Some Penny Haiku, Part 3

[Steve Plonk]

Readers, readers, readers, where are you kind folks? Please dart your eyes
upon this humble page two, et al.

[Steve Plonk]

Refreshing the page for those whose eyes wax sage...

[theirishsea]

"let compromise reign"----I wish that could be realized.

[Steve Plonk]

Me, too, theirishsea...We need to keep our "minds open" for areas in which
folks may compromise. Then wishes may become a reality...

"Self-Improvement Penny Haiku"
By Steve Plonk

One cannot get where one is going
Unless one remembers where s/he has been/
True being requires hindsight as well as foresight...

"Historical Penny Haiku"
By Steve Plonk

"Pinkie Lee" & "Chucky Low"
To Beijing, (China) Olympics
They did go...
Suddenly, murder
Came to flower,
As they visited
The "Old Drum Tower".

[stilltrucking]

I like how it sounds even if I don't know nothing about it

[Steve Plonk]

Thanks, Still Trucking, there was a murder at that location during the
Beijing Olympics. I use fictive names & so on, to get the soundings.
Glad you liked it.

THE OBSERVER: Penny Haiku
By Steve Plonk

T'Would be nice to be mint
In a drink of mint julep
At a bridal shower...
***
Like a flea on the wall
I'd get to observe it all
From the inside out
From the outside in
Clawing at tongues
As homemade sin...

First published in slightly differing form in the GO forum, in Son of the Sun’s Poetry thread, Sept. 20, 2012.

[theirishsea]

A lot of interesting poetry but I wonder if putting them all in one thread is good or not----I do see its advantages. Every time you post new poems the old ones are brought to the surface again.

[Steve Plonk]

Thanks for reading, Irish Sea...Yeah, I post my poems in a thread in order to
keep track of the older poems & get more exposure. When a thread has been
dormant a while, I close comments, copy it, and put it in my column space:
"Life in the Horse Lane".

FOUR MORE YEARS

By Steve Plonk

We brought it back with Barack, Jack
We brought it back with Barack
Four more years
Have suppressed our fears
We brought it back with Barack
Obama
We brought it back with Barack
Sunshine shines on our national mama
We brought it back with Obama
Liberty, Equality, Tranquility...
No more Romney/Ryan trauma.
***
We brought it back with Barack, Jack
We brought it back with Barack
No more Romney/Ryan Frick & Frack
We brought it back with Barack, Jack
Sun shines on our national Mama
We brought four more years with Obama.

[stilltrucking]

four more years that's all I want
just four more years
of happy days are here again

four more years
sounds good to me
even at my age

in the meantime
I can hardly wait
for the next election
in four more years

just a GO
don't mean nothing now
maybe it will
in four more years
when happy days are here again

[Steve Plonk]

Thanks for your input, Still Trucking. Glad that there are readers still out there.
Hopefully, this awful recession will continue to turn around. Until then, it is great to "see daylight at the end of the tunnel"...

DAYLIGHT Penny Haiku

By Steve Plonk
a)
There is daylight
At the end of the recession tunnel,
An old metaphor I am wont to use,
We continue to trust that
Folks will recover,
Treat their neighbors as friends
Sister or brother,
Keeping on the good foot,
Nose to the wheels...
***
b)
Time may heal our wounds,
Hopefully not wound our heels--
Time usually does a bit of both,
Hopeful that this rhyme is not uncouth,
For I begin my old age then,
I'm no longer in youth...
***
c)
It takes a village, Hillary Clinton once said,
We must all work with our hands
As well as our head...
We may preserve our grounds
We may explore the skies,
We may live as siblings
As long as we tries...
White, Black, Red, Yellow & Brown...
Let's all shake hands
Accept what's gone down...

yeah, let´s pray to yellow spandex...! good to know about you, Steve!!!!!
