Such a beautiful image - being carried by dragon flies on their backs...
Lovely poem expressing the serene tranquiity one too often is lacking.

2009-07-20
How painful... and well expressed, right from the heart.

2009-07-20
Well expressed, indeed!

2009-06-30
Thanks for my most recent nightly laughter!
Nicely penned, indeed.

2009-06-29
Nice twist to this one - Herode's men as the Irish mist, huh? ;-)
Hope you were able to sleep after such terrifying stories...

2009-05-10
Well, to get from E to B he had to pass C... ;-))

2009-05-10
Oh, but this is not dealing with size at all, just with not having one at all... Pity for both! ;-))

2009-04-16
Haiku? You're certainly bending the rules... ;-)
I like the images, evoking special memories...

2009-04-14
Sorry, to quick on the trigger - "...a cold, too!" ;-)

2009-04-14
Must have caught a cold - Prosit! ;-)

2009-04-14
When your brain's a mess
it will certainly caress
meeting Joe's Express'

;-)

Nice beverage haiku!

2009-04-14
Exactly! ;-)

2009-04-14
Hahaha! Praise the elation, all ye troubled and hard working - the internet shall make thee free, give thee eternal Fee... i.e. if thee open up to mee! Love thy neighbor over the internet... ;-)

Great advertisement! But then, I am already a fan of thine. ;-D

2009-04-13
You need to be apart together to fix the togetherness together, later on... ;-)
What a lovely delightful poem! Love the rhythm too...

2009-04-13
flying higher and higher, singing like a lark...
lovely images emerging from this one!

2009-04-12
Oh, that line was meant for Rob! ;-)

2009-04-12
Not in this case, believe me! ;-)

2009-04-12
Oh, he just slipped in... somehow. ;-)

2009-04-12
Twinkle, twinkle little star...
Of course it was convincing you of something marvellous!
Lovely poem about a precious moment. Thanks for sharing!

2009-04-11
Ah, he's an Aries!
Congratulations to him from another one...
Of course he'll have a wonderful Birthday!

2009-04-10
A sad, moving poem!
The worst things often seem to happen 'on a clear day'.

2009-04-10
Wonderful poem! And the myth is ever so moving...
Love the picture, the bird resembles a crane, famous for its dancing at a certain lake in the south of Sweden.

2009-04-10
True love is never a crime. Underlying the sincerity is a playful rhythm and I just love it. So, let's sin all we ever can och rejoice greatly!

2009-04-10
Ah, the little angel!
This is like a song. Is there a tune to it?
Such a wonderful poem!

2009-04-10
Ah, what a sad story! They had it all but lost it. I do recognize this story line...
Brilliantly narrated!

2009-04-10
Mmmmm, I love this one! So gentle and illuminating... the woe and yearning for what has been. Never being able to return other than in memory.

2009-04-10
What a lovely poem!
I need to visit Ireland, not just dream of doing so...

2009-04-09
Essence of pearls - they need to hold together. One pearl makes no necklace... But the sound of scattering is irresistible.
Lovely poem which holds together, indeed!

2009-04-09
Love-ly haiku!

2009-04-09
Of course not! Only experience will tell...
Lovely poem! Not revealing the mystery at all. ;-)

2009-04-09
Been there, too. Who hasn't?
Variety can be a blessing, sometimes... ;-)

Well expressed!

2009-04-09
You'll meet again
and you really know when...

Lovely poem!

2009-04-07
Ha ha - not no be told here...

2009-04-07
What a wonderful story! She will probably become a scientist.
Thanks a lot for sharing this gem!

2009-04-07
Yes, it has! And what a beginning... ;-)
It's fun writing limericks this way, I've done it in Swedish, confining to the rules in every sense. Suppose I should try it in English too...

But, where's the dirt?? Or am I asking for too much? ;-)

2009-04-07
Misplaced hearts may find their true places...
This is like a mini short story or a quick painting. A few strokes and the picture emerges...

Well done!

2009-04-07
Haikus can be strange
if you're counting syllables
nature won't enter

;-)

2009-04-07
Shoes have a habit of disappearing when you need them the most... I once misplaced a pair in the refrigerator. "What the hell...?" yelled my man. ;-)

I love these wicked playful dreams! Never stop "telling" us, please.

2009-04-07
Ah, but what about the gift from the start...? ;-)

2009-04-07
Now that's a burning picture!
This might do it... ;-))

2009-04-06
I won't get tired of them, I assure you!
But it's really necessary to regain power after such a dream... ;-)
And having a moonrise every hour is heavy stuff for a poet - indeed!

2009-04-06
Beautiful poem to the beloved and to yearning... A sweet thing bringing the lovers together again.

2009-04-05
Very well done, indeed!
I just wish that this poetry form would allow for portraying the heart. But that would call for changes of the rules.
Still, true love is sometimes like a ball, bouncing around playfully... :-)

2009-04-05
Yes, what a slip of spelling... Rather funny! I think I'll leave it that way. It might evoke a laughter, or even two... ;-)

2009-04-05
My god, I read it in tears. Of both joy and wonder, or better, awe, about your ability to pinpoint what it's all about. We are all alike, we are humans and we are all striving, one way or another, to communicate our innermost thoughts.

You are a true poet! And this poem stays with me. Also as a book mark.
Thank you so much for sharing this. And congratulations to being Editors' choice!

2009-04-05
I think your daughter is right! Obviously, you do too.
Thanks for yet another lovely dream!

2009-04-05
Playful and surreal as dreams often are - when not scaring the living daylights out of you...
Cool poetry from a cool poet! My little smile won't go away... Thanks!
Just close your eyes for a few seconds while I steal that lovely smelling bread...

2009-04-05
I must admit I don't understand every word.
But the meaning comes through... no doubt about that!
And you succeed in hiding the struggle.

Some dreams are really worth a poem - like this one!
Applauses!

2009-04-05
Round as a bouncing ball
we'll be longing for it all
wanting more than
just one call


sorry, just a fraction of the ball...


Wonderful playful poem!

Haiku by the thumb
makes you especially numb -
just don't lose your plum

Sorry, just couldn't help it.

Very nicely haikued by the thumb!
