Let the dice decide:
there are so many combos
of points of view now.
Of points of view now
I prefer the London Eye.
All London, spread out.
All London, spread out
Like a feast to devour
I will glut myself
I will glut myself
Now on Toulouse sausages
And new potatoes.
And new potatoes
Finally ending her list
Husband long turned deaf
husband long turned deaf
she enlisted for sign language
on to new ventures she went
Husband long turned deaf
ear toward her pleas for dinner
out on her birthday.
Proudly, it's a 5-7-5 syllable haiku...
On to new ventures
she went merrily downstream,
looking for small fish,
looking for small fish
to fry in a dry frying pan
when up came the storm
When up came the storm,
Bellowing in my ear, and
Raining swords and spears.
Raining swords and spears
came down the clouds full of cats
and puppy dog's tails.
and puppy dogs' tails
and spotted and frail
bring that hammer, lets nail
5 7 5
Bring that hammer, let's
nail the tarp to the table
and bring chips and dip.
bring that hammer
a new home for us to make
warm against winter
warm against winter
the fire heart kept them
waiting to exhale
Waiting to exhale
until my dear mother left
poor smoke-filled, tight lungs.
poor smoke-filled, tight lungs
will be the death of me
alas! we must die of something...
proudly belizean
the last line is supposed to have only 5 syllables...
Alas we must die
Gaudeamus Igitur
Dum spiro spero
Dumb Spiro Spero
trod on my Enzo platforms.
I can not forgive.
What's with many people not doing 5-7-5 (syllables)? Did I miss a rules change?
