Dear
single guys,
open a pet shop
that just sells kittens,
and let the single
ladies come
to you
Hop ahead, hop behind
Hop sideways, perhaps rewind
Matters only what you find
in the melody of your mind
He slapped her and her head whipped sideways.
The door slams shut after the confessional and before the pearly gates.
If you want to pursue it,
don't do it like a crab might do it
when he walks or works or plays,
always doing it sideways.
Picasso Vs. Matisse
You're Looking At Me
Sideways
But I'm Just Trying To
Catch The Drift.

A Hat is a Personality
Tip it forward, graciously
Angle it sideways, rakishly
~ Tilt its brim back, thoughtfully
Step sideways
looking back over your shoulder.
No one follows.
The path we lay in life
is ours alone
and No One follows.
blaring music everywhere
noise all around and sideways
even blue venusians
stop up their ears and pray
to the gods for lullabies
Ears
I can extend sideways my
too small ears to
my door, but I can’t
quite reach
the lock. That’s quite
disappointing.
Elevator moves sideways
The pickles are dry
The butter is hard
The cornbread has too much sugar
And now it’s a cake
Bluebird, when you flew in the air,
you made me happy singing there -
but now, you don't make a sound,
lying sideways on the ground.
Snow falls,
drifts in the wind
slides sideways to the ground
like feathers in a pillow fight
fluffy.

Tectonic plates shifting
Ground moves violent sideways
Motions stop earth calm

He shoplifts a little speck of gold

Lets go in parallel
Sideways look is bearable
Lest we slow in series
Or turn into a salt pillar
From frequent look backs
So lets go in parallel
It was one of those
mornings when rain poured sideways...
horizontal blinds.
It was a happy
morning when flowers awoke...
springtime explosion.
Grandpa, this is really neat ~
So this car's going to drive sideways?
Fix all my toy cars !

broadsided
emotional
collision
forcefully
pushed
sideways
when it
hit the heart
indiscriminately
resulting in
an emotional
eruption
flotsam, jetsam days
unafraid of ocean's sprays
crabs sidle sideways
subtle smile on lips
the sideways tilt of her head
my world is perfect
For James Edward Lee Sr’s “Haiku, I love U’ Contest.”

Pretty princess accordion playing clown
Skips her truth sideways and upside down
I watch her sprinkle joy all over town
Glad that no one else can keep her down.
Black cow in green field
One eye to sky, one on ground
Through rusty red gate
Knelt with neck sideways
Reaching extending pink tongue
For tall greener grass
love is a roller-coaster ride,
ups, downs and sideways,
hanging on for dear life,
feeling on top of the world,
exhilaration at the acme,
de-sizzling on the decline
Peacock
Twirling violet
Sideways sizes
His rival.
Jungle rumba
royal headdress
Bobbing in unison

This is a Septolet but the correct form isn't available
Form:
colors tilt sideways
warping into shapes that talk
here mirrors melt into thought
time folds in on itself
you have entered the Twilight Zone.
