"Haiku" is like "squirrel," apparently; some think it has two syllables, some three. Poets used to shorten words with an apostrophe when it suited them.

Ha ! So, a four-syl

My focus on mechanics reminds me of an anecdote. I once witnessed an exchange between a New York advertising illustrator and an importer of European modern art. The illustrator had spent time coming up with his own color wheel -- a means of "guaranteeing" complementary hues and shades for other artists' use. After listening to the earnest illustrator's spiel, the importer of Bracques and Picassos responded. In lofty tones he said, "Art . . . comes from the soul !"

this one time in Queens
I saw a squrl with no hair
on its tail. skinned bald.
.
one day lat'r I saw
the bushy tail skin in a
puddle. true story.

thats almost creepy
do you think self inflicted
or maybe shedding?
OR
obsessed squrl tail
hunter bags yet another
donald gets new hair
OR
donald needs new look
loves poofy squrl tail vibe
idiocracy

art comes from the soul
unless it doesn't. but it
is fun to pretend
.
a search for meaning
deep in the puddle of squrl
or pre-fab colors

definitely not
a case of moulting fluffy.
the tail was skinless
.
I would buy the tale
(ha! pun!) of the donald's hair
but it was '80
.
[googling images]
is that it? pretty squrly!
or this one? or that?
.
ok, maybe not
i was way way way way off
squrl 'do is lifelong

I can hold my breath forever, yet I like my pants today.
not hakui'd and quite buzzed,
Aunt Mark

That's it. I'm going to drop everything and dedicate my life to finding interiors to go with Mark's outfits.
No 1:

That sounded like fun until I came to this one.

Um -- yes. The concept does have its limits . . .
And no one should think that Aunt Mark would approve of our taste (?) in interior design !

pants-inspired works
in art, design and cuisine
no doubt will follow
.
the only thing that
SDR's and spanky's rooms
don't have yet is squrls

Everyone should have
squrls. Not having squrls is an
indictable offense !
.
Where, oh where, have my
little squrls gone. Where oh where
can they have got to ?
