Last week, we crowned Island Rider, Queen of the Haiku! Her social commentary on the heavy loads our homeless carry smack into fading shades of graying shadows, was just too powerful a punch. Even for the always favorite Blazng, who gut checked us with her ever plastered SMILE! (Anyone thinks she's just drunk, or is it the pound of plastered on make-up and rat poison that makes her smile stick so?)
I don't know if it was her utter excitement for the WIN or she, too, thinks I'm HOT, but this week Island Rider has decided to honor me with an entire theme in my name. (HELLO?!?!? Is there anything more pesky than a silly gay boy with his bone on? Hardly...HaHa!!!)
For her, I have two
#1
Fire's on the mountain
Burns the flesh that taunts my soul
Jesus cries within
#2
FIRE! FIRE! Brain's on FIRE!
Doused with water; didn't work
Demons rule the roost
This second 'ku actually comes from a poem I wrote about a year and a half ago.
Drag'n On My Heels:
Fire! FIRE! My brain's on Fire!!
Find the town crier...MY DAMN BRAIN IS ON FIRE!
Gun'n my engine; running free, running clear
Always keeps up, always stays near
Dragon's on the loose; I'm start'n ta tire
Bogged down in the mud; filthy with mire
Head's caught in flames of the funeral pyre!
The Dragon, she keeps coming, matches in hand
Comes with her demons, that make up her band
So heated up, I'm almost ablaze,
Choking and stricken within a smoldering haze
Can't find my way out of this illogical maze
Ring Ring; "911, what's your emergency?"
"Hello! My damn brain is on FIRE!"
You tell me, "Hold on. Cool water's on the way"
I scratch and I scream; I keep you at bay
"Oil and water; not a good mix
Where's that damn dragon...I'm needing a fix?!?"
Fight fire with fire!
That's what they say
Go down with the ship?
I don't wanna pay!
Can't foot the bill?
Best pray for God's WILL!!

Sorry, not my most funny of posts, but like most crap in life, if you flush it; it will swirl...just pray there's no residue left sit'n in the bowl! If there is, though...keep on FLUSH'N!
Blessings everyone!!
Rafa
Wow! Very powerful imaginery. The visuals make the words stand out as well. Check back tomorrow night for winners post. You all warned me it would be hard to pick a winner and you were right!
ReplyDeleteRafa,
ReplyDeleteExcellent poems!! As always your words and visuals leave me bursting with emotions. The second is my favorite. I recognized where it came from as I read it. I remember reading the original poem vividly. You've managed to sum it up & capture the soulful emotions in a mere 17 syllables. Truly amazing Darling!
Good Luck :))

So I got your message on the Haiku and I am going to try and attempt the challenge. I'm sure it will probably be a disaster but fuck it why not.
ReplyDeleteI had something to do for Becca over at Everyday Life first tho and because of that I know have something for you over at on my Blog if you want to stop by :-D

ReplyDeletexoxo
You charmer you!
ReplyDeleteOf course i'm drunk! ;D
I love both of your 'ku's .... but it's the 2nd one that really gets me.
Get out of my head! lol
Even the poem is like a page outta my life!
You never cease to impress and inspire!

@Island Rider:
ReplyDeleteI'm excited you LIKE! (Well, to be honest, I'm always a might excited, but that's neither here nor there). Judging's tough, for sure, but the beauty of it all is any one that you pick is a WINNER, judge is ALWAYS right, and there is no appellate court...it's GREAT to be QUEEN. (minus the shoes...damn high heels with their pointy toes bind at my big toe!)
@CoreyJo:
I think it was this poem that you finally got smacked with some realization...I'm freak'n NUTS!! Seriously, you were super during all my craziness, and I couldn't have asked for a better virtual hug...yours truly are the smushiest!! (must be those damnable double D's you be rack'n).
@GBM:
THAT'S AWESOME! Can't wait to see what you come up with. Know it doesn't have to be so serious, like above. A while ago, I threw one down that hardly won any awards, but was certainly a fan fave:
Rooster's in the HOUSE
Cock-a-poodle-dudel-ing
Jackass lays no egg
Oh, and molte grazie for the award!!! That was super sweet of you. If anyone's interested in reading a bit of funniness go HERE!
@Becca:
Well, you outta know my motto by now...what's yours is mine; then RUN!!! HaHa. If you were a boy, I'd take your breath and raise you a penis. Sucks for you that a nub'n for the rub'n has no play in my silly games of love and war. =D
@Blazg:
Snake charmer, to you, Darl'n! I knew you had to be drunk....your make-ups on too sloppy gloppy!!
Glad I could touch you...but still no kisses?!?!? I'll take your hugs and raise you some lips...just don't be mad if they smell of crap!
Thanks everyone for stopping in and leaving me some love! It puts a pep in more than just my step--
Rafa
Rafa,
ReplyDeleteI knew you were nuts when you told me the story of your trip to boys town and the lime green shoes. Anyways I'm glad I was able to help, even if it was just virtually. You've been a big source of comfort & guidance for me. Even if you don't have DD's to soften your hugs, your silly gay ass has always managed to lift my spirits & let me feel loved.
Thanks for the link to GBM. Two words: Hilariously Brilliant!!
CoreyJo
p.s. You can pop on over to Monkeys & Windex if you wanna see my answers & questions. ;P
Rafa,
ReplyDeleteSo i'm a snake eh?! lol No trouser snake here darl ....
However, I have been known to charm a few trouser snakes in my day. ;D
Kisses were supposed to be included ... it was an oversight.
Just please, wash your face, brush your teeth and gargle!!!! Crappy lips are NOT sexy!
Have a lovely day!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
@CoreyJo:
ReplyDeleteOh! Yeah...but that was more like crazy HOT (and they weren't just any ol' lime green shoes, btw, but high heels attached to sneakers. Turrible, just turrible), this poem was plum coo coo for fra' diablo with his pitchfork up my ass.
Ginger boi's super cute, huh?!? (he's funny to me).
Oh, and I got your DD's, Darlin'...2 shots in one is double delicious and makes coming together all the more squishy!!!
Blazng:
I'm sorry, I was talking to the snake in your arse...or was that just a rubber mallet for shits & giggles? Sorry, my bad!!
This is why I do dudes...it's hard to stay hard with sounds of your mother screeching in your ear.
Trust me:
With frolics a coming
I'm sure to start pretty
Pearly's are white
Lips; ruby red
When love'n turns to shove'n
All bets are off
Hands will get dirty
Fingers in boot
Tongue will get frothy
Lapping his toot
What's crappy to gals
Is fun between pals
What can I say?
I'm an ass sniff'n dawg, blissfully gay!
X's; Frenchie style!!
Rafa =D
Raf: this one's for you
ReplyDeleteKid in candy shop
I dab on product in search
of my true colors.
Visiting here late but smiling as I enjoy not only your amazing poems and pics but also the wonderful comments.
ReplyDeleteShall I leave you kisses too?
I do hate to be left out of the fun
xxx's and hugs
@Grins:
ReplyDeleteYou're a sweet talker, Grins...right down to your thorny BONE!!! Thanks for the poem... It barked right up my tree, then pissed its true colors all over my damn self!!!
@Mynx:
Well, aren't your the flirtation lil' tardy tart whisp'ring me nothings as you shiver ma' timber with thoughts of kisses being blown my way?
As much as I wish, "the more the faerie'r" I'll always be happy with gals that are merrier.
With that being said:
"Of course," says ma' HORSE!
To your puss whup'n ways
"Giddy UP, climb aboard, don't you be shy
I'm open 'n hope'n; awaiting your kiss
Pucker your lips; lead with your tongue
Part 'way my curlies; tickle ma' bung!"
If only your wishes smelled less of fishes
& rub'n 'n grub'n your poor lil' nub'n
Was more like the toy that hangs from a boi
THAT would be fun we ALL could enjoy!
(Haha...sorry...just a bit of nonsensical silliness)
Sorry for the late replies--
Rafa
