Gerard Keogh Jr. Poet Haiku

Forlorn Ice Slit Bedroom

Haiku  Straying Husband

forlorn ice slit bedroom
frail flower between your legs...
ardor expires

Tanka   Stay At Home Wife

hours ravage ardor
supple sin envelopes grey
thick belly obscures
erotic athletes wrestle
loyalty in lieu of love

James Peranteau March 10, 2011 at 8:25 AM This is a terrific entry Dear poet ! This write fills the brain Gerard ! Get rid of that period, and this write will go some where ! *smiles* Have a great day Sir....much love, james

Carolyn Devonshire March 8, 2011 at 12:40 PM After a couple ha been together for years, the ardor is often replaced by loyalty. Not a bad thing really. There's a lot of truth in this amazing poem, Gerard. Wishing you success in Deb's contest. Love, Carolyn

Debbie Guzzi March 8, 2011 at 6:36 AM me still sees a period!!

Andrea Dietrich March 7, 2011 at 10:56 PM Oh,my, this one I found humorous (in a way that only the older folks can appreciate). I think neither one of us was doing real love talk with ours. hahaha. (just sick of love talk!) Sure hope this one does well and thanks for your kind comments. I enjoy your poetry mucho!
