FAR MORE THAN DECORATION

FAR MORE THAN DECORATION

–

Mention the woman’s name “Holly”

And folks think about Christmas jolly…

Singing DECK THE HALLS

While a snow drift calls,

In a Christmas culturally “poly”.

–

She wanted to go away,

Then decided to stay…

Our Holly found

Without her around,

A lot of folks felt dismay!

–

Her writing’s a treasure trove

Fashioned in creative love…

Greeting each guest

She does the best,

And really has nothing to prove!

–

Last of all–to put up with me–

Requires  to the Nth degree…

Kindness unbounded

From a guy who’s hounded

His share toward insanity!

–

Love her romancing her–no–

But I love the rest of her so…

If I was available

She’d be assailable,

Why a guy hasn’t–I don’t know.

–

I fervently wish she can–

If she wants–to find a good man…

Whatever she needs

With my Father I plead,

That she may not leave us again.

–

Some day, of course, many will,

When blogging won’t pay bills…

Or another medium

Makes better comedians,

Then will our blog go still.

The blogging beauty !

<3 MY LOVE FOR LADY BLOGGERS! <3

❤     MY LOVE FOR LADY BLOGGERS     ❤

–

Avowed love of lady bloggers,

Hard-working creative bloggers…

I love thee all

For me you stand tall,

Driving us romantics bonkers!  🙂

–

Some of you are very fetching,

Appearance not all that’s catching…

The mind and heart–

Thy very art–

Draweth me to your fine meshings!

–

By word and artistic guile,

You make this creative man smile…

Cry and laugh

On your behalf,

Each in a wonderful style.

–

Long distance hugs the rule

In this community cool….

Cool in attitude

To not be rude,

Suggesting of anything cruel.

–

Group hugs all around,

My love to all of you found….

In likes and raves

From this former knave,

Who likes in whose company he’s found!

😀

HARD-TO-HEAR HAIKU

HARD-TO-HEAR HAIKU

(Adult Topic)

–

Become impotent

His fading manhood laments…

But what is inside?

-JEC

–

Little feeling left,

No place left to vent the ache…

Must thinking change, too?

–JEC

–

Engorgement all gone,

Being faithful accepts lack…

No one left to love.

–JEC

–

How to love without?

Can a man still be a man”’

His woman knows that!

–JEC

–

Appreciates form,

Less likely liquid lusting…

Why keep the old ways?

–JEC

–

Is safer this way…

For all women that he sees,

Much less threatening!

–JEC

Power lust remains,

That…no non-phallic can cure…

Bad apples near tree.

CHANGING TREE TANKA

CHANGING TREE TANKA

–

Colors start to pop,

Trees shut down their leaves’ supply…

Green leaves turn colors:

Morphology is working

Just the same in ev’ry year!

–J.E.C.

–

People come from far

And near…”peeping” foliage…

Brighter is better:

Bus loads come en mass to shop.

Local business harvests crops!

–J.E.C.

–

A final push all

Benefit from folderol…

Festivals light skies:

Candied apples and brown bread

Folks ready for winter dead.

–J.E.C.

–

Railroad excursions,

Northeast woodland incursions…

Train cars filled with joy:

Steam or diesel pull the trains,

Nostalgic commerce makes gains!

–Jonathan Caswell

AUTUMN HAIKU HERDING

AUTUMN HAIKU HERDING

–

Fall plantings are in,

Cabbages, hardy mums bloom…

Autumn colors glow!

–

Warm days–cooler nights

Ushering those southward flights…

Noisily birds fly.

–

Harvest time each year,

Dresses and skirts lower hems…

Less yield for the men!

–

Snow birds fly or drive,

Commuting to stay alive…

Rubber tires fly!

–

Children play in leaves,

Hot chocolate sales go up…

Deserted beaches!

–

Eggs and produce come

Veggies come from foreign lands…

Locally–now!

–

–Jonathan Caswell

SOME DO…MOVE ON!

SOME DO…MOVE ON!

–

A loyal churchman wondered

Why his was torn asunder…

One Pastor left

And they were bereft

Why so many moved, he wondered?

–

He wanted to condemn

The resulting mayhem…

Some may be true

But people must do

Whatever makes sense to them.

–

Bloggers leave all the time,

Perhaps on commercial climb…

Or get tired–

Uninspired–

Needing a chance to rewind.

–

Overall technical stress

Brought Ron DuBour and I, to WORD PRESS…

His FACEBOOK keeps going

While mine is slowing,

I focus on THIS address!

–

Inner needs we don’t know

Convince people to go…

Then, fare thee well,

You’re changing…do tell..

Moving to continue to grow!  🙂
