Haiku Friday: Sick. And Tired.
Written by
washwords on September 26, 2008 – 2:40 pmCough cough cough cough cough.
Coughity cough cough, cough cough.
Cough cough cough. COUGH COUGH!
Debate? No debate?
Candidates love and love not
Lets get it started.
Metro whistlers, SHHHH!
Sometimes I wake up grumpy,
sometimes let him sleep
“solved.” without mccain.
it’s raining in washington
since obama left
snowdrifts of paper
email, voice-mail, lists to do
how to shovel out
and yet, even here,
even now, with so much flux
there is peace. in love.

Haiku Friday: The Campaign Edition
Written by
washwords on August 29, 2008 – 10:33 amDisclaimer: These are non-partisan haikus, just observations of things I saw at the conventions
Campaign conventions
better than olympics, yes?
or is that just me?
VP announcement
on its way, remember folks
all “girls” not the same
Let the sunshine in
“Believe me, if I were prez
things would be different”
I want a prez for
Barney Smith not Smith Barney
wow. Barney seems nice
Wolf Blitzer, really?
“Heh, I used to play keyboard.”
click, ahh, P.B.S.

Green (it’s not easy being)
Written by
washwords on July 9, 2008 – 5:34 pmGreen. Green is lush, rich, rolling meadow morning softness. Green is enviro -friendly, future-oriented, the color of money, the color of life, of springtime, gems - emerald , malachite, jade.
Photo “Please don’t move” by Zespira L. on Flickr
But green is deep, sneaky, possessive, emerald powerful jealousy.
Green is the dark hate I feel for girls who get to wear short skirts without puffy ankles or knees.
Green is someone else getting the call, the moment, the power.
Green is the sickening despair of not being noticed, not being enough, not mattering.
Green is stronger, less forgiving then blue.
It cannot see its dewy deep beauty, which is too bad. Strong as it is, it could be so much stronger, if it could see.
Green. Green has so much.
