This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

Love sharing haiku
With friends across the globe, but…
Just don’t laugh on bus!
(True haiku…)

Never fear laughter,
Regardless of location,
Always zip fly up.

Fool’s harp, jester’s pipe
Dance on a shifting carpet
Sing out loud and clear

The fool doesn’t usually know but does he really know and the piper wants to lead you astray and away. So beware the tricks of the fool and the piper or you may just disappear.
Great piece of writing in your Haiku. You always create the flavor of uniqueness in your words. Always impressive. jk

Thanks jk. I tried a more enigmatic style in this one, so it’s really interesting to see people’s interpretations 🙂

Great haiku Al bringing back memories of Rupert Murdoch, his editors and the phone hacking scandals. How many of those criminals made it to to Gaol?

Not many… in this country, there seems to be an attitude that all celebrities are fair game, all of the time, and are not entitled to any semblance of a personal life.
