At the register,
Finding out that my items
are on sale this week.
~J~
The start of Autumn...
When the world puts its feet up
after a long day.
~J~
Yes, I’m a grown man,
But a swivel-chair spin still
makes me smile inside :o)
~J~
Crying at weddings,
Jew-y singing and dancing,
Frisbee on Sundays.
~E[Dot]S~
WIN, LOSE, OR DRAW each
afternoon at the office;
my fave appointment.
~E[Dot]S~
Dear Recessions: you
are my favorite bar for
so many reasons.
~E[Dot]S~
Among them: sticky
tablecloths, resemblance to
a hotel lobby.
~E[Dot]S~
Also, who can beat
those King Kong beers and french fries?
Or duct-taped couches?

MCLUHAN RUINED
Experimenting
With new narrative structures

MUFFINS IN OVENS
What's the best part
About twenty five year olds?
(NOT there are twenty)
SOUNDS LIKE A BORING DREAM
And when I woke up
(The answer may surprise you)
My pillow was gone
UNLESS THEY CAN TALK
One muffin says to
The other muffin, "They can
Legally rent cars."
I SAID, "WHAT ABOUT
"BREAKFAST AT TGIF?"
AND SHE SAID, "I THINK...
"Eateries often
"Treat you like a VIP
"At off-peak hours"
~P~
Blurring the edges
between art and frame, or like
this, title and verse
~J~
And did I mention,
That I really love puzzles?
Keeping that in mind...
Might I be so bold
as to suggest adding “Just”
To the third title?
~J~
This is exactly
The kind of clever wordplay
I meant in round one!
~J~
I TOO WEAR THE MASK
I say "sounds"
By using three syllables
Sow-ün-duz. Deutsch style!
~P~
HIDING FRUSTRATION BEHIND
Good job pointing out
To everyone that's cc'd
How my counting sucks
~P~
CAT EMOTICONS >'_'<
It takes skill to be
Blatantly, aggressively
Passive-Aggressive
~P~
KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE,
AND YOUR CUTE GIRLS NAMED ALY
SEATED TO YOUR LEFT
Now I'll sit up front
Under the professor's nose
And thus out of sight.
~P~
With Apologies to Emily
Any worth their salt
look beyond syllables to
meaning and intent.
That said, get it right.
the structure gives guidance to
creativity. And it really bothers me when people don't adhere to the format.

Liberal arts school
didn't teach me McLuhan.
Am completely lost.
~Мир~
Ok, never mind.
I love Wikipedia.
and the following:
A free beer disguised
as assisting a good deed.
Mike, you have my vote.
Wake up at seven.
Realize it's a Saturday.
Return to pillow.
A cup of coffee,
the news (not too bad) online,
pajamas still on.
Feeling productive
while spending twenty minutes
producing haiku
~Мир~
Eating Crunch Berries.
A moment’s bliss causing a day
Of suffering.
~J~
AMONGST MY FAV THINGS
Sometimes I get so
Enamored with the process
I lose sight of the goal
~J~
IS LETTING THE WORLD KNOW
My apologies,
I meant to applaud you for
Raising the word bar
~J~
HOW SMART I SURE IS
My most recent gaffe
In a lifetime of gaffage.
(Diddy/cheesecake poem)

THERE ONCE WAS A MAN FROM ALBERT'ER
Marshall McLuhan
Wrote "The medium is the
"Message," long ago.
WHOSE GIVEN NAME WAS HERBERT
For example, this
Haiku conveys a meaning
Aside from its text
HE TAUGHT / AT FORDHAM
We expect something
Out of the five-seven-five
That we don't of prose.
(If I were to write in this manner would you know this is a haiku?)
(JESUITS COULD AFFORD'IM)
Composing haiku
Both constrains our content
And opens our minds
NOW GRAD STUDENTS QUOTE HIM VERB'ER'TIM
Mostly, however
I like name-dropping
So grad school's not wasted
~P~
FEEL FREE TO LOOK FOR OTHER ERRORS
I'd like to point out
Last entry's counting mistake
Before any y'all
~P~
