ok platypanda who put you

ok platypanda who put you guys up to this. hmmm? for god sake please dont give poets any encouragement, or we end up with poems about tuesday,or sofa's, or....corn flakes.[wait for it, the challenge is too great for poets to ignore]. like your monniker though. i guess being an aussie with a little tai tai i could invent one too. lets see...how bout witchetty-jaozi. mmm, sounds good.and for god sake ,no matter how many syllables or seasonal references are adhered to according to googles 'haiku by numbers page', 'peddle ' is what peddlers do when peddling [ie: selling] goods. petals anyone? - maybe contemporary haiku must have a reference pertaining to commerce? aha ha! how droll! again to all poets, please refer to www.bukowski.net/ for a relevance check. question 1,- am i in the 21st or 19th century? if successful in qu.1 ask qu.2. - in the dictionary under the word 'tepid' is there a picture of me? dont be too concerned about my little tirade platypanda, kong ye de has a standing invite to come and review my dubious stylings at his leisure.commisioner chopper ,zhuhai peoples poetry police. as you were men.smoke 'em if you got 'em

golden crunch at dawn
a white river of cow's milk

Too good a challenge to resist! Hoo hoo ha ha har!

oh doc, what'll we do

oh doc, what'll we do without you, old son. thought i might have gone too far. i dont mean to hurt anyones feelings ok? but really doc, thats pretty good. i await the 'sofa' and 'tuesday' instalments with quill of poison poised pointedly toward pointification. shee..it, its contageous.

Doc's picture

Oh! woe and dismay, Soothe!

Oh! woe and dismay,
Soothe! Hark it's Tuesday!
And I, alas am forlorn;

Soft masochism,
Is not a prison,
For a sadist sworn;

But lo' .... oops! 21st Century right?
Let's try again...

Sofa. A corner torn and frail with age
and rot and neglect it will I think fall
apart before long, but I will give such
thought no such regret at that which tore at
ample arms of couch spuds deprived of rest.

regards,
T. Tempest. DCA
