		<description>A sinÂ´s reprise
The sakura blooms
So it is my time as well
I lose part of me

As I bloom crimson
I bloom with not one regret
You took it away

So take me again
Through loss hunger awakens now
I crave your sin, come

Take me away now
My rivers flow with passion
Become one with me

On hard floor we meet
Our flesh serves to comfort us
Our kisses our meals

And our sin returns
It comes again and again
A welcome reprise

So young warrior
Cleave your blade and claim your prize
My flower is yours

The wind blows our way
Scattering blossoms on us
The picture is done

Painted in my mind
Forevermore I will keep
The day I grew up

The day I became
A full grown woman with pride
As I tasted sin

A picture redone
A thousand different ways
Each more passionate</description>

		<description>Wow-just read this.  &quot;horrors of capitalism&quot;  really struck me.  Maybe it was facetious quoting of bathroom walls, I don&#039;t know.  But, I do know people who grew up in the reality of socialism and communism.  They would give anything for the &quot;horrors of capitalism&quot; because then, they would have freedom to pursue their dreams. 

So here&#039;s my haiku:

socialism is
night to those who must live with
longing dreams denied</description>

		<description>Hi Allison,
I rediscovered the Haiku calendar I wrote when I was twelve years old, from which I posted already the Juin Haiku. This calendar brings the Haikus back what they were originally meant for: to describe emotions associated to the seasons by using metaphors from nature (and to write them on toilet walls, of course).

I see that there is not too much activity in this topic anymore. However, I can&#039;t resist to post at least my Haikus for January and February, that I translated from German to English:

January:
***********************
Snow fills the valleys
the mountain hare sits calmly
in his sleeping den.
***********************

February:
***********************
Alps, homelike chalet,
chatting by the fireside,
outside the blizzard.
***********************

So long
Mat

P.S.: To write them on the bathroom wall is not a good idea, since I have to move out of this appartement soon and it would be difficult to explain   this to the next renter ...</description>

Love is exploring
Will it soar or will it fall?

		<description>&quot;Hooked&quot;

Allison&#039;s Blog is
More addictive than &quot;Mary Jane&quot;
But less fattening.

====

&quot;Query&quot;

Is &quot;Allice and Huck&quot;
An &quot;Alice&#039;s Restaurant&quot;
With Huck for pot luck?

====

&quot;Lesson&quot;

Like the lettuce said,
&quot;I be leaf ... I should have quit
When I was a head!&quot;
 
====


&quot;Wonder Where The Yellow Went&quot;

Like the egg white said,
&quot;Sometimes I crack myself up,
But this is no yolk!&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;Unscented&quot;

Just Light a candle --
A better alternative
Than cursing the methane!

====

&quot;Friend&quot;

Yes, a plumber&#039;s friend
When it&#039;s needed once again
Is indeed a friend.

====

&quot;Handy-Wipe&quot;

Convenience is
At my side, on a roll AND
Pre-perforated.

====

&quot;Caution&quot;

Have a hot shower
But jump out before the flush
Or you will be well done.

====

&quot;First Impression&quot;

Looked in the mirror
Shocked at how good I appeared.
Then the mud pack cracked.

====

&quot;Homey&quot;

Hair clog in the sink.
Toothpaste splatter everywhere.
Ring around the tub.

====

&quot;Don&#039;t!&quot;

My make-up is off.
Down the drain once again.
DON&#039;T ANSWER THE DOOR!

====

&quot;Itchy&quot;

The itch &#039;tween my toes
Is what always lets me know --
It&#039;s Althelete&#039;s Foot!

====

&quot;Efficiency&quot;

With hair in rollers
I spend time while it&#039;s drying
Brushing my mollars.</description>

		<description>&quot;Nair-Fare-Well&quot;

Knock knock. Who is there?
Michael Rosenbaum won&#039;t be.
No more need for Nair.


====


&quot;What&#039;s Left&quot;

Smallville without Lex --
A hairy proposition!
Just Clark and hair-em.


====


&quot;Opponent?&quot;

Will Lionel be Lex?
Or is he to depart next?
Who that&#039;s bad is left?


====


&quot;Who&#039;s the Boss?&quot;

When Clark is oldest
Of everyone on the cast
Who will SUPERvise?


====


&quot;Last?&quot;

Will Chlo know to go
When Al and Miles wrap the show?
Guess so.  She&#039;s a pro.


====


&quot;Enough?&quot;

If any are left
I&#039;d should buy a calendar
To learn when to stop.


====


&quot;Limits&quot;

I&#039;m plumb out of space.
Better visit my parents
And skip to their loo.


====


&quot;Clogged&quot;

Writer&#039;s block in the John!
I would throw in the towel
But it wouldn&#039;t flush.


====


&quot;Optimism&quot; 

Optomistic View:
(From where I am sitting now)
Means &quot;No empty roll&quot;


====


&quot;Simile&quot;

My sink faucet goes
From one drip to another ...
Like women dating.</description>
