Here comes the New Year
Resolutions to be made
Hell, I'll Ignore 'Em!

The Wife's in a Funk:
Lots of Bills remain unpaid..
I guess I should care..


Let's end with A Laugh:
So, "Knock Knock,(Well) Who is There?"
(Nobody I've known..)

End of One-More-Year:
I'm A Walking-D.U.I.
(Time to sleep it off!)

Happy New Year,
Big Hugs,
Stan

Let's end with A Laugh:

(Nobody I've known..)

Is that known in the BIBLICAL sense, big StanLee?

Happy New Year & ROLL TIDE!!! (Coming on ESPN vs. Colorado Buffaloes in 10 minutes)

Ben

G'Mornin' Bro-ster!

What can I say...I've been too-faithful to be A Wild-&-Crazy Guy for Some Time Now...(Much as I do enjoy reminiscin' a Wee-Bit about the Bad Ol' Daze...)

Here's an Ol' Guy's Almost-Haiku for the Day Ahead..heh!

'Day After New-Year's
& Throughout our small house
Tired Party-goers had best "Shut-Yo'-Mouth!"

Happy Hangover, Amigo,
& Best to Ya in '08, Buddy!
Big Guy-Hug,
Stan

Haven't had coffee
Can't count the syllables
So that one had six.


Good morning

It's been snowing all night here in Vermont so I'll give this a try:

lightly falling snow
soft white blanket of silence
till an owl hoots

(unless owl is only one syllable then it would be: until an owl hoots)

Take Care,
Rick

That's nice and cozy, GB. Think owl is 2 syllables in most parts of the country. Of course, if you wanted to set up the nice imagery and then destroy it with bathroom humour, you could have it as:

lightly falling snow
soft white blanket of silence
till a moose poots

lol Ben,

if I saw a moose
I'd get my rifle and shoot
they taste very good

Hey boys,

Thought I'd pop in for a sec....know the Brattleboro area very well, Goldenbird....drove that 91 a million times it seems...

Anyhoo, here are my thoughts on the aforementioned moose:

If I saw a moose
I would take comfort knowing
It weighed more than me

or

Hunting for pleasure?
Just say "I coulda shot ya"
The sport's in the chase.

Anyhow, off to la la land. This 2008 is killing me, man!!

Happy New Year!!

Ciao for now,
Beth

If hiaku is art
also form of poetry
why's it so easy?

Yesterday all my
troubles seemed so far away
oh I believe in

Fish in pond swimming
baited hook is now waiting
Fish fry for supper

Penquins sure can't fly
Niether can ostritches fly
Must be too heavy

Violence on TV
Takes young innocence away
We should pull the plug

Everyday I wake
Except for one coming day
Then I'll sleep no more

Whether Democrat
Or they be republican
I don't trust either

Soft gentle breezes
Through Euclaylptus branches
Brings thoughts of spring time

One more then I go
Is I'll one or two silly's
If two then I'll change

Derek

Whether I'll is one
Or two syllables depends
On where y'all are from

Joe

I'll take that under
Consideration then joe
thanks for the info

Seventeen silly
Bulls, three lines, and one rider
Sounds like rodeo

Joe

sake on your lips
undulates gracefully in
the ambulance light

This cold weather sucks
Pretty snow doesn't cut it
Ice ain't fun neither

But snow ice cream, Beth
Aspartame and fat-free milk
Choose any flavor

Go for it Tricia
They can be fun or thoughtful
Easy either way

Calvin might like these
He could write a whole new song
Using just three lines

One, two, three, I'm thru
It's eleven twenty two
Catch ya tomorrow!



xoxo
Beth

Country song haiku
Very, very hard to do
Got to make rhyme, too.

Joe

© words by C. Stewart ( Jan 5, 2008 )

Daggers in your breath
Is mankinds devestation
Hate times hate is death

Math that's never new
The perfect calculation
Love times love is two

Okay, Cal, now you're just showing off.

I KNEW you'd be all over this format.

You've managed to put in the whole story....sad commentary about the world, with a whiff of hope at the end.

PLUS, they're a great quick mental exercise, in between full-blown lyrics...WIN-WIN.

(See, that wasn't so scarey, was it? )

Beth

All right, I found one of mine:


slipping away
(c) Linda P. Adams

we move on through time
slipping through and between its
liquid silk edges


I have some sillier ones somewhere that I wrote when I was sick once and craving hot Jell-O in a mug. If I find it... I'll post.

Linda

Nver written haiku before...
So, heres a first attempt (be nice :))

You told me dreams mean something
I dreamt I saw you
Dancing in the purple rain

OH and, I LOVE yours Linda!!! It gives such a wonderful image!

Ettie

First Love

She floats on your promises
Dances on your dreams
Her skies are paved with ideas

This haiku thing is a little addictive!!

Haiku way too much fun
Way too short--when one is done
Must write 'nother one.

Joe

Quick way to say, "Hello, Joe"
Postcards from the edge
Quicker than Pony Express

Here Comes The New Year:
Three-Hundred and Sixty-Five
Broken Resolu (tions!)

I Like The Police
Especially When One Says
"I have The HANDCUFFS"...

I Gave Her My Heart
"Handle-with-Care" I told Her
(NEXT-Time: "BUBBLEWRAP".)

She Loves like a Squid:
A Control-Freak, 8-Arms-Strong
Squeezing Out My Ink


God I Believe-In
Doesn't Look a BIT like Me:
(She's Still Evolving)

Yes, We Have Problems:
You Won't Listen to Me &
I've Nothing to Say

We Quest for Beauty:
You Like to Probe My Soul's Depths
I Settle for Thighs

Here We Are Again:
SHOULD Sweep You Up in My Arms
But I've Gotta Pee...

I Like Fresh Popcorn
& It's EXTRA Fun When My
Cat Thinks It Wants Some.

Haikus Get Boring
Guess I'll Turn On The TV
& Get Me a Life!

Uh Ben

I think we are losing format here! I counted 19 silly's I think some have switched to 7 5 7 instead of 5 7 5
Derek

yuck another year
What happened to the last one?
I need some more sleep

Volkswagens on ice
Not a show disney puts on
Fun to watch it though

Pigeons ate my brain
And even though it's now gone
They are stil hungry

Violent pixels
Blood gore on nineteen inch screen
Computer games kill

News commentary
Filled with wrong speculations
It's the New York Times

Shave and a haircut
Two bits sounds a trifle small
How bout ten dollars?

Shave and a haircut
Two bits? I think from now on
I go your barber.

Joe

A japanese poem
filled with detailed images
in precise format

Putting so much thought
To seventeen sylables
Not an easy task

This one is for Derek:

Salem, Oregon...
such a small world isn't it?
the paper plant stinks

Hey Jack

You bout summed that one up to a tee. The paper plant maybe closing from what I hear. The city of Salem wants to turn it into a park. I used to work for boise at the corrugated plant. We did deliveries all the time to fine paper. And yeah it stinks rofl. Yes a small world tis. Got one for ya too

Guitar playings cool
Whether one or two capo's
Always a good time

Ok time for a few more

Apathetic muse
Gets lost after jumping tracks
five dollar reward

When you were young and
Your heart was an open book
Say live and let die

Blood sucking vampires
Draining your life force away
I.R.S Agents

Takes one trigger pull
To change a life forever
Use fire arms with care

Father, son, spirit
Unity in trinity
God so loved the world

majestic oak tree
your leaves covering the ground
Like a persian rug

Glass is half empty
How do I know this is true?
I drank more than half

Poetic movement
Dance of metal and rubber
It's Nascar racing

Done for now
