A new year - some more haiku dumps.
2 Jan 2013

Ah palpitations
Better than alternatives
Pupils get larger

23 Dec
 "These are not the droids"
Boredom canceled by haiku

Moved along by words

21 Nov
World myopia
Short sighted 'solutions'
To long term problems


I see it at home

No plan beyond the next months
Shoot in the moment

Cost of land assault
Exorbitant for young lives
Lack of clear vision

Don't blame religion
Blame perversions of belief
Cynical usage

That peaceful future
Surrender fear, anger, blame
For prosperity


19 Nov
More than a decade
Daily rockets disrupt life
Southern Israel
---
Hardly team spirit
Human shields, captives by force
Rockets, missiles fall

Not even Goliath and force of world displeasure
Can move stubborn nation
Let alone a sumo wrestler

Think it's about land?
Jew hatred is a smokescreen
to fog the masses

18 Nov
Set equivalence
Jews are Nazis rhetoric
Where's mah hyoomin shield?

Warsaw-Gaza same
"Jews are Nazis" rhetoric
Who uses human shields?


media war for hearts, minds
shit slung all around the world
my kids freaked out

Trot out the chestnuts
Jews are Nazis
~~~
Hijab, mitpachat
Ironic glances of new moms 
In Hadassah ward

A decade later
rockets on all our children
fire on both houses

her kids hate mine
mine learn mistrust and disgust
how to break cycle?
~~~
17 Nov
quickly herded spawn
gas masks dug from closet
into bomb shelter

14 Oct
ice cream habit melts
most concentrated worker

sticky puddle spreads

24 Sept
There will come a poem Just right
The one where I get it. 
Exactly

Donall
I watch his dance steps
love affair with ardent words

Turn away, jealous

ah no, 
tongue's bewilderment at 
persistence of unoccupied space: 
tooth extracted

--> On a demolished building: The building has left the room. 

Donall's: 
staff notation
on the telegraph lines
the moon the only note

--> light held
      fermata

First livid, then white
marks on back of hand fading
masochistic glee
.
sluggish teenagers
loitering on dusk corners
loathe to head back home


20 August
inspired by HYK  --
 Shooting the breeze with the ferryman
Small wind teases the lines
No nibbles yet
//
Skinny dipping in the river
Stirring up Styx
Reedy legs wade
//

Reaching the further shore
Handmaidens glide up
To guide to firmer ground

--

Move along now

Nothing to see here
These are not the drones you're looking for

31 July
 In all her glory
Sleek birthday suit revealed

Carpet matches drapes

24 July
kidding in plain sight
torrent of images, sound
a whirlwind courting

27 June - remark on hyk post
partner surfaces
satisfaction and creamy smiles
flesh made fantasy

brought down to earth
she points out
his closure gaffe

crossed my road today
young jackass leading two sheep
morning metaphor

I'm spinning again.


It started a little over a week ago, in Tel Aviv, when I saw a desert and sky coloured spindle...





...and dyed wool top to match in browns, terracotta, peach, soft blue and turquoise...












...and it's continued with silk caps in roses and violets, separate rovings in brick, peach and tan, and Wensleydale dyed purple and scarlet.













I don't know where it will end.

Poor neglected blog.
Perhaps a dump of haiku  (and other things)
In small atonement?
~~~~

14 May 2012
after midnight
the rowdy gals
moon the moon

inebriated 
skyclad
glad to be alive
irrepressible 

16April
touch of tongue at hip
strong tender plane of pelvis
gasp, grasp, thrust and arch


9 April
Spitting out candy
He's come up with a new gag Sugary sadist

Husbeast & Werewif
15 years of mixed blessings
Crystal wedding day



#9 telephone/cellphone
Innuendo flies
Another round of sexting
My baby writes back


5-7-5 love 
some seasonal imagery
and killer last line


slow simmer, usual flame
comfort in his eyes
atomic sex bomb




6April - 
dove grasped
flutters
lies still
tries again
cannot leave


3 April - 
thought of you today
surprised by sudden cascade
on seeing your name

2 April
Fascinated by the idea of collective wisdom and how we cross pollinate each other, and how people who would never in a million years know of each other are now exposed to each other- often in a good way.
Inspiration.


19 Jan

Muse these last two years
His dreams rise
Yeasty words leaven 
Knowledge proofed in experience  


Conversation spiced by condiments
As exposed taste buds
Explore other possibilities

Inspired by HYK
A bad start takes a turn
after dinner
surprised lovers steam together
new found comfort food

cosy potato pancakes blanketed with
apple sauce and sour cream

16 Jan
 - in response to HYK: 
faint veils lay blindness
mute world in feathered comfort
grey intimacy 

15 Jan
painful, unflinching honesty. 
You got to have your truth. 
This is the one I live with. 
Men who don't have half the courage I do.

cold light of half moon
olive cypress silhouettes
Jerusalem dawn

1 Jan
been here before

magnesium bright
alterimage behind closed eyes
of how it would be
with you
intuitive
the shuddering breath
the uneasy familiarity and deja vu
the first time we meet

31Dec 2011
in silence
a smile blooms
heart shoots skywards

24/25 Dec
rain spattered windows
darker stars lend grey luster
rooftop symphony

20 Dec
tween rock and hard place
source of sweaters contemplates
sheep shearing challenge
~~~~ 
Connecting flight missed
Relationship has lift off
Lingering embrace
 --
poignant farewells made
features mapped to memory
clasped hands separate

next rendezvous planned
forlorn carry on lingers
begging one last kiss

shuffling down walkways
heart left in departure hall
sought in lost luggage

icy runoff flows
snowman melts in Arrivals
on receipt of kiss

19Nov
Swallow's yearning soars
Articulated in flight
Of sweeping French curves

4 Nov
glimmer of your words
rounded, lush, so sarcastic
stays with me for hours

2 Nov
Unsupervised girl
Gets up to mischief online
Home alone at night

29 Oct
answers provided
directly to questioner
you'll have to ask Him



27 Oct
Those good memories
Tainted by poisonous beatitudes
glib chicanery

immolated
on the pyre
of your scorn

(again)

Big man makes woman cry

26  Oct

kiss my caboose
soap opera sprawled on public walls
graffiti scrawled "get a room"

Ah, the influence of an inferior woman. 
The wiser one would have counseled you  
to jstfu and leave well enough alone.
-------
hostage to four souls
bitter journey to exile
tables turned, you didn't show

----o---in threes---o----
rushed to her side then
rushed again to another's
and wound up with third
once, twice, three times a liar
revisionist misremembered
rebukes repeated, elaborated
blame laid
your bed made
why do you care?
-----------------------  בשלוש   in threes
מהרתה לצדה אז
ושוב לעוד אחת
ונשארת עם השלישית

פעם, פעמים, שלוש פעמים שקרן
מערך את האמת - לא זוכר, לא מוזכר
תוכחה ממוחזרת, מרוקמת

אשמה הנחת
סדרת  את מיטתך
למה אכפת לך, עדיין?



24 Oct
Listen to silence /
A long pause, asynchronous /
Breath held for your words
----
that soft kiss
i want it
what starts gentle and kind
becomes heat and rising sparks
becomes harsh and obliterating
breath and thought suspended
i yield

22 Oct

21 Oct
all experience
transmuted into haiku
family rolls eyes

haiku infection
byproducts of dis-eased mind
almost like punning

18 Oct
when the muse arrives
scurrilous haiku ride page
he calls for brain bleach


16Oct
in a sacred wood
lithe trunks and branches entwine
conjugated limbs

The Silver Metal Lover
a Tanith Lee fantasy 
romantic android

typos corrected
elevated temp and pulse
enraptured profiles

nibbles not that harsh
education always good
bottom lip trapped soft

14 Oct - 
-- #14 baldness

In her quiet voice
shamelessly erotic words
short circuit his thoughts

missing dome cover
rogaine or minoxidil
resolves the issues

13 Oct
Catalyst and intensifier
Energy source and boost
Cables to the core of me

NaHai - kiss, innocence, late/too late - #11, 12, 13

loss of air, reason
loss of virginity next
overdue bleeding
----
That first time, soulful
open mouthed, openhearted
collar grasped in fists
``` that new baby smell
grey-eyed infant gaze, milky
little optimist

searching pants pockets
frantic breakdown of backpack
where's the damn cellphone

12 Oct
Carnally obsessed /
Craving every message /
Slutty compulsion
~~
Bright energy arcs /
Molecular collisions /
Photokinetics

#10 Discovery - 10.10.11
dandelion seeds   --> or  web of deceit gone/cobwebs blown away/
I get the truth of his lies
eureka moment

9Oct - 
Brat
flippant attitude
receives unlikely applause
sharp spanks, reddened cheeks

flipping Him the bird
rapid response, well controlled
no time for foot stomp

flipped over again
tirade blocked with well-placed cock
effectively gagged

8Oct
#8 Loss
rocking back and forth
arms curled around my belly  / keening, arms clutching belly
when you left for her

Innuendo flies
Another round of sexting
My baby writes back

The B-52s
My own private Idaho
How can I resist?

7Oct
-- #7NaHaiWriMo - beauty

despite the bitching
kids cook and clean together
cooperative

rare change of pace reigns
garlic and soy sauce accord
flavourful union

and munchies would reign
scarfing all the hash brownies
mellowed audience

implicit challenge
interestedly assessed
haiku courtesan

kicking back, let pros
administer the smack down
for asshattery

woods behind my house
sassafras root, red sumac
deer and fox pass by

6Oct
Eggsistence futile?
Been there, done that already
Got the breeder cred

Maybe not just now
Never mind the bollocks, babe
Trusty vibrator

I would if I could
give and take for that one time
Improbable join

special recipe
nutty harvest baked in pies
alternate cream source

Be still widdle heart
testosterone poses struck
badass boys rumble

plea reaches the gods
be careful what you ask for
they're spiteful bastards


Altoids to rescue
Strips the lining from the mouth
Strong minty bitch slap

Menthol presence seeps
Fingers spread balm on sore back
Quivers with chilled warmth

 -- journey/path --
Would make my way there
Unannounced at your doorway
To grab and kiss you

Following sheet music
Accompanist nods consent
I turn the pages
---------------------------------

lighting America's ass
some kind of metaphor there
damned if I know, though

That hits the bulls-eye
Targeted obsolescence
Lighting Bill's cigar

Here comes orgy thread
Familiar depravity
condoms, lube to hand

penicillin time
been there, done that once before
was it haiku chain?

Will tell the HusBeast
Am sure the prospect will thrill
Name for ignomy

A smokin' time had
All Bills paid off in good cheer
But still no cigar

Given the comp'ny
Distractions well guaranteed
Descent is assured

Nothing I don't know
Having been around the block
Driving that hot rod

One beat too many
First name splits vowels in two
to fit the right place//

One beat too many
Split vowels in first name give
more than seventeen

honeyed tones hide ice
blue suede stilettos tap rap
mistress below - tops///

mango sweetness here
grouped with curried favorites
honey on shaved ice

but that won't stop you
hit the zone get the right tone
devil in blue jeans

that bad ass haiku
assumes a brand new luster
one more time baby

warm welcome tendered
Riding high on bare mountain
mutual pleasures

~~ Bad Haiku
oh happy joy joy
more places to post lurid
rantings and ravings

Hot dark deep spicy
well seasoned word workers write
subversive word play

traveling pants land
on well padded blue buttocks
yep, strange acquaintance

-- #1Oct - Awe
Lacy  veil descends
Bright refractions scattering
Victoria Falls


-- #2 sabi/loneliness

white echoes
in blank pages
you never wrote

4 Oct

#4 butterfly
Muhammed Ali
Prize fighter quotes and pings
New Twitter update

#3 courtship:
caustic mating calls
trading barbed implications 
mutual sargasms

transfixed between
compersion and jealousy
immobilized in love

Wile E. Coyote
Target in  helpless laughter
Keystone Kops of lurve

Hostage to unrequited lust
Loving the cage
Stockholm syndrome

heat mortification
his uncomfortable muse
humiliated passions

uncomfortable muse
horrified fascination
mortified

4 Oct
for  Paul
Memories flooded with June light
He gave me summer meadows
uncertain kisses
tentative passion
 ---
compromised situation
afraid to take more
stuttering caresses
furtive meetings
summer affair
unconsummated
 ---
tree at my back
we move together
against the rough bark
heated

3 Oct 2011
"your wish is my commando"
au naturel
when he really shouldn't.

new haircut
bares nape
vulnerable

suggestive moment
inventive uses
for a parsnip

(response to a haiku of spilled coffee in poster's lap)
a likely excuse
demure dabs with serviettes
flushed averted gaze

25 Sept
brutal little beastie
glances sideways, growling with
evil intentions

Tarzan to rescue
Swinging in on sturdy vines
Pendulous motion

23-24 Sept

First time partners meet
Raw and sexual slapstick
Getting their kinks on

meteor showers
limitless blue summer nights
drunk on velvet paths

night vision engaged
small whirrings and stirrings known
trail blazed by instinct

intentional touch
unlaced, a tender cyclone
clear evidence trail

19 Aug
under the influence
medicated kisses
suppress my doubts

glide of his hands
confirms fears
in too deep


5 August 2011
first pink streak, ardent
daybreak embraced with welcome
clear-eyed, loving smiles

29 July
Little voice in head
Staggeringly emphatic
Strikes a diva pose

Heavy cloud, no rain
Pending promise or threatened
rainbow-in-waiting

Concealed magic
Power of words to create
Tsunami coming

25July

how can I tell you?
Under your shirt - skin. 
Not an undershirt, not the ritual fringed garment, just skin.
Smooth, fine hair.
An expressive collar bone
I show you how you are beautiful. I remind you of desire.

24 July
Poised for fight or flight
Drawn by possibilities
Little delusions

19 July -

For Edgar Levy:
haiku guitar man
skilled hands restore and repair
battered instruments

For Shelley
Freshmen together
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Doing the Time Warp

18 July
Disgruntlement shines
The voice of the curmudgeon
Is heard in our land

16 July
cynic at the bar
eyebrow raised in a question
you want me to *what*?

with B:  
amber waves of grain
bottles steeped in majesty
smoky peat jewels

In August, memory
Takes on ironic luster
Thinking of autumn

15 July 2011
scarified pavement
dark weals on darker surface
scent of creosote

facetious remark
palms itching to slap so hard
spite volcano

8 July
lemon scented air
subtle coconut flavour
yellow curry steams

5 July
Haiku? Gesundheit
Allergenic poetry
Please pass more tissues

5-7-5 love

17 June
Blazing through the clouds
Distemper cleared, frowns gone
Sweet smiles shine again

16 June

Happy birthday dear
You know it's that time again
Kisses and warm hugs

His lips quirk amused
Year come and gone one more time
Kite caught in whirlwind

Birthday time again?
A year of gracious good things
More time for fun stuff

9June
Hot jazz swooping round
Dizzy neutron collisions
Energy released

you know I love it
glazed eyes, murky lust

7June
flexed calves in high heels
languid hips slow swaying steps/lips


6 June
Love is in the air
Doggy passion rules the day
Canine confidence

Watch out, Godzilla
Killer bunnies on the loose
Pity the reptile

25 May
Than your smooth body
Nothing I like to lap more
Pussy in the cream


23 May
use me as You will
renewable resource blooms
dew trails on orchid

his fingers in me
soft caress on thin petals
scent of sex rises

6 may
..
fine yellow cornmeal
swirl in pot, pat of butter
brown sugar boulders
.
breakfast this morning
leftovers shared with stray cat
cupboard love kitty

. . .
'brown sugar boulders'
muse looks over her shoulder
smutty thoughts surface
----
Taking a page out
An old photograph of you
That same book opens

Plagiarist fables
You tell her (them?) a new story
Same one you told me...

3May 2011
your brittle diamonds
crumble on reflection
refractory dust.

terrorist is dead?
nature fills asshole vacuums
within mere minutes

22-23 April 2011
‎#
no parveh chickens
ever graced my Bubbe's soup
all were shechted glatt

Bogus kashrut claims
Hebrew National touting
Certified treif meats

Passover method
Chicken soup with matzah balls
ginger and garlic

12-13  April 2011
black mud and sugar
cardamom-laced steam rises
thick sediment falls

positively ancient
skin like a baby's butt
the best
plastic surgeon

11 April 2011
Distant family
So much better when they go
Sanity regained

10 April 2011
Red laptop, pink mouse
New geek girl environment
Matches pink hard drive

17-3-2011
sheep, donkeys, gazelle
common local road hazards
on my drive to work

24-2-11
Fractal nature
Infinite curves
Repeated


22-2-2011
warm bite
of earth
in sun dried tomatoes


7-2-2011
simple food 

green-eyed flame catches
slow simmer, usual flame
comforting glow

    green tinder catches
    slow simmer, usual flame
    comfort in his eyes


30-1-2011
staggering in streets
radiating energy 
atomic sex bomb

yeah baby, you know
still thinking of your harsh kiss
lecherous green eyes


16-1-2011
magenta and white
fragile root hairs rest on salt
radish on my plate


15-1-2011
best he's never had
last minute hesitation
diamonds in gutter

best he's never had
lost in useless conundrum
diamonds in gutter
flea market treasure
stricken by buyer's remorse
beyond the budget
/budgeted out of scope
unexpected gem/
flea market bargain / treasurediamond on pavement
cherished then discarded
beyond budget

odd combination
indifference and resentment
toxic dishwater

taste concentrated
loaded with bright alkaloids
sinister stew pot

silk knitting in hands
secret smile masks smutty thoughts
as brief thong takes shape

     bright drift of clementines


garlic, onions
join the nightshades in the pot  // joined by nightshades in the pot 
ratatouille steams


8-1-11
he guards her sleeping
infatuated lover
watches her smiles

watching me sleep
he tells me of every smile
insomniac love

6 1 11
Fragile skeleton
fossilized thigh bone, precious
'Efemural'

2-1-11
Kate Bush wails on moor
Taking me back to 80s

1-1-11
same thing as old year
old dreams still untenable
back to beginning
