MY TWENTY-SEVEN HAIKU FOR THE ANAVERSE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT
BLINK 1
geen sleep occluded
side ways dream the caption reads
how so the waking?
BLINK 2
some shadowed figure
translucent wings not hiding
technology's force
BLINK 3
chalice of ANA
outlining negative space
with unopened eye
BLINK 4
this flesh-tone floating
within a void of doubt
what arousal's here?
BLINK 5
lying assertion
disrupts the linear world:
this five is not four!
BLINK 6
mirrored, inverted
what universe she visits
in this dusky dream?
BLINK 7
sea creature or pod
or nightmarish denizen
from special effects?
BLINK 8
"We come from the land
of the ice and snow ... midnight sun
where the hot springs flow"
BLINK 9
iconic yellow
vision of wings made metal
frozen into gold
BLINK 10
in bleached bone action
as scientist or priestess
reaching for unknowns
BLINK 11
beyond the footlights
braids like seaweed, arising
Ophelia's ghost
BLINK 12
this highway stretches
off to the far horizons...
just watch for the drain!
BLINK 13
kinetic vista
through this keyhole now spying
what that curve, that angle?
BLINK 14
Oh, naughty, naughty...
she's discovered us looking!
I think we'll be spanked!
BLINK 15
"On your marks, get set ..."
we await the results of
the two meter dash
BLINK 16
girl at the table
returning lingering looks...
could there be a chance?
BLINK 17
Pooka and Deiter
standing ready on the set
ANA calls "ACTION!"
BLINK 18
behold the spirit
arise from the faerie's sleep
to dance in the night
BLINK 19
BA-BA-LUUUU! showtime
those disembodied egg drums
keep the freaky beat
BLINK 20
porcelain goddess
object of a distant lust
many hands would feel
BLINK 21
the passion erupts
neglecting the camera
so often turned off
BLINK 22
alien hitman
stares out of the screen, I flinch
what have I done NOW?
BLINK 23
down the rabbit-hole
or worm-holes to other planes ...
who wants tomato?
BLINK 24
received transmission
the Bear World delegation
awaits your answer
BLINK 25
no more boring meals ...
make your own pasta at home
with Spaghetti-Head!
BLINK 26
by the time the cops
got to the crime scene, Ken had
made his getaway
BLINK 27
manifesting joy
in doggie wiggles, runs and jumps
frenetic, careless
