@iamsam82,
Don't forget to breathe
After you hit the water,
It's sink or swim time

@firefly,
It's sink or swim time .
Your small arms clutching my neck,
on tiptoe, slipping.

@Dutchy,
On tiptoe, slipping,
I manuever(e)d the sofa
across the ice rink.

@ossobuco,
across the ice rink,
I spotted your beautiful eyes,
looking at this man.

@Dutchy,
Looking at this man
For whom pain is a stranger,
I envy mirrors.

@iamsam82,
I envy mirrors
They catch what the eye can miss,
Or chose to ignore

@firefly,
Or choose to ignore
What's staring you in the face.
It's up to you now.

@chai2,
It's up to you know.
In real life I’d get blank stares,
here, you’re back for more.

@chai2,
No, I'll take just one,
Unless you are offering
Buy one get one free

@firefly,
But one, get one free -
double your pleasure and get
two red licorice.

(I'm so old that I remember penny candies in jars at corner stores)

@ossobuco,
two red licorice
wrapped 'round my lovers heart, the
black kinds bad for it.

@chai2,
That's actually interesting, chai.
Personally, I couldn't stand Good + Plenty candy, which is odd since I like fennel and anise and Sambuca, etc.

Back with a haiku effort.

Black kinds bad for it,
you know. Never mix molasses
with lemon cream sauce.


Where am I going with this? help! New ideas for the starter comment very welcome
