Quote from my husband in reference to a game we were playing.

whether right or wrong
come to a decision quick
that's just how it is

Of course he had to wait even longer for my turn as I had to stop to write down what he said. He may not like poetry, but I think he has a poets heart.

an ox, fox and mare
walk into a bar one night
the bartender says ...

[Cate]

we're covered in snow
reminds me of Christmas tales
keeps me warm inside

[jimbo]

A summers morning
Hedges draped with silver gown
A spiders art work?

This majestic gown
Is it a web of deceit?
Woven in disguise?

Just to catch some flies?
Or to make our human eyes
See where nature lies?

Each a masterpiece
diamonds everywhere
spun in moonlit night...........

[lizzytysh]

We interrupt for this important message:

a summer morning
hedges sit with silver gown
a spider at work?

Beautiful.

Thank you liz .you made my day....

[jimbo]

the smiling rainbow
forgiving tears of the sky
some people cant see

[lizzytysh]

[I love your visions, Jimbo... and, yes, I'm very familiar with that morning magic. I also like very much your take on the rainbow.]

Back to haiku...

[jimbo]

When the sunset falls
silhoetting my lover
I could die like that

the setting sun casts
us into the shadow cave
of our secret love

daylight weakening
stars begining to twinkle
will we close our eyes

[jimbo]

is there anyone here
who can write happy haikus
dont leave me alone

[Cate]

Haiku's
that make me happy
written long ago


Under the cherry tree,
eating soup, fish and vegetables
with petals scattered on them

Basho


Wading through a stream
in summer, carrying my sandals.
How delightful!

Buson


The cat sleeps. It gets up.
It gives a great yawn.
And off it goes now to make love!
