India women dip white
linen cloths into vats of
the most beautiful colors,
Yogis meditate.


*Dodoitsu 7,7,7,5  Japanese style of poetry. Circa 1600s. Often concerning love or work, and usually comical.  In my case I was trying to show an analogy between dipping into meditation and the dipping of cloth in a vat of dye. But I also found it humorous that the men meditated, while the women worked.

Pillow Talk

Why is the pillow on the lap of the female actor?
Is she trying to hide, to no avail, that midriff muffin-top factor?
This is a great phenomenon, though crazy, it is true.
And now that the cat is out of the bag, you will notice it too.

For in almost every sitcom, and in almost every scene,
in movies and soaps and dramas alike, it's almost becoming obscene.
*******'s Mom never did it, but notice the girls on "Friends".
They'll either sit with folded arms or a pillow to hide what offends.


*Feel free to add a verse or two to this poem and post it.
Should be great fun.....there are no rules.

Remember our first kiss

your lips were hard and urgent

I searched so long
for another mouth
that felt like yours.

YOU ARE:
Boorish and bellicose
Calamitous and caustic
Defamatory and dowdy
Garrulous and guileless
Insolent and irksome
Are you busy tonight?
Some of my favorite negative adjectives with my favorite, alliteration, and my favorite male weakness, any woman, even a negative one.

I've always felt like I'm rushing to go nowhere.

I envy the cup of coffee that gets to kiss your sleepy lips awake every cold and bitter morning.

Who needs love when
I have a bottle of *****!

Who needs love when
I have some good friends!

Who needs love when,
when I have work!
I will no longer have anything to shuck.

Who needs love when I have solitude!
At last a moment of peace.

Who needs love... me I suppose.

I oppose
gravity;
you are
the string
which
stays me.

You are
wrapped
around my
ankle and
I’m breathing in
star specks.

And when
I come down
it is only
because your
lips are
so close to
the ground.
