Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday: Joy and Fury

It’s something I guess

Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday

I don’t take many things seriously as you probably know but I am going to make a concerted effort to do Colleen’s challenges properly when I do them. I have scant regard for the correct use of haiku and tanka and often do such beastly things to them but I think it is also important to show appreciation for the little blighters because they are so fabulous when done right.

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for JOY and FURY I used BLISS and RAGE.


 

Cold darkness rages

as green seeps slowly from sleep

then at last relents

and warm sun shines on my back

as I watch, bliss returning

like well cooked chickens

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for BOND and SEEK.  I used Love and Search.  Does ‘t quite tick all the boxes but it’s something.


Grey sky and sea merge

Love lost beyond horizons

searching and waiting

eyes closed she feels cold waves crash

lost at sea but still she hopes

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Body & Close

Don’t like it? That’s because it’s true.

Ronovan provides the words.  Then a haiku follows.  Though mine are kinda haiku in form only and I believe senryu in every other way and this week there are two.  The second to get the taste of the first out of your mouth.

 

Body close to hers

warm hands on cold clammy skin

necrophiliac

 

quick read this

 

Close the curtains please

late night fridge trip, body shows

need to bleach my eyes

Don’t like it? That’s because it’s true.

they sing his praises

Peace in the name of their god

and then rape children

 

Harsh but true.  I think it’s about time people stopped using the phrase ‘Child Abuse’ and call it what it is.  Child Rape.  Yeah, you know who they are…

My Weekly Fetish Haiku 19th of January

Fairly obvious this one I think.

Instead of stopping these it was suggested that I simply do one a week instead.  I’m sure you know which one this is right …

Click.  Weather channel

soaring temperatures forecast

sploosh.  Need new trousers.

 

Actirasty
Yup, turns out some people get all splooshy and feel aroused by the sun’s rays.  Living in England I guess there is very little chance of me exploding all over my good work trousers because of a prolonged period of pleasant weather.  I don’t really know how this one works to be honest.  Is sun burn the holy grail of acrirastists?  Is sun screen a major turnoff?

Maybe this is made up.  But then it can’t be as it’s on the internet and the internet doesn’t lie.

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Press and Touch

Haiku challenge using press and touch…

Ronovan provides the words.  Then a haiku follows.  Though mine are kinda haiku in form only and I believe senryu in every other way.

Cold winds press my cheeks

icy fingers painting white

earth feels winters touch.

Yeah see and you thought it would be all weird because it was press and touch right.  Something along the lines of…

an unwelcomed touch

my name is kevin spacey

“pervert!” say the press

But I am better than that.  I am.  Honest.

My Weekly Fetish Haiku 12th of January

Fairly obvious this one I think.

Instead of stopping these it was suggested that I simply do one a week instead.  I’m sure you know which one this is right …

 

 

Razor discarded

nature in all her glory 

rum rampant run free

Pubephilia
So turns out it is the arousal to pubic hair.  Now I don’t know not whether folk are excited by particular styles, they might well be, I didn’t research much further than that.  It is fairly obvious the route it would go down, starting at brazilians and ending in the use of the phrase ‘classic 70’s muff’.  I wont waste anyone’s time.

This week the challenge was to use synonyms for GUIDE and DESTINATION.  I used MAP then STEER and INTENTION then DESIGN.  And its about change so that is another box ticked, and it is in the first person kind of maybe so I am thinking I have the structure and subject just about nailed if nothing else.


A path less travelled

raw emotions unchartedn

no map or compass

No intention or outcome

passenger to circumstance

 

Heart, fragile design

it races headlong unchecked

wildly, no steer

Until rest, satisfaction

contented at journeys end

 

Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge: Magic and Hope

Haiku challenge using ‘Short’ and ‘Sexy’. I feel I may be being set up…

Ronovan provides the words.  Then a haiku follows.  Though mine are kinda haiku in form only and I believe senryu in every other way.

 

hope springs eternal

like magic it inspires

until you give up

Oh lordy that was a bit bleak wasn’t it.

She feels the magic

first impressions electric

and hopes he’s not gay

Hmm no still a bit dour

Walt’s magic kingdom

bringing hope for sick children

a treat before death

Oh I think maybe I should just give up today.   There was such potential for merriment and hope and things of beauty.  

😉

My Weekly Fetish Haiku 5th of January

I don’t mean offence.

Instead of stopping these it was suggested that I simply do one a week instead.  I’m sure you know which one this is right …

Only got one arm?

tell me you were born like that

I need a moment

Hey I don’t mean me there okay just a metaphorical me in the name of the haiku.  The more I research this stuff the more bizarre it gets.  I get that the heart wants what the heart wants and a very good friend mine, a strapping handsome lad of 6ft plus, is married to a hunchback dwarf.  She is lovely and they have been together forever, have a kid and have always seemed very much in love and rather happy.

Now I dont think he’s with her because of the differences though, he doesn’t seem the type of chap.  Then again I might not know him at all and he might be a right dirty bastard who only wants her because of her hump and short stature and loves nothing more than twirling her around at the end of a long day.

Hmm.  Nah, she wouldnt let him shes rather feisty.  And, if it was a proper fetish I reckon he would need more than one hunchback dwarf in his life.

Oh it’s all very confusing.

 

 

 

Teratophilia is the arousal to the congenitally deformed

Haiku challenge using ‘Short’ and ‘Sexy’. I feel I may be being set up…

I’ll try to singe them…

Deep subcutaneous burns

Can’t kill crabs with fire.
