Haiku I've written on selected subjects

Cats

cats mewl at the door
out then in then out again
forgetting it's cold

snoozing by my side
yet alert to all nearby
quite ready to pounce

begging for more food
given some, then rejection
stuck up nose and tail

lying on his back
purring as his belly's rubbed
bites at me then runs

ignored me all day long
midnight's here, it's time to sleep
now he wants petting


Snow

from the snow will grow
a garden of chairs and cones
now it's my space, mine

quietly falling
a blanket of puffy snow
the pace of life slows

hoped for puffy snow
light and easy to shovel
got wet and heavy

shoveled out the space
now it's mine and mine alone
even when I'm out

the snow piles linger
making driving and parking
not very much fun


Retail

I only wore it once
And I'm a good customer
Let me return it

please let me come in
I know you're about to close
how does high-def work?

working Christmas time
six days, seventy hours
customers want thanks

product fine in store
but it didn't work at home
very frustrating


Birds

wild turkeys attack
gobbling and pecking - it hurts!
I need pepper spray


Cape Breton's Bras d'Or
bald eagles soaring above
soon becomes humdrum


whistling in the house
red cardinal flying around
my cat brought it in


Gardening

bare spot in the spring
where a costly plant had been
was fine in the fall!

May disappointment
the rhododendron buds were
eaten by squirrels

expensive iron fence
keep the garden free of dogs
leash laws made it moot

weeping larch in front
supposed to be six feet tall
became a shade tree

resod the whole lawn
mow and rake and fertilize
mostly clover now

in front of the house
the dogwood has anthracnose
still blooms ten years later

wooley adelgid
winter moth, aphids, beetles
lovely, despite all


Christmas

expensive tree bought
decorated with great care
January, it's mulch

shopping for nice gifts
fighting traffic and long lines
more lines for returns

another party
so much cheese and cake and wine
next year - lose the weight

our beautiful tree
with cats and loving sweetheart
a merry Christmas


Poetry readings

poets read their works
later, discussion and food
chapbooks for sale here

the poets gather
reading snippets of their lives
for all to ponder

in front of the room
life's images are murmured
hoping for an aaaaahhh


Nature

storms, drought, quakes, and more
Mother Nature can be an
abusive parent


Winter solstice

The days grow shorter
and yet, they're still much longer
than in Spitzbergen


Haiku

five syllable lines
surrounding one of seven
nature's enigmas

what was I thinking
reading in the freezing cold
haikuthermia


Pornography

Sexy videos
Caressing, kissing, licking
I want to cum hard

Sex with hot partners
Orgasms feel really good
Paycheck is nice, too

Some say, "You'll go blind"
I don't care, it feels so good
Cumming!..... I can't see!!


XH

Came here for the porn
Found a universe of friends
Mostly chat, not watch

Some comments are dumb
Many are most insightful
I reply to most

Invites from strangers
We have no common interests
Can't they read my wall?
