The Magical Fruit

*NOTE: sung roughly in the tune of the children's chant, "Beans, beans, the musical fruit"

Words, Words, the magical fruit

The more you imbibe, the more you can describe

The more you spill, the better you feel

So we have words in every spiel!

Words, Words, the magical loot

The more acquired, the more ideas squired

The more we squeal, the better we feel

So let's have words with every deal!

Words, words the miracle fruit
The more you repeat, the more you beat
The more you bear, the better you wear
So leave good words with every share!

Words, Words, the musical fruit

The more we churn, the more we learn

The more we learn, the better we earn

So let's burn more air on words together

before we ash our final urns!

Haiku Influenza

Warning: Poetic devices are often contagious,
even to seasonally pleading vegetation.

Spring blossoms light for
Hope flutters like a wet moth --
Eventually.

Golden Summer brings
On bright heat and strawberry skin --
Thoughts are lethargic.

Thunder raises up
Hazy Autumn intentions --
Evolving conscious.

Fresh snow marks Winter
Leaving narcissus fever --
Under the weather.

Haiku's generally contain three elements:

• 17 syllables in 5, 7, 5 line form
• a seasonal reference
• juxtaposition of two images or ideas

An acrostic is a poem where the first letter of each line spells out a word or message. On the other hand, the alliteration, assonance, imagery, metaphors, onomatopoeia, and personification contained in this work are mostly gratuitous -- unless you like that sort of thing, in which case, I sincerely mean it.
