into a blue sky
the crow rose on tattered wings
sun piercing feathers
(how many syllables does piercing have? I make it two but it could be three if you annunciate properly...can we have a vote?)

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Jacket potatoes...gods snack? .....not sure about the sllyable thingie but liked your haiku anyway and e e cummings, well that is one of my all time fave poems...lovely stuff !Originally Posted by Hes
I did like baked potato and cheese
but now I have a vegan to please
hummus and olives are great
when combined on my plate
but after a jacketed spud
what shall I have for pud?
Hey, that has to be one of my better poems?
Top of the morning to ya!
The Swan
This laboring through what is still undone,
as though, legs bound, we hobbled along the way,
is like the akward walking of the swan.
And dying-to let go, no longer feel
the solid ground we stand on every day-
is like anxious letting himself fall
into waters, which receive him gently
and which, as though with reverence and joy,
draw back past him in streams on either side;
while, infinitely silent and aware,
in his full majesty and ever more
indifferent, he condescends to glide.

I take a firm line here.
For heavens sake don't be wary
Of the joys that come from the dairy
If your diet displeases
This shunner of cheeses
Then let his interest rate vary
now you've really got me going.....
At the risk of sounding cheeky
I'd say vegans are generally peeky
And you're bound to go mental
On a diet of lentil
And the lack of a good cock-a-leekie!
there! I've said it now....
Hee hee, that's very funny!
It aint a matter of being scared
but finding out when its prepared
vegan food is blooming tasty
and nothing about my boke is pasty
this man can run 30 odd miles
his firm physique gets my smiles
he has a diet in no way mental
which is not based on the humble lentil
we share the good things found in life
olives, large beans, dolmades with rice
our diet seems a little Grecian
even though it omits Fresian (that's pushing the rhyme I know)
with a glass of warming red
and perhaps a nibble on some bread
I find it is enough for me
on the days not solitary
but on those days he wouldn't mind
if he was to turn up and to find
me buried in a bowl of cream
or nibbling cheese, so it would seem
a militant man my bloke is not
he just would like a better lot
for all the creatures of the lands
whose fate he feels is in our hands
Old Whippet my friend, do not fear
a latte, omelette and palak paneer
are still favourite foods for me
it just makes sense not to be
reliant on dairy when he's present
cos then we cannot share the pleasant
food that we together make
before the other pleasures take....
Vegan love.
This vegan guy he is gentle,
As he likes to eat the puy lentil,
He protects living things,
Whether they have feet,fins or wings,
The only problem Hes may have from the start,
Is that being a vegan he'll fart.
By Herakles.

Ha ha ha...of course I will not be revealing if this is true or not.
Vegan or not, i don't know of any bloke, or blokess for that matter, who hasn't the ability to make bubbles in the bathHa ha ha...of course I will not be revealing if this is true or not.
You can compromise on many things for love. But you have to draw the line at cheese! :-)I did like baked potato and cheese
