A Letter Away: Senryu
A LETTER AWAY
Beware and be alert
Posting: so close to posing
That they can switch rôle

WAVINGNWEAVING
Waving to weavers
While weaving while wondering
Why weave and why why
While weaving while wandering
Wondering, weaving, waving

This is dedicated to all readers who are also writers, and especially those who may be called – by themselves or by others – poets.
Irony And Ignorance
IRONY AND IGNORANCE
The ant and the elephant
Each mistress of her own kingdom
And victim (twice) of history
Each ignorant of the other
Yet both have the same ending
Strange the way things work out
Playing With Words
PLAYING WITH WORDS
You can’t stand while sitting
Nor sit while you’re standing
But you can lie if you choose
whether with or without lying
In fact lying is so versatile
You can lie while standing
Sitting or walking as well
And sitting too is a little bit flexible
For even though you can’t stand sitting
you can still enjoy sitting at will
So if you’re ever accused of lying
You can change your position
Saying “I wasn’t REALLY lying …”
I think it’s called playing with words
Senryu On Cheese
EDAM
Distinctive flavour.
What makes this Dutch cheese unique?
It is made backwards.
