Comment in haiku.
Poetic conversations,
Elegant disputes.

Five syllables first,
second line seven, then five.
Anglicized format.

Upvote cleverness.
Mock lazy line-fillers like,
"refrigerator."

Sort Order:  

Responding in kind.
Discipline in using words
brings its own reward.

Kind rewarding words
Freely given at Christmas
Brighten winter gloom.

The Grinch stole Christmas.
Whoville still celebrated,
Symbols unneeded.

The structure reminds:
"Brevity, the soul of wit."
Laconic response.

If my Dad still lived,
He'd laugh and share, revealing
Immodest humor.

the old ghosts watch on
proprieties bother us
they say life is short

A limerick thread:
More likely to be vulgar.
Should I create it?

Eager, not just I,
Dark eyes bright, those old ghosts smile
Anticipating.

Haiku to the left
Of us, haiku to the right:
Poets write alone

Jokers to the right
Jokers to the left of me
Poker cheaters suck.

The Reservoir Dogs,
Sitting reading Tennyson,
Discussing their ties.

Films I have not seen.
Cultural references missed.
Fixable problem.

Agony of Influence
Someone somewhere said before:
I sit in the sun

Don't Boss me, I say
Don't you tell me what to do.
I'll write any way I please... so there.

There once was a man from the sticks,
Who liked to compose limericks,
But he failed at the sport,
Since he wrote them too short.
