The other woman
wakes, deflates the air mattress.
It's all circular. These may be from an unnamed
online haiku generator
I could not have come up with all this shit
The Polish waitress
tucks the gem beneath her tongue.
His ears fill with blood.
The zoologist
hides the orange behind the stove.
My dog has no fleas.
The hip-sprung school marm
blots her dark lipstick, pauses.
Somewhere a dog howls.
The arthritic nun
fills the sock drawer with mustard.
One more cigarette.
The slatternly nurse
removes her golden fake nose.
The cat fiddles on.
The sullen milkmaid
quickly dons her happy pants.
Hell, maybe. Who knows.
I decided to stop on this one
because a sullen milkmaid
in happy pants
cannot be denied

I think you are very brave
After reading at least two pages of rules and expectations, I cried and ate a tootsie roll... then saw your name and knew you would have the thing down pat.
Now I understand - no, who am I kidding - I just want an excuse to eat another tootsie roll!

I just read your last few writes - and I must say, damn you're good. I chose to comment on this one because it definetly stood out as my favourite.

Creative
Oh my goodness! This is very intriguing to say the least.
You do have a very creative mind! This is really a great write.
Good luck in the contest....this will be hard to beat.
It's crazy yet you cannot stop reading for fear you may miss something wonderful.
Very well done. Blessings! Tammy -
happy pants. .. phrases along that nature always remind me of the one person I knew who could lose her nylons without taking them off.. as I said once to CV/Lisa
It's all in the image.
best of luck..

Hehehe. Nopey never. I hear tell milkmaids are hot .. with or without happy pants. Excellent. I heard the dog howl again at the end.

Lol I love this one David.... milkmaid reminds me of a porn I saw once. They say porn never leaves your mind.. scarey huh? Well anyway this is very post modern, good luck with the contest my friend.

i once found an online haiku generator that took words from your livejournal (don't worry, i'm not the kind of person who uses a livejournal) and makes them into haikus. they were less inspiring.
black and white closeup
of a perfect honeymoon
some kind of music
your dream featured
the addictive aspect of
this innocent man
still cold so i place
the thinnest blanket over
my dad's naivete
and my personal favorite:
i ate three rolls
a grape and a sprite and went
to katie's party
WOAHHHH IT's ART OR SOMETHING jdbgkjbgx
some day i'll post a comment that has some relatively valid point to that but until then you're just going to have to remember that i'm awesome.

This works wonderfully, the use of "online haiku generator" is great....
Can't comment on the contest because I couldn't get through the rules, ran out of time...lol But whatever it's about, this should do very well....

Ha! David
I want what you were smoking when you wrote this 
I don't know why but I laughed all the way through. If I wasn't supposed to find this humorous, I deeply apologize, but it felt good. I'm coming out of the Nyquil fog, dear Artiste...Hallelujah!
Love to you,
Lane -
Oh!
I love 1, 3, 4, 5 I was a bit confused at first when you said "These are from ..." But once I got to the haikus I completely understood. All of them. Excellent.
Good luck in the contest. I just read them again. I like them so much. LOL

This reminded me of seventh grade. Out in the woods I wore my happy pants and played milkmaid with a girl who moved away at the end of the summer.
She wasn't so much into Haiku though. -
Hunh, What?
Can't remember the last time I milked a maid, so undoubtedly a good place to dally. And the crowd goes Hunh, what?
Awesomely original, goes with an old saying "If a duck flys south in the winter, how fast can a wheel barrow roll?" And the crowd...
Thanks for the word share,
Good Luck
