Reality-- be damned!



There's someone in the room
We don't speak to her
She's big
And she's ugly
We know she's here
We don't want to talk to her
We want her to leave but she won't
She doesn't say anything but we know
We ignore her
Talk all around her
Carefully, never referring
Always on the alert
She won't go away
She's here to stay
We're enured to her
But we don't feed her
Deal with her later
Ignore her at your peril
Reality be damned

Who I Am (Haiku)


Caterpillar now
Spinning spinning his cocoon
Then a butterfly

Ogres, Giants, Rivers, Chasms
The challenges of life

The Pool Playoffs (Haiku)


One needed to win

Safety, foul, then ball in hand

The hero du jour



Amour Disparate: He said; She said...(Haiku)


He said:
She was a tall one

Nose to nose my toes were in't

Toes to toes my nose


She said:
He was a tall one

Nose to nose between my feet

Toes to toes, oh dear

Friends Far Away (Haiku)


A Portuguese friend
Proud to say she reads my posts
So I'll keep writing

A Portuguese friend
Proud to say he reads my posts
So I'll keep writing

Whoever you are
Take your pick from the above
Sentiment's the same
