Haiku Monday: SLEEP








  Metamorphosis!
Insectuous  dream horror
Gregor's waking Hell














Beauty under glass
Thorn'd, tangled, entrapping, rose
Apple sedation 
















Teal night sky with moon
Sweet Lion's breath kiss of peace
Gypsy dreams of God













Deep clover dreaming,
Rotating reality.
Damn! Human humor.

From Kafka homage to tipping slumbering cows (I'm still laughing)? Wonderful work! I especially like the Sleeping Beauty imagery. Poor apples; they never catch a literary break.

Happy Haiku Monday!

Cow tipping! I thought it was only an urban (or farm) myth. Bwahahahahaha.

I love the visuals especially the Gypsy moon.

Happy Haiku Monday!

Troll,
Thanks, I thought diversity was a good thing?

Moi,
God only knows what your friend Czar thinks of my invented word!
I'll blame Kafka for implanting the image which created the word in my brain.
GHM!
I sound like a politician.

Boxer,
The physics professors say,
"impossible!".
Every kid is the Carolinas says.
"Hilarious fun".
Their Mama's don't much like the barbed clothing or the mucky boots.

I love Rousseau's art. His palette!
His naive style! His humor! I wrote a paper in art school about my desire to have dinner with Rousseau to learn if my understanding of his humor/philosophy is accurate.

Rotty!
Such high praise, I am humbled.
I actually tried a funny little haiku about sleeping with chickens but feared I would get busted on accuracy:
Broody Easter chick
Nests upon her cabin perch
Dreaming with Koby

Happy Monday.

A fine mix this week. Remember the Wicked witch was evil not the apple. As so often happens the messenger takes the blame for the masters bidding.

An apple a day keeps the bends away. Hope you're having a good Monday.
