presses the ironing she does

(sorry, if it doesn't follow on from the latest from the troll, William, but my computer doesn't show his posts as he is marked as "foe") so I have followed on from the lovely Damellon whose name ends the same way as "iron"!!!!!)

I see the troll, William, (you remember, the one who started off playing a character who was a harmless old buffer, then lost control and started drunken abuse, yes, that troll) has followed on my last haiku. Because he is marked as "foe" on my computer, I fortunately miss his words.

but I presume he wrote

"and makes it all nice
and lovely for me , when I drink
and drown my sorrows"

so I add

and drown my sorrows
by ironing hard as I can
happiness returns

love

Sue
yeah, well, errrrm, hum, yeah, ok, I dunno, articulation is not my fing, who cares, SHUT IT YOU MUPPET, blah blah blah

I see the troll, Sideways, (you remember, the one who started off playing a character who was a harmless old courtesan, then lost control and started sex-changing, yes, that troll) has followed on my last haiku. Because he is not marked as "foe" on my computer, I fortunately don't miss his words of deep and witty wisdom (American papers please copy).
But the wonderful thing is that SueMichael is so clever (and such a wonderful photographer) that he can "see" my words even when I don't write them.
But then you wouldn't expect any less from a man of the world ;-)
God bless,
William

quiet harmony,
peace and understanding and
love for all trans-kind

The infinite hike
up the mountain, shed no light
on his lost childhood
English, the language
what it means to me?
A key,
the Rossetta Stone of
poetry.

On his lost childhood
friend, he placed his best conker,
a shiny six-er.

A shiny sixer,
reminiscent of fivers
when they were fivers.

Is three glasses each
enough to soothe and revive
the weary spirit
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
