 Write a poem that gives an abstract idea of life, a personality , a life of its own 

SHADORMA-  3 5 3 3 7 5

if music
be the food of love 
yes play on
shakespeare knew
give me excess of it said
the poet's idol

without it
life would be so bleak
it heals us
it brings us
great joy bliss and happiness
a gift from heaven

TANKA TUESDAY CHALLENGE # 89....SENRYU

he was everything
she ever wanted alas
t'was not meant to be

when she plays this piece
she remembers him with tears
she will always love him

MLMM MONDAY WORDLE # 501

 shy mind alone clear content cloud blue free saturday ponder  pretend bright

i don't pretend to be shy
my mind is clear
i don't sit alone on a cloud 
content to ponder the bright blue sky
or drink myself into oblivion on a saturday night
with free booze

SENRYU SUNDAY NOVEMBER 1

.

WELCOME TO SENRYU SUNDAY

SENRYU  5 7 5
focuses on human nature and behaviour

A senryu is a short, three-line Japanese poetic form structurally identical to a haiku (typically following a 5-7-5 syllable pattern), but which turns its lens toward human nature, everyday ironies, and relational quirks rather than the natural world.

it's over the top
colour collisions at play
i think i like it

                                                                               2

 now only a dream
something not experienced
in a long long time

                                                                         3

oh yes marcel waves
my nan's favourite hairstyle

remember it well

                                                                         4

we called them beatniks
way back then this could be me
never could conform

5

don't need furniture
only a few wooden planks
easy to move house

(by Rall)

my rustic cabin
far from any distractions
just my books and me
(by Fandango)

6

a sweet purring cat 

a picture of peace and love
God's gift to humans

7

some bits and pieces
found in a council throw out
recycler's dream

8

cute creative child
chose this costume rather than
a fairy princess

9

art nouveau magic
a masterpiece in a chest
of bedroom drawers

                                                                            10

memories of youth
so many protest marches
so long ago now

what was it all for
the world is still such a mess
non stop wars and strife

11

my computer is
trying to drive me crazy

it's deliberate

The Skeptics Kaddish... W3 # 235

So long, farewell
Auf widersehen  goodbye
Adieu adieu to you and you and you

It's all too much
can't take it anymore
I'm leaving now
and heading out the door
I'm glad to go I cannot tell a lie
I flit I float I flit I flit I fly
and ask myself oh why
oh why oh why 

So long , adieu
Auf widersehen goodbye
I feel von trapped mit creetchas ich bin vile
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye

Goooooood.....Byyyyyyye

Flop
Plop
Kaputski

TANKA TUESDAY # N0 88...Behind The Mask...TANKA

wartime comedy
hilarity hides horror
war is a nightmare
not a tiptoe tulip fest
with whispering grass giggles

MLMM MONDAY WORDLE # 500

backwards sting pants metal robust honesty surplus ready signature drink front thought 

he liked sting
he  also liked heavy metal
he had a surplus number of girl friends
his signature tune should have been
i'm ready willing and able
mr smarty pants used to sing this after a few drinks
robustly not giving a thought about
making a fool of himself
never backwards in coming forward
he would front up to girls and invite them
to sing message in a bottle  with him on stage
in all honesty i thought he was crazy
but a lot of fun
