Brokeback Haiku
« on: March 31, 2006, 05:32:30 am »
I looked and can't see a haiku thread here yet.  Here are three that were posted in the last hour on IMDb:

Is this a good place for haikus? Or isn't anyone interested anymore?

Old ones:

ageless auto crank
atop a cooking fire--an
old thing; older use

he beats his lover's
shirt with a stick, an Asain
girl, the dawn of time

all that joy is for
making babies, you know--popes
tell us all about it

sleeping sheep after
snowfall, --white lumpy  blanket
covering cropped grass

_____________________________________
tangentially related

you are too kind, my
old, old friend, and you have such
a beautiful mouth

Speaking in this code
I've not broken--already
I've made a mistake

__________________________________________

I loved you, just as
my daughter loves--but somehow
I didn't see it.

_____________________________________________-
Brand new:
Guess Annie Proulx wants
me to save my tears for the
living and the dead

after 15 years
of dry eyes--I cry a lot
for reality

more "tangentials"


my colleague stretches
her hands over her head--her
brests flat as a boy's

Iwould like to run
my hands across her chest--
what a  new strange thing!!
