They asked me what I did on my week off I told them I was busy out front, yea! I was busy shining my ideals Making them look nice and pretty and prim All the people passing they'd look in and say in admiration "My! you got such lovely looking ideals" I'd smile and nod back knowingly When they'd gone however I'd go in my back room I'd smile again then I'd hoist my Jolly Roger. (Every morning for breakfast I eat a big bowl of moral fibre Then I mount my pulpit to lecture everyone "Woe onto you if you do this, woe unto you if you do that" But during the night when it's quiet and there's no one about I sneak down the stairs and...ha!ha! I raid the refridgerator).

Jolly Roger-ed
jolly coke cans racked; shoppers go quietly by - all bubbly inside.

jolly coke cans | a christmas haiku
In the midst of jolly red I alone stood bit distant, Aloof, and somewhat lonely Merry is just an arms reach Yet that gap felt like light-years Among the crowd, I'm not one I chose to let the cold seep It built me my apathy Supressing both joy and tears But what sealed can be unsealed, A hint of warm, long lost love And I'll wish for stars collide.

that divide
Sitting by the fire on Christmas Eve, It's too cold for T-shirts so we wear warm sleeves, The weather is cold, roofs turned to frost, The air is crisp, keeping our feet toasty in socks, Watching jolly movies, Elf, Home Alone, Jack Frost, Letting out our inner child, For some, it can be lost. Puddings, cakes, and mince pies, Turkeys to be cooked, By the time Christmas comes around the whole house will be booked, Rushing, buying, decorating, This day will be off the hook. Lights are seen from house to house, Trees and stars on top, Going downtown to purchase things, Running round every shop, Looking like a National Lampoon, Christmas music on nonstop.

Merry Jolly Joy
The air was turning crisp, It was frosty outside, People wore their cozy coats, Their was a sparkle in everyone's eyes, The fireplace was lit, Some sat by the fire, Snowflakes started falling from the sky, From up a little higher. Beanie hats were bought, Some preferred some with bobbles on the top, Everyone was running round from shop to shop. A few golden lights, Were seen from the streets, A woman lit a candle, & placed her hands above the heat. A robin landed on her wall, Just outside her house, The sign of winter on its way, November is nearly out.

Have a Holly, Jolly Christmas!
a word hasn’t been spoken since, humble abode, you ever seem? exchanging praises and jolly sins, with a mouth full of lies what does that mean?

mouth full of lies
Smithereens we, with, on, a truck’s van speeding scrapping, alas, vagabond voyage ceiling Well, astral jumping from a car /cinnamonned sun/ isn’t hard then I see, creek We, the cloak, the moment and me the contracting, a book of flights spread open, we a discarding, as its wing from gold smothered in most blue sky and a red sign towards embarking to a new life/face encrusting Joy, lazy, lounged, like a banjo in its autumn on a porch jiggly slouch, strings light freeze at wind, clasp, then step up and as the hitchhiker dance. Amèlie, I caught your sound! your theme, lastly away, the accordion’s as of now met, adopted in a knee’s set, one leg around the other a mess. Hanging springs of it, at edge. Maroon, eyes currently in wood carved, steampunk clogs, clads there fine. Mellow, whole body a cello, from boots with folly drunk through wood prolonging curved to the “f”s at the end of ideas and caramel hair known as falling leaves’ place. This will be a great something. Laid open! Further! Hitter! Onward higher! Off, so off we go

Pathward, Blazer
I have found her I finally found her the distinct enchanting singing which allures even the perpetually frightened birds to her crimson magnet lips. once in it, there is no return once in it, you wouldn't want to return anyway. where the beads evaporate through the dulcet clouds only to fall onto your rampant seas again she eludes nature yet still acts in concert befouls all my sorrows So they cannot see ahead of me. for what I love is rather bleak unless it slips between the nets of her silken mouth, ensnaring my body like the ever patly fog does in the cold mid-spring morning. I can't spot me, let alone her I long to see her but sharing the trait of a jolly sun confines me to marvel her 'least I can hear the guiding caroling leading my chained up limbs to an old long farscaped gate proliferated with strong green tendrils that took such good care of it as if they knew, that I would arrive one day

The Jolly Woman
My heart is pierced by cupid An angelic maid of Rome There ain't nothing that can console me But my jolly sailor boat Alone in my room Staring up on the roof There came this gem of sailors Who interrupted my moody mood We set out on a sail To the Atlantis depth unknown Praying we live to tell the tale Of our trip to yo-ho-ho Heave ** all hands, hoist the colors high. Now we dive; far from land Where we never shall die. We dive through the storm In cold and thunderous rain There ain't nothing that make we stop Even though we may never return again We hoist the colours high Not for some useless glittering gold We're pirates of higher rank We only dine for yo-ho-ho Freedom is yo-ho-ho to me I'm ah slave to land no more It isn't gold that call me to the sea But the freedom to do what I love From the sea of thousands ghommids To the ocean of ice and cold We roam, high and low Hoping we'll soon get to dine at home. We danced on the deck While the music is playing and the breeze has the helm Of the fine lady swaying We dreamed of been kissed By the beautiful maid of calipso We had nightmares of abandon-ship Crushed by the horn of Davy-Jones If this ship has to sink I'll be there to watch it crash in slow motion I'll hold the anchor at the hip As I get drowned beneath the ocean So forget not how we rise to the tide of sea and river We are the Atlantic knight For we are not a sinner

Jolly PIRATE
Have you ever felt the rain on your cheeks smelling like a burgundy rose in the sunlight? Or the fear that drives away the fire for weeks from your soul, brought by the zephyr of the night? Have you ever read the unwritten letters with the wandering feather of the folly, about the predicted destinies in sweaters and the voiceless hearts who forget to remain jolly? Have you ever seen the floating married couples searching for their star in the clouds, up in the sky, how they are looking for dizzying touches and chuckles while writing their love on white sheets, in the hot July? Have you ever heard the sharpened words, the ones with hidden or multiple meanings, how the blind hopes are torn apart by swords bringing up bitter enigmas and bad feelings? I did. I felt all of this. I've seen all of this. How I was smashed in million pieces by the pain, and yet, I believe Life will give me another kiss. It'll get better one day, even if it's trying to rain.

HAVE YOU EVER
Fa-la, la-la, figging-la! Deck your halls, don't skimp on the holly. It's the season to be jolly - Shelve you woes, wrap up your ills, use your credit, put off the bills. Follow us for merry pleasure, you know we're all in this together. It's just started, it's one long trial, but we'll get through it, just fix that smile.

jolly
We, the teens of the new era, Are quite different. Maybe this is just self obsession, But whatever, I know for sure, That this generation is Surely different. We are mature more than we should be We are childish even more. We are not sure about our next step Neither that our life is sorted, At least that’s how we see it. It is indeed puzzled. We dream so big unlike our predecessor And then again, at the same time we Just want to leave the battle at the age of 16. We are so much energetic To think of ourselves as the next Einstein And at the same time we are as lazy as a sloth. We like to write carelessly Much like me And then again we think a lot before posting it Thinking it wouldn’t remain as beautiful After this moment will be gone. But then again, I know we are so lazy to even consider the very idea of wasting our effort that we have put into writing the piece. so posting this currently, without even considering the mistakes that would have been commited. Without considering the reaction of the event. That’s exactly how we are, Carefree. Jolly, happy, poetic, Philosophical moreover. What, I know only this much that, We surely are DIFFERENT.

TEENS OF MY AGE
Every day I feel as if I am on the verge of tears All of a sudden I start crying without a reason My mascara always smears I am supposed to be jolly, you know 'tis the season But my heart cannot handle it anymore I believe that I have become one of the heartbroken Because he used to be the one who said "I love you more" As you know, I am no longer taken But all my tears are not because of him, I hope

A Birthday Haiku
Fireworks are sure to pop, fizz, and bang Drinks are sure to be passed around Getting the happy people Drunk Jolly And stupid The New Year is sure to be good; Resolutions are made Never to be resolved Promises are made to break The last words of this Year will be Goodbye. It's been a great one

New Year
Happy Think happy Think happy thoughts Joy. What is joy? Joy is having friends and family Ones who care about you Who nurture you in your time of need Yeah. They want to see you grow Soar high in the sky Not try and hinder you Nailing you to the ground damaging your wings They wish to see you smile not frown Dance around like your a child Be yourself That is joy correct or am I wrong Ehh who cares that's still what I'm going to do
