stop in snowy woods
pause to rest, clear my head, breathe
miles more to go

Billie Jean

We were not lovers
throwing caution to the wind:
The kid's not my son.

Billy Joe Armstrong:
Green Day front man, total hunk,
My first hopeless crush.

*Sigh*

the Lord protects me
my bounty comes from above
God's house is my house

[23rd Psalm]

ok. finally thought of two. they could be better, but it's a start:

True love conquers all
and the six-fingered man dies.
Inconceivable!


Forgetful Lucy
There's nothing like a first kiss.
or a waffle house.

Princess Buttercup
chooses true love, but too late?
"As you wish!" he cries.

I love The Princess Bride. :)

pirate and princess
revenge, rodents and rhymes
true love triumphs

ditto Rachel!

Loud screeching voice
surprise instrument of God
sacrifices self

[Owen Meany--rare 5 stars from me]

Her voice soars, they dance
charming drunkard finds true love
His life for a star


[A Star is Born]

If given the choice
between Rochester and John,
who would you prefer?

poor unfortunate
soul: to thine own self be true
you can do better

(a haiku in cliches, by Arctic)


[Jane Eyre]

Sex and the City

Stylish New York gals
Carrie loves Big - will he commit?
Go see the movie!

insects buzzing
eating and lazing about
in the summer sun

A haiku inspired by a haiku.

Insects buzzing, flying
bellies - no rest for the weary.
