy]

Revenge, best served cold?
Better, perhaps, for both sides:
Some oral pleasure!

 

[Voboy]

Longed-for return? No.
The old jitters still remain.
Tuukka Rask? Stay home.

 

[Specula]

So you want a Haiku?
NO??!! - I will go!!!
Put an end to it all!
While you have a ball
But I still want a screw

 

[AlinaX]

no rhyme nor humour
can counter a limerick's
rhythmlessness

 

[Voboy]

Ah, fair Limerick,
The fast food of poetry.
Lovely city, though.

 

[AlinaX]

just five little lines
with words like gilt inlaid spines
of leather-backed tomes
such are rarely found in homes
and never where the sun shines

 

[MadeleineSinha]

To convey ones mood
in seventeen syllables
is very diffic

John Cooper Clarke

 

[MadeleineSinha]

Roses red petals
Above slender long green stem
Just like you, small prick

 

[AlinaX]

dabbling in non-con:
the joy of being given
just what you wanted

 

[Voboy]

Cunning, the snow waits.
Tomorrow, the shovels dance;
Tonight? Resigned sleep.

 

[MadeleineSinha]

Bread slowly toasting
Aromatic tea brewing
breakfast alone, heaven

 

[stickygirl]

Just a cold she says
Her flow test proved negative
All this cake to eat

 

[Voboy]

Clawing at the snow,
The shovel bites endlessly.
Back pain? Possible.

 

[AlinaX]

the storm has passed now
but the chaos of road works
lingers in its wake

 

[Voboy]

Storm done, driveways clear.
So how shall I recover?
Football. Glass of scotch.

 

[stickygirl]

Seven inches girth?!
A seamstress, she had a tape
and pins and scissors

 

[AlinaX]

and a rolling pin
wood worthy of caresses
unlike her husband’s

 

[stickygirl]

Call me Ahab please
Rolling eye in foaming sea
Harpoon ready! She Blows!

 

[AlinaX]

(Nice. I've never read Moby Dick, and the constant referencing of it in film & TV bemuses me. I did read a book called Mobius Dick by Andrew Crumey that was entertaining sci-fi about quantum realities breaking down.)

 

[Voboy]

"Peg leg..." metaphor?
A cropped limb, cetacean food?
Or a real long dick?

 

[AlinaX]

a mobius dick
if done right, comes full circle
with a wicked twist

 

[stickygirl]

Did you say Ahab?
No, I'm Ishmael old man
I do the talking

 

[AlinaX]

keep your harpoon, lass
seamen tell too many tales
of penetration

 

[stickygirl]

A famous Sperm whale
Inseminated Iceland
Cream pied Reykjavik

 

[Voboy]

Fog off snowy fields:
There’s no more horizon now.
Land and sky? Silver.
