Wooden Shoes – haiku by Dennis Lange

Wooden Shoes

Big help for
Pedestrian feet –
Now beauties!

— 

With these shoes,
Who would ever want
Glass slippers?

— 

Wooden shoes?
Has anyone worn
Wooden socks?

Three Hands And Feet Haiku by Dennis Lange

 

Paying For The Ladyfingers

Foot the bill?
No, I’ll pay for it.
Toe’d you so.

——————–

 

 

Good Looking

Is twelve hands
Or just eleven
The hand sum?

——————–

 

 

 

You’ll Have To Leave

Sorry, but
We’re segregated –
No blue nails.

Cold Hurts by Dennis Lange

(Photo credit: SheenaPhotography)

            Cold Hurts

I fin’lly found the reason why
It is not heat or wet or dry,
Or windy weather that I hate –
It’s cold that I’d eliminate.

It bothers me like needle pricks,
Like being beaten by some sticks;
It shivers me like spirits, spooks,
In icy rivers, frozen nukes.

Old Winter meets me face to face
With his cold breath, without a grace.
He grabs my ears with frigid hand,
And holds them till I cannot stand.

He numbs my nose; he frosts my feet;
He makes my toes mere slabs of meat;
He fills my hands with aches and pains,
And when he’s bad, befuddles brains.

Cold is a blight to man and beast,
To those who starve, to those who feast.
It is not bias that averts –
The reason why is that cold hurts.
