No, actually the quirks are part of me upgrading WordPress and validating the site. (=
Also, the Theme Switcher plugin is being grumpy so you cannot automatically switch themes. After clicking the theme name, you’ll need to then click the Home link to set the new theme.
There is a local haiku contest going on and I’d like to participate. Entrants can send up to 4 haiku. Please review the haiku here and vote for your favourite!
Also, one more haiku for your enjoyment and consideration:
“All you need is love”
The Beatles sang years ago
Today it’s still true
a familiar tune plays in the back of her mind
a song from a far away place and a far away time
and though she cannot places its name
she knows it, hums along anyway
she can try but inside she knows
she’ll never forget all her sorrows
hidden from thought, they always reappear
next time, she vows, to bury them deeper
a soft, summer scent carried on the breeze
and his mind becomes ill at ease
wrapped up tightly in a lover’s embrace
he barely remembers her angel’s face
he can try but inside he knows
he’ll never forget all his sorrows
hidden from sight, they always reappear
next time, he vows, to bury them deeper
a lone shot rings out somewhere in the dark
so abrupt it nearly stops his heart
his pulse quickens and his vision turns red
a memory of one who should still be dead
he can try but inside he knows
he’ll never forget all his sorrows
in the middle of the night, they always reappear
next kill, he vows, he’ll bury him deeper
you can try but inside you know, I know
we can never forget our sorrows
hidden as they may be
they come back to haunt me
never knowing then they’ll reappear
next time, I vow, I’ll bury them deeper
to wake up next to you
your familiar weight pressing against me
reminding me of your presence
and, somehow, reassuring me of your love
is the best of all dreams
thunder and lightning
booming and flashing as two
lovers orgasm
love is blind they say
but my eyes see you clearly
as never before
I wrote the majority of these at work out of boredom in a matter of minutes. I think I have a knack for this sort of thing. I always found myself able to be formulaically creative and that is exactly what haiku is.
curled up in a ball
fluffy love in orange and white
purring in content
darkened lips and eyes
cynical and beautiful
so this is gothic
he died on the cross
for our immoral lifestyle
how can you forget?
picture perfect scene
of deep blues and curly q’s
my little sister
descended from space
destructive yet cute and blue
who doesn’t love stitch?
vocal cords are stretched
emitting a perfect note
angles sing along
she appears again
blushing red and short of breath
wonder where she’s been?
ink stains on paper
art, some say but I don’t see
I’ll stick to portraits
symphonies will play
works of beloved Mozart
he will go unmatched
green boughs bend downward
reaching to the ground below
too many winters
a young bride looks up
as her young groom says “I do”
will this be the one?
the pursuit of love
neverending fairytale
I don’t believe it
the wind blows my hair
across my eyes and I don’t
see you standing there
mother used to say
men chased their little white balls
she never liked golf
distant shores do call
my heart yearns for them once more
so very far away
white tipped waves rise up
and crash down upon the beach
devastatingly
hot summer nights are for
sleepless lovers embracing
one another’s heart
a story of love
triumphing over evil
reunited souls
three years, seven days
six hours, forty one nights
until I am free
roaming hands across
the landscape of my body
all of me is yours
ladies of the world
with hearts and minds both broken
you will love again
green eyes peering out
onto a cold gruesome world
does hope yet exist?
bubbles rising up
to roll across the surface
time to add noodles
thunder claps above
an ominous sign that he
is coming for us
hearts beating as one
while we lie together here
love is such a rush
dark hair falls astray
as a charming smile disarms
will you marry me?
polar bears will drown
as ice continues to melt
global warming: death
thunder and lightning
crashing and striking as two
lovers orgasm
moistened flesh awaits
sensed heightened to the max
touch me with your love

we lay motionless beneath the stars
where i told you of my deepest scars
I wanted to flee or cower in shame
but you remained and took it all in
you stayed, still, when I ventured into darker, deeper territory
my blood ran cold as I waited,
the shadows dancing across your skin
and obscuring any traces of what lay within
so scared was I, I could have wept
but you remained and took it all in
my hair you caressed
my tears you wiped away
I could smell your aftershave as you leaned in
and your lips tasted sweet
you stilled my racing heart with a touch
and gently pulled yourself inside my shell
I showed you all the layers beneath
piece by piece, bit by bit
the walls came down
slowly at first
and then it seemed as though my life were careening
a roller coaster out of control
out of my control
falling apart faster than I could comprehend
but you remained and took it all in
you held me close as tear started anew
and in those moments
I knew I would drown
but your mouth met mine once again
and there was air
I breathed again
I breathed you in
and I know that you would remain
and take it all in
scratch
not much
just enough to draw
the blood
again, not much
just enough to know I’m
alive
ice
to number the burning pain
but it stings instead
the flesh
swollen and red
just enough to remind
me that the pain is real
just enough to make me
feel
just enough to make me
hurt
-myself
-just
-enough
-to know
I-
breathe-
just enough
to do it all
again (not much)
you wrap your arm around me
like you are superman and i am Lois Lane
and we are soaring
high above Metropolis
in the night sky
oblivious to the laws of gravity
as the people are oblivious to us
I can almost see
the stars and the lights
blinking out below
I can feel the air around us,
wind working against us
it’s chilly – reminiscent of winter time at home
and it burns my cheek a rosy tint
as my hair flies over my eyes
and for an instant I am blinded
panic wells in my stomach
but then I remember
that your arm is still around me
like you are Superman
