Horn Women Haiku
women in lobby
at hotel in Abu Dhabi
some knees are knobby
This is where women's
world conference is.
Jill Biden is in Africa.
have declared a truce
no longer women abuse
like lighting a fuse
received all our praise
they did leave us in a daze
women became craze
they need an excuse
let all of the women loose
Are in Women's who who's
women in the lead
about in the news will read
just who we do need
Russia myopic
uncanny catastrophic
terrible topic
Definitely material for
Poem of the Day (POTD).
Near Abu Dhabi, beauty queens
Must have expressive eyes.
Their droopy lips and shapely humps
Might help them earn a prize.
The competition’s very fierce;
Big bucks are the reward.
Contestants, in the thousands,
Strut around, appearing bored.
The winners, wearing necklaces
Designed to look like gold,
Bring honor to their owners
Right before each camel’s sold.
I thought I knew about camels
But then found out, that's not the case
I thought they had a hump or two
And that they might spit in your face!
They will only spit when threatened
So don't be acting all crazy
What actually threatens them though
Seems to be a little hazy
Translated "camel" means beauty
Their demeanor, I'd have to say
They graze and chew at the same time
Their mouth lets them do it that way
Their number of toes is even
All accounts are quick to point out
Obviously if that were not true,
It would be odd without a doubt!
Camels they say, are very sweet
Apparently their milk is too
You should try a camel milk shake
Like those in Abu Dhabi do!
So if you want one as a pet
Decide how many humps will do
One hump for you may suffice
I though, would prefer to have two!
We traveled,
Without a single word.
Left abroad, as all things that pass.
We were the only thing that furnished the space around us.
Without a single word.
We partook in sights that denounced us as things.
We soared as the clouds that journey through the sky.
We were the only things kept afloat.
An oasis in the desert of pillows where we rested our head.
Pleasant. Calm.
As we snorkeled into a deep sleep.
We partook in sights that denounced us as objects.
Faraway into the tourism which quinched our thirst.
As we never left our seat in the voyage of each other's eyes.
Without a single word.
We traveled.
Abu Dhabi that's where we'll go
always sunshine no rain no snow
frolic fun and lots of time
catch me up i'm behind
take you with me?
sure if you want to.
but don't dare to bring that laptop with you
