words that didn't come to mind, part one: 10/08 - 10/25

It has come to my attention that I'm extremely behind on my endeavor to keep up with the Word of the Day feature over at Dictionary.com using haiku.  I'm not quite up to date yet, so I've decided to split the past few weeks into two posts, so when I finally do finish it doesn't feel like homework to read it.

Ta daaaa!!!!



10.08.2010
one restorative
wassail coming right up/the
blessing clogs the drain

10.09.2010

caught behind your
roborant smile, a hint of
cautionary tale

10.10.2010
logs and bolts boast: junk!
we lean our backs against the   
god-love bricolage

10.11.2010
for the child broken
in flight, my arms will be a
spoon-fed nepenthe

10.12.2010
the new excuses:
retrograde planets pull at
lost, eaten homework

10.13.2010
you say it first, then
I apocopate; you get
mad, then so do I

10.14.2010
blowing bubbles with
gum/slick hopscotch pop said my
little girl eye pie

10.15.2010
I’ll be loving you
to smithereens no matter
what hot mess you pull

10.16.2010
the best things are some-
times ineffable, like love
when it comes alive.


10.17.2010
my fulsome plea sheds
pity nowhere nearer than
your wildest dreaming


10.18.2010
bringing unwelcome
respite, our laconic meet-
and-greet stalled, stuttered. 


10.19.2010
all life is the sweet
and savory viand, blossomed
on our open mouths

10.20.2010
the duty call smacks
of antediluvian
charm and shiny brass

10.21.2010
if you look at me
with that coruscating grin,
you’ll get what’s coming

10.22.2010
his crepuscular
touch cooled rather than warmed her;
a sign of the end.

10.23.2010
parse me up and down
until the weight of me is
just a breeze you blow

10.24.2010
him slugabed, her
early bird, them moon and sun
round and round and round.

10.25.2010
I’ll be a juju
you can hang me around your
neck and let me shine
