BUZZ WORDS #1............
one-line linked haiku
Francine Porad and Marlene Mountain
May 25-June3, 2005

 

bye bye manic-depressive
bipolar the current buzz word bye bye manic-depressive
sun on the back side of my ailing right frontal lobe
peaceful on the 82 degree patio the sound of the waterfall
pansies as they look at one another
chick flick box of Kleenex nearby for tears not nose
gop a long weekend to get their 'axe' together  

testosterone aplenty plus 23 million viagra guys in love
'us' and 'them' think before you use*
a boy i know doesn't like that i say girls and boys club
 justices review abortion debate again
my own hands a tiny patch of dusty soil cleared for seeds
can he masturbate just 'til he needs glasses?
in dubya's pocket extremist talk radio gets to a subcommittee
bad habits at first like cobwebs later like chains*
portable welder to fix the backhoe to fix the road to frogs
potting stuff removed I settle deeply in a deck chair
too close for comfort the kissing white iris crazy about me
invitation to dance when walking is a chore

forget cleaning meetings and mealtime the trend to eat out
freedom of the press to mull over america as 29th
Memorial Day flags fly high a light rain morning 'til night
'deep throat' the hero outed by himself
secret even from his family for almost three decades
years since i've been who i thought i was
a healthy self-image long before painting acceptances
the perfect touch to spring a bit of poison ivy
itching and scratching spread-eagled in blackberry brambles
closing arguments the mj case a foreverland argument*
extended deadline for the Tokutomi Contest I send an entry
now only the trillium leaves fall into a haiku

a piliated voice firmly planted in holes of the long-gone pine
the offer to 'ginko' and teach passed along
good grief everyone does something about the weather
forecast: a new moon on Monday fresh energy
a reputation to keep up the moths come home when expected
AnimalMan: ausome i wish I could to*
