I notice him as he went through the
song list. He wanted someone to
perform "One Woman Man". Now
knowing what we do about this type of
music we knew it would be a troublesome bunch.
Getting it right and real. Most of these people
would rather hear' Whore Pour Rannuna"
sounds strange but Sweekey Loves Meaty
and Meaty don't jive like that.
You are
I speak such about you
on Your Behalf
And Jealous Lover
are some favorites
they are quite costly meaning
it takes an orchratra to perform
only two of these sound right with a band.
Every thing we do has insisipation
and
Needing it in the Night
can have band performances
with some badass background singers
"Je veux chanter celle-ci.
and the controvesa
'"Dos Juxes is sloppy"
a pettion went out
for a group of magizine to
claim
and recognize the reigns of
g. Valintine def. B Backland
Ted Dibaisise defeats Andre the Giant
via Andre pins hoag and passes the belt
The change winds blow,
Goodbye, brightest snow.
Hello, warmer days,
Crisp mornings and sun rays.
Seems an Ice Age past
Since we saw each other last.
And did you bring anything
'Cept this urge to sing?
You were never good
At wrapping gifts,
As you knew it would;
It makes my spirits lift.
Tied in ribbon, bound with string,
I can already tell,
With cheering bell,
It's spring.
Window showcases bountiful falling snow.
A childlike pleasure overcomes my convalescing heart.
Winter blessings at their finest.

I have much hope for the fresh new year,
yet I bring into it, a heavy broken heart
My steps are slow and burdened,
and my mind is fogged with grief
But I have hope that God will carry me
until I am able to walk on my own
Strings of melody
that I had woven
long back in time
I had begun...
It was entirely
my own composition
I had deeply thought
through every transition
It was almost as if
close to perfection
but never could I reach
to its completion
I tried every possibility
to make it happen
until I met someone
all of a sudden
The person was God's
divine creation...
In the simplest way
with a delicate touch
keen observation
and a more deeper connection,
was able to reach
to its conclusion
So, the strings that we
had together woven
was heard by many
and returned with appreciations!
fourth of July T-rex was carrying fireworks for the park
They would all be lit in a specific order after it got dark
People were seated on blankets, whispering about this lark.
Luckily, they did not see T-rex, as the park was so dark.
he sits in front of us with his family
nice touch but then it is evident from
his long pig face
that there; has been some foul play
the sweet woman welcomes us before
proceedings with a monologue of length
i stare at the seat in front of me
cake wasted and my wife brings a Coca Cola
the bloke is the first to applaud
the introduction with idiotic enthusiasm
and his son notices and they high-five
i should have brought nunchucks
the second half is boring
white bread stuff
my son is asleep
yawntastic
never move your eyebrows when talking
her arms were out
she was on her tippy toes
spinning and giggling
the rest of us could not stop smiling
her cheeks were pink
she was giddy with happiness
exuding joy onto the rest of us
me anyway
I felt like I had just been bathed in sunlight
angels were surely here now
she was three, the perfect age
to bring joy to the reunion
On the floor, off the mat
We all sat, slept & ate
Flooring of mud but broom laid
Cream of cow dung applied.
Life was simple though not smooth
Bit of course with pins and needles
All of it took years of strain &pain
To have a floor of cement paste
Life became a little fine
With no fear for straw/ pine or rain.
After long years of earnings and savings
Came a glossy floor of mosaic
Squares of many laid across
Life began to show finesse and patio
With dearness and dare to dream
Aloof came a wind of betterment
Which brought with it a
Reflection of steps of success
A smooth finish of marble floor
Start of prosperity and a sign
Of sapling growing into a plant.
Attaining a growth visibly and not
Easy adding in an element of luxury
In the marble floor
By
Bringing in a sofa made of velvet
Like a beautiful craving brought out a Rough stone
Hard work ways
Patience pays is what
Life says.
We are bringing mama flowers, high ho, high hay!
Two woodsy bunny sisters were excited and happy today.
Purple posies were out, ready to be given away.
Mama was thrilled with this lovely gift for her birthday.
He said he was bringing her plaid flowers today.
Pandas exaggerate, right? I said to Aunt Fay.
Not this one, he is pretty level-headed and true.
Okay, I said but plaid flowers make sense to you?
I am just saying he has been totally honest, she said.
He comes over every morning at six to be fed.
Why don’t you stick around and you can see for yourself.
Panda walked in that moment and put plaid flowers on the shelf.
Where did you get those? I asked him, with enormous eyes.
Down at the Chinese market, he said. “No big surprise.”
They have everything down there. Give me a request if you want.
I liked him immediately, but went with him to market so I too could hunt.
Trump has been breaking laws
create and cause crime with his claws
prefers premiers and skinny shahs
rile up people with his paws
likes pulling at loose straws
at his hamburger always knaws
likes women who wear big bras
have heard his oohs and aahs
Trump gives me the blahs
have heard his youthful ye's with horrible hahs
prefers hearing much applause
poor and dimwit crowds Trump draws
putrid picture he draws
sings do ray mes while forgetting his faas
skip so la ti do and away we go
cut great face which was greeted with gauze
found his big mouth in front of jaws
like big bird Trump constantly caws
seen slidding in nude in slick spas
plural of his ta is tas
would see His lost doll while in shower stall in urban sprawl
wish Trump would be so kind, get his small hands off of my behind
To see Trump tight bra she was bringing; Out big breasts did start springing
You have to send me some comments, criticism
and complaining about this collection of lines
that have been in my Horn Horrible Haiku.
which you may ensue out from a blunt blue.
Distinguished cobra with a top hat and tux
You are such a gentleman to all these ducks
They are being called, there is a big influx
Because they love what you do, these happy ducks.
Why do you like these quackers so?
Because they follow you to and fro?
Or because they bring the frogs from way below
I hear that you like munching on them starting at their toe.
The night shift…
working in anonymity
semi-detached
Finding a hidden
emptiness
blinding daylight always hides
Tying up the
looser ends
of conscious dislocation
Bringing you back
inside yourself
through darkness circumscribed
(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)
You would think
something would be there,
rattling in your brain,
worth writing down.
And you would be wrong.
Chills in waves,
sinuses are raw,
pressure on the eyes,
cicadas buzz the ears
in a monotone song.
Pushing text around,
edits here and there,
delete key winning out,
nothing very strong.
Drag myself outside,
Missy needs a walk,
living in the moment,
bringing me along.
