stuck with cat-like eyes of mine
in the tree of life

alert and amenable
like a gift from gods

Oh well, it seems no one much grooved on the last one except for me. Not even P2P, and it was her pic.

Ah, the mysteries of the universe...

Anyway, here's another completely separate pic with no connection to the last one. I'm not telling where it's from or who it is. Um, mostly because I don't know, ha ha. Anyway, it's an image about which we know nothing and are free to view in whatever fashion strikes us. Kind of thing.

I wonder if we can get P interested in this one...

the fishing pic was so good of a haiku pic that it proved to be too difficult to produce even a line, for me that is. I just got lost in thoughts about carelia, winter, nudity, elk fur and our national fish, the european perch...

the world from the fringe

And very good P. And quite right that you didn't write a haiku. Who can think straight when there's nudity and wildlife involved? I certainly can't.

my will - a bead of water

sober somber eyes
piercing through a banal veil
a soul stirs deeply

praying to myself
don't need no education
leave us kids alone

Hullo boys and girls,

Is this the best one ever? Or is it just me?

The Schutte: Your first makes Raymond Carver look like a chatterbox, ha ha. As for 'Akihabara', I expect that I'm the only one here who knows how good that haiku is. It's spooky. Um... I guess you had to be there, which is to say, wandering around those parts of Tokyo where teenagers publicly declare themselves members of this or that tribe.

But everyone has done brilliantly. We all found something interesting in our mysterious young woman - with P being more mysterious than anyone else of course. I won't post a new pic just yet because, I don't know.. to see what happens?

Want to see what happens huh? Been looking at this on and off for a week now so I had better put ink on paper or 1's and 0's in the right order or whatever. Here are a few meagre efforts.

Observing events
Unseen. Impact but no surprise.
How will it all end?

Hand over her mouth
Does not lack self confidence
Seeing and knowing.

Oh Mystery girl
With Asian eyes and Western
Hair, where are you from?

Well Nobody... apicture like tha evokes heavy Tokyo imagery for me, and I think you are right, as in many things about tokyo..you just had to be there. I like pictures like this one because You can hit an emotion without resorting to the metaphysical too much. I really think that a haiku should be like a poloroid picture. Some of the potos used are really hard to get that snapshot feeling and some are easy, and some should be easy but turn out to be hard. And then you gotta try to get a sense of seasons in there too...a geat game.

I see that Nobody removed my comment about jazz and this blog.

So be it, cowardly it was.

I think I know why you picked your monicker.

for the anonymous above;

you threw your load to the comments here:

Mate, you are such a dickhead. You've confused this post with the one following. Your worthless comment has been there the whole time entirely uncensored.

Hmm... no surprises that you mis-perceive such things and come to some it's all about me mis-conclusion wherein you are the star of the whole episode. Sure.

Anyway mate, feel free to pile in on your own adventure starring you in the following post. God, it'll be great: it'll be all about you with you pushing all our buttons and we'll jerk about like automatons doing whatever you want.

Or not. Probably not actually. But pile in anyway and see what you can make of it - a hat, a brooch, oblivion, something like that...

nobody said...

P, you sneaky devil. I see now that when you were chatting to me before I only had half your attention. Obviously the other half was over here dealing with this bloke.

I'd condemn you for it, sure, except that I was doing the same thing myself, ha ha. Anyway, don't worry about it - I'll sort him out.
