    my summer closet,
    shimmery dresses hang there,
    but nowhere to go.

    Anybody else? - got to be better than mine...

  • Fresh buds in springtime,
    Resplendent blooms in summer -
    Destined transition.

    Hi Judith,

    I really like your haiku. It works on at least two levels: as a nature poem when taken literally, and as a metaphor appropriate to it's TGS audience.

    Anyone else?

    Definitely not haiku:

    There was a young CD named Cass
    A footwear collection she amassed
    Till trying on a new shoe
    She was left black and blue
    When she tripped and fell on her ass.

    But this wasn't the end of Cass
    'cause she was a plucky little lass
    Being TG is making me wobbly
    So now I'll try a new hobby:
    Making fake nails from stained glass.

    Best,
    Melody

    Great thread, Melody. Haiku or not Haiku? That is the question...

    Winter's passing now,
    And Spring beckons a new life,
    Death: a transition.

    Much love

  • What is this haiku
    If only I understood
    Antarctic winter
    Just an ordinary girl finding her way in this strange life. - What will it take to get everyone to realise that everyone else is also a human being that deserves just as much respect? - How does someone tell their doctor they have hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia? - When I was a student I specialised in Alcopology. It always starts with Alco and always ends with pology. - Waiter! There's a hare in my rabbit pie!

    Summer hills turn tan,
    Dogs want to walk in the shade,
    Smart dogs, dumb human..

    Thanks Rae and Penny for sharing. Much love!

    Have no way to tell,
    Am I a boy or a girl,
    August, how to know?

  • Trapped in fear of hate
    Frozen Icicles thawing
    Warmth of dignity

    To live and grow true
    Human being realised

    Surely such a right
    Should not hinge upon the whim
    Of Diana Ross?

    Hi Judith,

    I knew someone would call me on that one when I wrote it, but the 5 syllable limit is a really hard, LOL I'll try to do better next time.

    But then, I think maybe Ballard, Wilson and Ross would be a more competent court than Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito.

  • There once was a young girl named Melody
    Who used to rhyme "hobby" with "wobbly"
    And when she said "Haiku"
    Her friend said "bless you",
    "Do think it will rain?"
    She said "pwobabway".

    Hi Judith.

    Thanks for the add. No problem about the haiku comment - I'm no poet and I know it.
    Mostly just keeping the Forum active so folks with more talent will use it when the muse comes to them.

    Best, Melody

    Oh yeah, wasn't Neil Young with them for a while? (that's gonna confuse some people - PM refused to let me reply directly to you.)

    Hi Marsha and Ursula,

    Thank you both for contributing to this thread. Fun to she how other's minds work when in creative mode.

    If more folks want to contribute, I won't feel obliged to attempt any more poetry, lol.

    Best,
    Melody

    Out of the ashes
    Of a wintry childhood past
    A phoenix rises.



    Thanks for keeping my
    Little writers home alive
    And well, Melody.

    :)

    Much love

    My collection of music
    It runs the gamut from Bach to Beach Boys
    Tunes you can hum and toons that bring back memories,
    I haven’t added to the collection, nothing new…
    I wonder whether I’m missing something, new and exciting.
    Jazz touches me deep in my soul but leaves me empty
    Wanting more.

    Feelings
    Physical feelings, mostly pain 
    Emotional feelings hidden, mostly pain
    Physical pain healed, mostly
    Emotional pain forgotten, sometimes remembered
    Remember the joy and not the pain
