That’s What Dorothy Said by Dennis Allen Lange

I just made a trip to Virginny,
And saw all the sights – there were many.
…Now after the roam
…I’m headed for home.
There’s no better sight – No, not any!

Three Miscellaneous Haiku by Dennis Lange

Corner Of Meadow And Lea

Yellow cabs?
Two planes taxiing –
Yellow tails.

——————–

 

Sleek

Light and dark.
The vervet monkeys
Are velvet.

——————–

 

Rest And The Blues Go Away

Vacation
In the warm tropics –
In the pink.

——————–

* The haiku I write are lines of 3-5-3 syllables instead of 5-7-5.

The Nap by Dennis Lange

 

……………The Nap

A touring bus takes many stops,
…And all is tightly planned –
A ballet dance with leaps and hops
…In tune with time’s quick sand.

Among the first heard from the guide
…Are words that set the stage
About the dance that is the ride,
…“Stay on the same time page.”

“If minutes for a photo op
…Are only scheduled ten,
Then there’s no time to stop and shop;
…We must be off again.”

“The same is true if hours are two;
…You might be left behind
(If you’re a snail distractions woo),
…Lest we be in a bind.”

It’s even worse when there’s no bus.
…Guide naps; time does not keep.
Oh, well, we fail, yes each of us –
…‘Tis God who does not sleep.

—————————————–

On a tour I took in 2014, the bus driver
gave us the usual warnings about being
on time.  In the afternoon, he took off
in the bus and took a nap and was late
picking us up!
