I can add one canoe
plus one canoe
But school did not prepare me for
one Peru plus one Peru
As more than a few
flew to Peru
to peruse the view
who knew
or had a clue
what a man's to do
in the cerulean blue
but stand in the queue
to use the loo
and if you go too
or tootle on through
in lieu of a zoo
you're due to accrue
sights of a llama or two
in Machu Picchu
Come and read poems with me by the fire.
One we engraved with our youthful bright eyes.
And age staunch landmark recites our choir.
Come and read poems with me by the fire.
On flame spire, let it rise and dance higher.
With fine meter and rhyme, poems will rise.
Come and read poems with me by the fire.
One we engraved with our youthful bright eyes.

mind your submissions
peruse haiga haiku ten wrong
could it be you
We perused our world...
Entirety all seasons..
...secured all doubt...
...Defender in all dreams...
Love wish...
Candle light beckoned our call...
Temperance no height eludes...
...This love immortal - potent...
...In tender moment fear rears its head...
...Gentle with reminder... instils love message...
...This love before us...we do understand...
...with loves riches...God himself has blessed...
...When you look into the dark...
...I will hold your hand...
...With this love before you...
...With this love beside you...
...With this love I understand...
