We're starting off with the naughtiness today, which means that there's some heaviness in the second half of this posting.

Now, onto poetry learnings: the haikus included here are more tightly written in terms of significance-per-syllable, as they're primarily composed in the form of [adjective]+[noun]. However, in sacrificing articles (the, a), most prepositions (of, with), and [pronoun]+[verb] conjugations (I am, he has), their flow is changed considerably and they read more abstractly. 

What I described above applies in varying degrees to all poetry: the more precise you want to be with word choice, the more difficult it can become to apply specific techniques like alliteration, euphony, etc. Figure out what works for you! 


Sexpectations
I once met a horse on the sly /
At first he came off as quite shy /
But then he leaned near /
And spoke in my ear /
"To get kinky, I’m really your guy." /

I nodded and followed with hope /
And producing a length of good rope /
He tied me up tight /
I gave it mock fight /
For that, he gave me a grope /

Stuck and unable to leave /
I wanted to be his cock-sleeve /
but to my surprise /
he nuzzled my thighs /
and with tongue, he gave me a tease /

Now squirming and moaning aloud /
He told me to play to the crowd /
so I looked at the cam /
And screaming "Goddamn!" /
I came buckets and did the horse proud.


Homelessness is a rough time, and even more so for those who have gone through it more than once. 


This is a warning /
Please don't read below this point /
If it's not your speed.


Tourist
Tent city blew down /
Involuntary nomad /
Government typhoon.

Beggar
Rattling copper /
Still, rendered nonexistent /
Empty venom cup.

Feed
Sandwich lacking glass /
Invisible strings attached /
Hold prostitution.

Clean
Spilled tears freeze solid /
Freely given gifts move me /
Warm, dry, woolen socks.
