Haiku/Senryu / First Entries

...your first instinct was right… it’s about a tootsie pop!  >; )

...not for those who long for dissemination, to get back to the warm embrace of oblivion.

you decide!

the title comes out of the fact that this was the first entry on an online journal i kept years ago… the poem was actually written about the act of delving into another person’s secret thoughts as we are apt to do here on the internet with wild abandon.  but i like the poem’s versatility. that it can apply to many different things.

There is a heady seduction that comes
from finding the heart of someone else…
thinking you know them or have access to them – -
to their secret selves/thoughts and innermost being,
through some spirit/mind connection that
expresses from the pads of your fingertips
both outwardly and inwardly…
this heady seduction you cultivate in the ethers -
which themselves, must be lending powerful
hypnotic aphrodisiac inducements.
Such sweetness.
