Ali's Haiku-isms #21

Better Use for Coke

Coke I will not drink
I just use to clean the sink
Pepsi's just as bad

Happy

It's true what they say,
when opening every can,
coke is happiness.

joy

Bubblelicious coke
bringing pleasure to my life.
the joy of my life!

"Rules for life" - Haiku 1 - Week 5 (Theme: Coke)

"Rules for life"

Live passionately
be kind, ambitious, fun, and
have an ice cold Coke.

Ali's Haiku-isms # 20

A Subtle Coke Ad

Drink Coke and feel good
They say caffeine rots your teeth
I tell them screw you

The world of Coca Cola

Bubbles, joy, and fun,
happiness in a bottle!
Great message to sell.

By: Loipa Ramos

Sibling Rivalry

Coke's blood related,
Pepsi's the adopted child,
not loved quite the same.

Chapstick Haikus

My chap

lips are dry tonight,

I cry for your pleasant glide.

chap I need you now.

Your Magic

I need your magic,

I need you to save me now.

Lips and chapstick, one

Where are you

You hide in my pants,

and get lost in my pockets.

Where have you gone now?

Like Honey

I love kissing you,

like sweet honey and soft silk.

My chapstick you are fine

Without You

I crack when you are gone,

I am nothing without you.

come and soothe my dry lips, chap.

Pavlov's Dog - Coca Cola #1

Pavlov's Dog

Snap, Hiss, bubbles, Bliss.

The cling -clang of the glass makes

my mouth curl and smile.

Knight in Shining ChapStick

Softening the rough,
I only have lips for you,
My sticky wonder

Tyler's Haikus and Poem

Bad Situation - 

My lips are so dry 

Is there anything that can 

quench their thirst quickly

Chapstick > Carmex -

There is a new brand 

Carmex is not like Chapstick 

My lips hurt more now

Aficionado - 

They said try Burt's Bees

I’m an aficionado

I quickly exclaimed

Pardon Me - 

What did you say sir,

Your lips are severely chapped,

Here's the quick fix! 

Oasis-

A desert they are

But an oasis awaits

Here in Chapstick 

Poem -

Loving her is like 

Wind in my hair 

Adrenaline in my blood

Seeing her is like colors so bright you’d swear it wasn’t real

Venturing into the unknown

Throwing away every doubt

Touching her is like getting everything you’ve ever wanted

Realizing your dreams

Something only once imagined

Knowing her was like a childhood friend 

Everything’s clear

Everything’s right

Loving her is perfection 

"In Love, In Slumber" Poem for Week 4

In Love, In Slumber

To sleep beside you
is the most human of comforts
and the greatest blanket to share

Unconscious in sleep, even still we are together
Separated only by interrupting dreams
The only cold permeating the warmth of slumber

Last night,
I dreamt you lost me in your memory
Didn't recognize my face, nor touch
not forgotten, simply never known
I, was unfamiliar.

But as I awoke, startled into reality
you, still far in your unconscious slumber
greeted me with reassuring arms
And I knew, you knew me.

Little do we know my dear,
Of the road that lays before us,
But so long as our hearts
dwell beside one another in slumber
That will always be home.

"The Cherry on Top" Week 4 - Haiku 5 (Theme: Chapstick)

"The Cherry on Top" 

Chapstick for soft lips,
yummy flavors, and a kiss?
The cherry on top!

Ali's Haiku-isms # 19

Battle Cry

Flaky lips, be gone!
By the power of Chapstick
Thy dry lips be quenched

Poem # 4 - A Bed of Lovers

As the morning dawns, my love awakes
Her soft hands tread upon my face

Her face angelic, and her gaze hypnotic
How could anyone resist her grace?

My heart pounds fast and my mind goes blank
As her lips meet mine in soft embrace

Her winter pale skin and her hazel green eyes
are a marvel to behold from my nesting place

As I wake up fully admiring her beauty
Time stands still and so does space

Her glowing hair fills my body with delight
A feeling so grand, too difficult to replace

Our bond is strong, we will never grow apart
For the love we share is too powerful to erase

"Kiss On!" Week 4 - Haiku 4 (Theme: Chapstick)

"Kiss On!"

A lip balm so soft
for a date, or everyday
Go ahead, kiss on!

Crisis solved!

Damn sweet lips-oh-mine

Broken, hurting. What I’ll do?

Put chapstick, that’ll do.

By: Loipa Ramos 

They come true

I can’t believe I just realized

you where there this whole time.

Waiting for the perfect hour

to kiss me strongly and filled with power.

I got lost inside that kiss,

and made in silent just one wish.

That I would never have to bear

kiss another or compare.

By: Loipa Ramos 

Love's Reflection

I had love once,
it scarred me for life.
I thought I was done,
alone and loveless,
just myself in the mirror.

You showed up unexpectedly,
blindsided my heart,
caught me off guard.
Emotions paralyzed
by uncertainty and fear.

You didn't give up hope,
your patience served me well.
Not done, just dormant,
I felt my heart's binds melt.
Now it's us the mirror.

My token

I am like a kid
that just got her first doll;
excited for the presents
and for the token of love.

You are the token
I've been waiting to get.
I am so lucky to have you,
I am so lucky, you care.

Wishing time is over,
already got what I want.
Now, I'll play with you
until we start to fade.

Broken lips

Lips like broken streets,
preventing a fun journey.
Screaming, please help me!

Faithful ChapStick

My lips are big sluts,
they've kissed many who have left.
but you stand by me.

Sarah Menacho

Cracked Lips

They're just so very dry,
"Please give us moisture!" they cry,
Not today, I sigh.

Sarah's Poem for 10-26-12 and Haiku 10-26-12

NOLALOVE

Some people go to her looking for a dream,

$10 for a sazerac and a penny for her thoughts. 

God looks down and sighs, while the devil half smiles.

She’s beautiful and timeless. 

A vortex that will suck you in

Spit you out half paralyzed.

But to fall into her trap

And take her for all she is,

You’d be one lucky son of a gun,

I know I sure is. 

I love her and fear her,

Made a monster out of me once before.

Her heart beats heavy,

A sordid past that still haunts her.

Yet I melt into her madness,

Sometimes it’s hard to breathe,

Inhibitions lost,

Just leave me be.

She’s got a collection of souls,

And only awakes in the night,

That’s when she’s really alive,

That’s when those souls give her life.

I’ve danced with her all night long.

So many times before,

Moving to her wild rhythm,

Then falling to the floor.

Am I drunk from this sazerac?

Or is it her that’s got me down?

No matter though,

I’ll keep drinking them both down.

A free spirit,

I could never tame,

Maybe that’s why I love her,

We’re both one in the same.

Built by the Gods,

I think Bacchus himself.

He visits once a year,

Just for a night,

She’s too much even for him,

Though we’ll both agree, she’s one hell of a sight.

Yes, she’s beautiful and rapturing,

She’ll steal a piece of your heart,

She took mine long ago

I let her have it I just laid there arms open,

I knew she’d never give it back.

And when I dream of her at night

What a whirlwind it is,

Because to dream with Ms. New Orleans,

Man that’s all there really is.   

HAIKU

I'm sleepy today,

I'm sorry about last night,

I don't know what for.

Love poems

Mystical Creature

love is a mystical creature

one people have heard of

yet never have laid eyes upon

although it has never been conquered

people still believe,

but they must

a world without love

is lost in darkness

Consumption

love awakens the soul

it reaches down deep 

into the crevasses of your heart

and latches on with an almost suffocating grip

a force that cannot be ignored

it consumes your mind 

and devours your emotion

until you are one

Rapture

It forces its self upon you

like a sweet and steady rapture

hypnotized by this force

a feeling of helplessness occurs

though you do not seek to fight back

you let it have your way with you 

and with no avail it takes you,

lifts you up into a state of euphoria

an unknown place that feels like home

The Greatest Addiction

A taste that can never be forgotten

your whole body begins to crave

it begs for more

fixated on this feeling

you lose yourself in enslavement

eternally absorbed in love

you are forever indebted 

Ali's Haiku-isms # 18

Soul Chaps

It healed my dry lips.
If only there were Chapstick
to heal my cracked soul.

Save me

Dry as a desert,
that cries for a stormy rain.
Someone save my lips!

Sweet cure

Sad lips? They’re blue.

You don’t know what to do,

'Lip Shield' will help you.

Ode to Heroes 10-23-12

Heroes, oh heroes,
I forgot what sleep feels like,
Oh to dream again.

People pass and never smile,
Stop and take a breath

while the breeze hits my face.
I am daydreaming!

Chap My Stick

My lips feel quite dry
So I whip out my chapstick
Ready for a kiss?

It is sweet, gentle.

Is devoted, transcendent.

What I feel for you.

Tyler's Haiku's

Almost over

There is no way out 

Wait there is, I can see it

November the sixth 

Pure Douche 

Ocean drive south beach,

the douchery astounds me

mankind's new low point

Here we go

Never sure whats best,

the life of a MAS student

studying abroad

Lame

Almost thirty now

no energy to go out

what happened to me

Apple lust

New products released

Apple again I want you,

I have no money

You Release the Inner Me

I let my guard down,
all my walls crumble away,
because I am with you.

"You" Week 3 Poem (Theme: Love)

You,
Stranger
are the man who caught my eye
the very first hour,
you had me.

Caped in your shadow
grieving hard lessons learned
wearing the armor that holds your body upright
and your heart
impenetrable.

Within you, I see
Circling vultures
protecting a fragile nest
where I may never be welcome

You are always,
one word shy of
the three words I need

But with you,
I have fallen in love.

To be the one who

"My guy and I escaped from school" Poem

Kristina's Poem:
My guy and I escaped from school

My guy and I
Escaped from school
To tour the Emerald Isle
And even though the quarter started
We were still in denial

we'd just submitted all our work
for our portfolio review
and figuring we'd need a break
to Ireland we flew

The very first day we rented a car
a red cardboard box on wheels
a manual car with a gearbox so fucked
it sounded like 12 barking seals

We started in Dublin
and beelined all around the coast
stopping at every pub along the way
to celebrate with a proper Irish toast

But apparently Karma thought that we
bit off more than we could chew
On the 5th day I got food poisoning
On the 6th day he did too

Our road trip lasting 10 whole days
and countless miles and beers
a monumental trip it was
Our best trip of the year

Some say the the grass is always greener on the other side
But in Ireland the grass is literally greener
all cliches and kidding aside.

My guy and I
Escaped from school
To tour the Emerald Isle
and all in all, despite missed work,
it proved itself worthwhile!

Out in Ireland Last Week - 5 Haiku's!

Hi Nour! Last week I was out of the country in Ireland, so I appologize that I was not able to post my haiku's daily. Here are all 5 below, plus an extra one for being tardy!




WEEK 2 HAIKU's - Topic: Funny

1.
How new and exciting

How I love a brief
that has been assigned before,
said no one, ever.

2. Funny things

Funny things, you ask?
What a mighty hard task.
like haikus and flying.

3. Nonsense

Haikus are great,
They don't make a lick of sense
Happy dinosaur.

4.  Barf

Today I was sick
and throwing up for hours
Alas, not from drinking

5.  Fox News

What's funny to me?
Not yo mama jokes or clowns
but rather Fox News.

6. I'm Back!
Back from Ireland
Finally wi-fi again
Must upload haikus!

Poem # 3 - A Poet's Plight

To write of love, I do not know.
For what is this love they all speak of?

Love is a feeling most divine,
a sensation that transcends both space and time

A concept that only few have mastered,
while others pondered and felt bewildered

The beating of the heart,
the outpour of sweat

The trembling of legs,
the numbness of the mind.

All are symptoms relating to a disease...
One that's incurable and hard to appease,

And so you ask me here and now,
to write of love, that weird sensation.

No amount of words will ever define
that notion of love, that sweet elation.

Ali's Haiku-isms # 14

Define: Love

Love... Always painful
But never without sweetness
Well worth the effort

What If?

Just think,

If I'd left a minute sooner
If you'd come a minute later

If I hadn't met your glance.
If you'd missed me in the crowd

If you hadn't said "Hello"
If I hadn't said "Hi" back

I would never know true happiness
We would never know true love.

But you said "Hello"
I said "Hi" back

I met your glance
A spark of fire

Ignited love
Forever more

-by Camden

Happy Astronaut

Your scent, touch, and smile
send me to the moon and back.
I'm beyond lucky.

Racing heart, nervous, 

everytime I think of you.

Undeniable. 

By: Loipa Ramos

A promise

If I could tell you

in just one word,

what means to feel

your gentle touch.

If I could dream

to be with you,

for all eternity

in just a kiss.

If I could kiss you

night and day,

it would not bother

what others say.

If I could show you

how I feel,

when you whisper

close to my ear.

If I could change

the way life ends,

it would be holding

each other’s face.

But because I can’t do

all those things,

I’ll just share with you

what life may bring.

By: Loipa Ramos

Mine

Under a beautiful twilight

I see your smile.

I can't believe that you are here,

I can't believe that you are mine.

I am enchanted and flattered

by your delightful charmed.

I can't believe what I am feeling,

I can die in your arms.

Sarah's Haiku- 10-22-12

Ode to Beaver

I cocked my gun

Damn fool won't be comin' back

Together, always

Sarah's Poem 10-20-12

Georgia On My Mind

Georgia, Georgia, Georgia,

Yes, I’ve got Georgia on my mind.

It’s a different world out here,

One I can’t quite describe.

We are from the city,

Where things move fast.

Country life is slow,

When you’re used to traffic and people being an ass.

Characters are different out here,

They’re kind and polite.

It’s that southern hospitality,

People who were raised right.

There are some really special ones,

Truly esoteric.

Who don’t live in the same reality,

Like this man I met named Eric.

He has a chicken named “Baby Jesus,”

Because he showed up to his house on Easter Sunday.

And his other mother was a Cherokee Indian medicine woman. 

A different kind of character he is,

Claims he’s seen a unicorn and walks with bears.

And when he speaks to you,

You know he’s not really there.

He speaks with a slow southern drawl,

And never really looks you in the eye.

Pale skin,

And bright blue eyes.

He says he “makes art,”

And to the conventional world he does not oblige.

Our feet are on the ground,

His are somewhere floating in the night sky.

And then there was Beaver,

A carpenter I didn’t quite understand.

Believes the South will rise again,

Lives in the mountains, out in no mans land.

He’s lonely out there

Smokes cigarettes to pass the time.

I don’t think people visit him often,

So he felt like a king when we came by.

He entertained us with stories,

Some true, some probably a lie.

No matter though,

We smiled and laughed, he was a good guy.

Georgia, Georgia, Georgia,

Yes, I've got Georgia on my mind.

Where people move slow,

And smile when strangers pass by.

A different world,

One I still don’t understand.

Most of all,

How people just don’t care about dental plans.

Ali's Haiku-isms # 13

The Glimpse

My heart skipped a beat
Your eyes were magnetizing
But my mind went blank

Collide

Our eyes collide
underneath a starry sky;
I can still feel you.

Closer

Love is the feeling
when two bodies collide, touch.
Then come dance with me.

Tina's Poem 2

I flick open my zippo lighter
To spark my joint, hoping to get higher.
Light on my feet,
As I lay down on my sheet
To escape from reality and possibly flee,
From the chains of pressure and stress
It's time to give this shit a rest.

Haiku's 3,4,5_ week 2

         Penetrates my brain slowly,
             and it all begins.

             to tell a story.

#5  We are all mad here.
            Unleash your will to be weird.
                 A unique free bird.

Clean or Clever?

So much work to do,
no time for a good shower.
No one will notice.

Ali's Haiku-isms # 9 - The Old Singing Traveler

Old lady on bus
No one cares what song she sings
Why won't she stop?

Poem # 2 - License Woes

This weekend brought upon the deadliest foe
The driving instructor, who stooped so low

He's an evil man who I dare not call a bro
He flunked me for driving my car real slow

He seemed so welcoming as he said hello,
but how silly I was. He was putting on a show!

Despite my forgiving nature, I couldn't let go
For I had retake the test, he told me so

It was a painful experience I had to outgrow
Not the easiest pill to swallow though

So this is how I spent my weekend, full of woe
As I wallowed in self pity with a piece of gâteaux

I took the test again, and proved I was a pro

He responded "That was some sick driving, yo!"
