Paper tablecloths,
poinsettias make an arrow
and point to the punch.

    at times, i prefer the commentary, rather than the (haiku).

    hmmm, (humorous): exciting laughter; comical; funny;;; jocular; witty; amusing

    strange, the word (femur) came to mind; another interesting topic for discussion


    john or zhanna, might either of you, provide some insight, for me.


    i found john's piece on the (hail, pachinko, and magnolias) rather delightful; a date(colloq.) is coming for it, as well...

    confusing scents~
    perfumes from paris fuse
    with mughali cuisine

    party accident~
    malai koftha on
    benaras silk

    the feast over
    flies take over
    the residual worlds

    neon lights~
    farewells~a bird song
    in the astral cover

    photostating my palm
    to send to india
