... 18 th century
couplets tie neat little bows
for us to laugh at.

Swift fist across face
Gets the point across, and yet--
Wishing for softness.

Asleep in a tent
Rain, hail, snow, end o' the world,
Don't care snuggled close.
... not nobody when in somebody's arms,  ain’t nowhere if somewhere with him.
My man who nothin ever came t’is hand the way he wanted.
‘Cause all he ever wanted was me.

Cowboys ride easy,
Till night falls, fire glows, friends love
All's right with the world.

... not nobody when in somebody's arms,  ain’t nowhere if somewhere with him.
My man who nothin ever came t’is hand the way he wanted.
‘Cause all he ever wanted was me.

Seeing new rider
Traipsing around haiku fields
Makes me happy, warm.

Welcome, jessiwrite, to our haiku thread!

What a cool welcome.
Saddle them Brokeback words up.
Ride sweet fields of love.

Welcome! It's always
good to have variety
in the witches' brew!

Sweet taste in spring grass.
Never be nothin as good,
'Cept sweet touch in snow.

Entering old tent
Seeking rest, pulling off boots
Hot bouquet of feet
