Choose inspiration.
It wakes you up from despair.
Move forward and live...

Hurt and wondering? 
That’s why they call it the Blues.

Haiku is useless.
Nobody can make their point
in so damn few words. |

So what is your point?
Hey, the less said the better.
Try it, you'll like it...
Don't give up so quick.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Do I make my point?

Would you like to help?....

Boy, you folks are good!
I wish I could do that too.
Maybe I will learn.
Here's not a real hai-
ku, even with the right num-
ber of syllables.

Nice compliment Tom.
Still think Haiku is useless?
Just give it a chance...
You will be surprised,

even for crazy!  |

Or, would it be more correct
To say, a "Po-em"? |

Jewish Haiku
After the warm rain
the sweet smell of camellias.
Did you wipe your feet?
*****
Her lips near my ear,
Aunt Sadie whispers the name
of her friend's disease.
*****
Today I am a man.
Tomorrow I will return
to the seventh grade.
*****
Testing the warm milk
on her wrist, she sighs softly.
But her son is forty.
*****
The sparkling blue sea
reminds me to wait an hour
after my sandwich.
*****
Lacking fins or tail
the gefilte fish swims with
great difficulty.
*****
Like a bonsai tree,
your terrible posture
at my dinner table.
*****
Beyond Valium,
the peace of knowing one's child
is an internist.
*****
Jews on safari --
map, compass, elephant gun,
hard sucking candies.
*****
The same kimono
the top geishas are wearing:
I got it at Loehmann's.
*****
The shivah visit:
so sorry about your loss.
Now back to my problems.
*****
Mom, please! There is no
need to put that dinner roll
in your pocketbook.
*****
Seven-foot Jews in
the NBA slam-dunking!
My alarm clock rings.
*****
Sorry I'm not home
to take your call. At the tone
please state your bad news.
*****
Is one Nobel Prize
so much to ask from a child
after all I've done?
*****
Today, mild shvitzing.
Tomorrow, so hot you'll plotz.
Five-day forecast: feh
*****
Passover
Left the door open
for the Prophet Elijah.
Now our cat is gone.
*****
Yenta. Shmeer. Gevalt.
Shlemiel. Shlimazl. Meshuganah
Oy! To be fluent!
*****
Quietly murmured
at Saturday services,
Yanks 5, Red Sox 3.
*****
A lovely nose ring,
excuse me while I put my
head in the oven.
****
Hard to tell under the lights.
White Yarmulke or
male-pattern baldness.
