Yes, no inspiration, I think it's this dreaded winter and all the bad things happening in the news and around the world.
Inspire me, my manic muse.
I slog through sloughs prosaic.
I need a jolt, a lightning bolt,
To startle me awaic.
George is a hard act to follow.
Spontaneous haiku, with two calembour:
Small pause in forest,
Dachshund traversing the snow
Long walk, short pee-er.
nature potions
april notions
walk in meadow
wet shadow
recedes
rain over
rife clover
face-on deer
bunny queer
high the weeds
I like "long walk, short pee-er"
Echoes the "take a long walk off a short pier" line.
I wonder if dachshunds like the snow?
ice relief is what I need:
golden sun tapping on a tree's new growth
flower buds glistening after a warm rain
children's laughing voices in the air
takes away a chilled refrain
February, unwelcome guest
Gloomy, windy, icy pest
Take your snow
And go
To answer George's question:
I had a dachshund who disliked the snow. She was a princess who hated getting her feet cold. One of my current dogs is a mix, a dachshund/terror...I mean, a dachshund/derriere... no, a dachshund/terrier! He's a brave little toaster who loves any kind of weather. Then again, he doesn't have the typical dachshund low to the groundness, so he doesn't have to worry about his equipment freezing unless the snow is really deep.
Embrace the clouds that hide the sun
Welcome cold, salute the gloom
Any climate is better than none
(But the winter sent by nuclear plume)
satellite dish
grant my wish
cupcake and oyster
star studded roster
remote in hand
beer in can
above the universe
a custom lighted star
glistens brighter than the others
and shines much more by far
As I look up to the semi-darkened sky
I find the glimmer there
while the moon peeks out a quarter turn
and shines its light somewhere
dream in welcomed hunger
gather all of winter's cache
smell sweet spring approaching
as if it were the last
hippo loves turtle
elephant loves ant
my old aunt myrtle
loves potted plant
the turtle wore a girdle
to look so very thin
while the hippo underwent lippo
to lose its second chin
roses are red
hippos are fat
turtles wear shells
where's felix the cat
We're back!
