bloke, I sympathise
that's exactly how I'd feel
if I woke up there

one minute I'm zonked,
on the couch watching TV,
the next... Ice! Thing! Fish!

fish out of water
into a roaring fire
back into water

Line tied round big toe
Lie back and wait for a bite
Aye, aye there she blows.

he can fish and grow stubble
all at the same time!

Very good, ha ha. I do like this photo. It's via P2P from last week's bit-of-the-old-desultory.

Oh BTW - I'm putting the date in as a heading now. I usedn't to have anything before. I'm doing this in answer to the fact that, what with wanting to see the pic of the haiku I'd just read, I'd always be clicking backwards and forwards from the comments to the front page. "If only each page had a title, I could click on it and have the pic and the poem on the same page." So! There's a title to click on now. If you do that (rather than click on 'comments') you can read the haiku with the image right there. Well, that's what I'm going to do anyway.

Not a haiku
You can't keep a keen fisherman down
If there is fishing to be done, there he is
The only thing missing here is a stubbie

Ah, stubble. For scaling the fish I assume? Handy if you didn't bring a scaler. And no doubt a tragedy for our smooth-faced Finn.

'Oh bugger' he said
'I've a fish, but no scaler,
and darn it, I shaved!'

as far as the last picture, the play on figure (small naked figures) and ground (abstract embraces) i was talking about: the fleshy coloured part in the top-center is the face of a greco-roman figure, embracing the woman on the left (the furthest small scale figure to the left resides in/on her right arm). if you look at the red part on the left center, to the right of the smaller scale couple in the left center of the painting, it even looks like she has a nipple ring. where the abstract woman's face would be, is just a giant pair of lips.

perhaps i am just stating the obvious, so I'll stop here, but i thought i would follow up.
