Trees kissed by cold lips
Stripped down to naked branches
Mother Nature's snub...

Shackles chafe wrists ruby.
Bars break-up summer skies.
Sentries snub a pained plea.
“I’m innocent” chained cries....

Aggressive
Snub burns me deep -
Your roll away from
Me blistering,
While I

Come down gingerly.
The deep snow is melting.
Will wait at pass.

It was a toxic
snub unintentional.
Growing poppies.

The thinker thinks not;
in the poem of terror,
the blood will spill.

He who gives to another
       takes the greater reward
     Give whatever you can
       a poor man a snub can't afford

     Seek opportunities for giving
       They're yours for the taking
     One kindness leads to another
       ~ There's no mistaking...

Your slanting smile 
like a pendant-moon 
ready to collapse 
on pomegranates.

*

Monstrous, bug-eyed, 
my pug will jump; 
whenever, I touch 
his snub-nose.

Death was sparring 
after a brief encounter. 
What was the need 
for living more ?

A tub of yoghurt,
That's been too long on the shelf.
Has lost some flavour,
Time has caused this stealth.
The price reduced
On this sorry tub
Feeling lonely and abused
As passing shoppers snub
This yoghurt, past its use-by date
That was wanting to be purchased
Before it is too late....

pain and anguish pours through the heart
when they compare thy art;
smiling across the lament 
when they snub your latent talent,
they cannot procure the nectar 
by peeling petal by petal
sepal by sepal,
can only be snuck up by a bee.
All are bright consummate flowers 
yet they smell disparate....

who touch me 
with out me 
giving permission

rub on my body 
and had my nerve's 
twitching 

jump on my 
bed 
and took turns 
just kicking

snub on probaly 
when the bird 
was cooking in the kitchen

hail cover the ground 
as hell 
bubble in side

shelled under 
the town 
as shells 
stumble 
my pride...

You give me dirty little looks.
Run away when you see me as if I was contaglous.
There's nothing wrong with being a single mother.
It's just bad choice in a lover,
that left me mother and father.
It's nothing to be ashame of.
So I keep my head up,
and smile at all the fools that snub,
their noses at me.
New's flash being single not a bad thing!...

The small hippopotamus

Has taken his grandmother's glasses,

Has taken his father's hat and scarf,

And a portfolio his uncle's briefcase.

He put all of the clothing on himself,

          Picked up the briefcase, 

has looked in a mirror,

Has scratched his own snub-nosed nose 

and said, "Well, now I am grown up!"

("Well, now I am an adult!)...

'Quite easy to stand tall'
Less breezy to start the talk.
Tale to tale, the old stalk
Same old same old, it starts to suck.
Suck you have to suck
'Remember, the old sees with no buck'.
How easy standing tall?
When we sit while you talk.
Too tall could be a snub,
Too talk turns a pub.
Your whining, to our tall, a hub.
Quite easy to stand tall
When yours never stand to stall....

You’re a devil in disguise
Yeah, your cruelty I despise
That fur coat is just your guise
I can see it in your eyes

With a snobby little hiss
You will snub away my kiss
Like a shadowy abyss
You will steal away my bliss

I can feel your icy glare
In the shadows as you stare
Reach to pet you, I don’t dare
For your patience is so rare

But tomorrow’s a new day
Maybe it’ll be okay
My bad luck will go astray
And together we will play...

Start from you bathtub, 
Next, sweet creams to rub
But skin first towel, 
This handling quite well,
On one’s face powder 
For praises louder…

Then, your clothes put on 
Besides your slip-on, 
Fast, good belt fasten 
But you don’t this hasten 
And skip a sewn hold,
As though one is old…

From your used bath tub
To your enthused club 
Some food better grub 
Against a hubbub… 

In a vulgar club 
They do eaters snub....

Be a good wife, and a loving mother;
Of your own troubles, don't give a bother.

Manage your family, make time for them;
Even when they snub you, be their best chum.

Give them unflinching support and respect;
The same in return, don't you dare expect.

In order to maintain family peace,
Just don't give your mind-voice, any release. 

Don't break down, whatever life throws at you -
Because that is what we are told to do....

HUNTER
H efting rifles or their bows the warriors gather for their hunt--
U nder tents they find repose and plan their early morning jaunt.
N othing new—this stalking craft --where meat is taken for their clan,
T here have always been brave hands that find the food since time began,
E ver have they risked their lives tho' had some fun while they were out--
R adicals may snub their nose--- but hunger’s what it’s all about.

I want like I need
more takes the lead
and I follow in
this hollow sin
making all desire
the healthy fire

I want like I need
water feeds the seed
and running for
what I implore
I go past plenty
and snub the bentlee

I want like I need
for the cravings bleed
battered callous feet
struggles muscle's meat
extra not enough 
is hoarding stuff

I want like I need
constant hungers feed 
nothing to suffice
wanting rolls the dice
so that having heals 
or so it feels...

Now here's a sweet little ditty
About a hungry cute kitty
She can’t get enough
Of that yummy stuff
She’s fat and she’s oh, so pretty!

This Kitty just loves a good rub
all over, but more on the nub
So pet her just right
She’ll purr day or night
Caresses...this kitty won't snub

If kitty’s not fed right away
Then pussycat’s grumpy all day
You'd better not tease
Just feed her, now please
And enjoy this kitty at play! ;)

How Many Syllables Verified

Brief explanations; 
The golden or gold snub-nosed monkey is a pet. As pets they are playful, smart, affectionate.
This animal has a range of unusual vocal styles including a howl or a whine.
As a primate it can endure harsh winters in Asia which explains my use of artic and icecap in the overall haiku sequence.
Broadleaf as in broadleaf tree....

Early dims the light, bub ...
its stupor late upstairs — 

Passion watered down

Wrong digits flirtini sip given,
gave you the last call snub

Jukebox jilted sound

Cabaret musical chairs,
bubbly dreams in a hot tub

Heart spinning around

Bleary ayes get a nay rub;
write finger, disconnect living

Club Xit underground

Party over, bub-bye ... 
plenty Queen of diamond stares

Empty promises found

Lonely hearts lip tango in pairs,
but only one will cry...

Frequent surfacing in night club
And the Lion sprouts from a cub
Soon, you cease to be submissive:
Life begins to be permissive.
With others you may shoulders rub
Sometimes, sincere courtesies snub.
A used-to-be-meek aggressive,
At inconstancy progressive....

In night clubs be sure of hubbub,
The filthiest thoughts served perfumed dub
Yet, life here should be extensive;
Clubs heal could The Hypertensive:
Others are asleep you are awake
And, for the fun of it, sometimes rake....
