Some men prefer dolls. Real women are too complex. Dolls keep egos safe.

Be careful, Donnie! The noose you want for his neck. Might go around yours.

NOOSE (A Political Haiku)
Paradise sought, Paradise down an alleyway, Paradise by a fountain, Your body is a fountain, Under the lamplight, Your body's a fountain. Paradise down the alleyway, Paradise against a brick wall, Paradise in the ivy, You're covered in ivy, Under the streetlights, You're covered in my ivy. Paradise sought, Paradise by the water, Paradise gained, Paradise denied.

Luck led me to his mother, A goddess who kept him in a Ziploc bag, "He's the Special One" she sighed And reached in to rub his star-spangled head. Visits on Thursdays, My boy prince, My young king, wintry-eyed with hair caressing his neck like a black snake, His mouth thinned from hours of runic recitation, his eyes weary with remembering forbidden knowledge of an older time. With my muse and an old bloodhound We'll tour the world in an authentic 60's Volkswagen minivan we stole from a hippy's backyard. When night falls and the fireflies stab the dark with flashing points of light, We'll conjure archways dripping with roses Our ********** rapturous on sleeping bags stashed in the back. Honey mead will flow as we solve riddles and listen to the sounds of ol' Terra creaking on her eternal foundation...

HARRY POTTER
It was the Telemann, wasn't it? The slow honeyed complaint of the violin produced those hot tears on your pale cheek, While the cello brought forth the deep sweet pain of remembered love, The recorder sighed with you as golden nights of wonder and romance were recalled, cherished, and banished to the ether once more, And the harpsichord sparkled sadly as it observed your sobbing drooping form on the couch, its tinkling notes caressing you as it attempted to soothe and bring resolution and peace... It's not your fault, Georg Phillip, How could you know that your shimmering masterwork Would bring the piercing ache of lost and unrequited love?

Moving in silence, Shadows part, leaving no trace, A cat's ninth journey.

Terra Mater (a haiku for Earth Day)
Somewhere in that Angel's lair is my true love, sleeping, waking, Or maybe on his knees again, Rosary-wrapped fist, his icy Eyes staring straight ahead at Him hanging there, The only man he truly adores, The only one he'd give up Love for, the only one He allowed to brand his soul With the image of A sacred heart. Yes, my true love is talking to the angels, And letting them set the date.
