Love cookies. I think they're therapeutic as well. Until I can't stop eating them. Then they just make me feel bad about myself. :-) Nice job.

    I hear you. I went on a liquid diet for two days and lost two pounds.

Green with envy that made your heart heated, perhaps? The second line was so good after your "warm sugar cookies" beginning, setting the tone. excellent

This poem shows originality. so few words but says a lot in meaning. At first I wondered at the "cool green" and "heated heart" - green is a cool color - but green can be seen in flame from time to time depending upon what's burning - so run together I guess the words work. At least the last line adds enough mystery to make the reader wonder.

    I meant cool in contrast to warm -So it's a verb here. The green is for jealousy. Thanks for the kind words, Elly.

Hi, Shari. Another great Haiku, I see. You are fast becoming one of the premier poets on this site. I'm sure you know that. Bravo! Bob

    Thanks Bob, I'd like to get in the top 100, but it's slow going. Doing better with prose and plays. Have posted the next scene in Hand Grenades if you started that.

Love the title, Spitfire. Tells the whole story right there! The cookies well they could represent a coupla different things here, at least to me. But the black angry tongue and the green heated heart...no mistaking those.
Nice nice poem. A zoloft for your thoughts...

Nothing like some good warm cookies to make us feel better. I liked this Haiku and the picture was great with it. Thanks again for sharing your time and talents. Sincerely Poet Star

Is that jealousy sparking your wrath? Sweeten it up with a cookie or two and take a moment to think before you act. I think I get it. Good one.

Wow a sensual Haiku Shari. You have spoken volumes here with this beautiful verse. You have magically touched all five senses here. A sign of a seasoned writer. I could come up with a very naughty haiku response,but it is 4am and I need some sleep. Grand write. I am going to read this over more times to figure out the mathematical equation for it. Great Job!!!

    Let me know. Your math equation theory intrigues me. I was an A student in Trigonometry and Geometry, but not so good in Algebra.
    Who cared if X ran faster than Y?

    As far as the erotic poetry. The angle of the dangle is equal to the heat of the meat.HAHAHAHAHA
reply by God's Writer on 29-Oct-2011
    Once I get it completely figured I will share it with you, but haven't got it all worked out yet. It is geometrical. Based on the amount of hard pieces of evidence verses the number of substaining facts. The reat is varibles that are controlable sometimes, and should be controlable consistently. That is the part I haven't quite worked out yet. So it is back to your basic Algebrasince they all build on one another. X may or may not run faster than y depending on z.
reply by God's Writer on 29-Oct-2011
    This Haiku is y is twice the value of x based on the total z.

    See? You're talking algebra-- the math I almost failed!

    Umm, let's stick with raw elements. --wink--
reply by God's Writer on 29-Oct-2011
    I was being very raw. I love to fill your mind with pleasent scenes of peace and tranquility. Oh by the way I still have a temper but I am over being mad by the time I am done spouting. Can't keep it cooped up inside. I would blow up and that would be a messy stinky mess or someone to clean up. I found a list of transition words and phrases on the web. Now if I could just remember where you said I needed to use them. Another hint about who I am. I used to have a photographic memory, but in 1986 I was hit by a baseball bat in the head and that and a lot of other mental things flew out the window. And it was just over a pizza. However the two blacks that tried to rob me got the worst of it and also got very lenghty prison sentences for it also. The accomplis just came up for his first parole hearing this last summer and I was there to explain to the judge how he and his bitch of a man friend( I would have given them the damn pizza if they would have asked for it)but I guess they didn't have the balls. So they tried to rob me of the pizza and my money which they got neither. I will write the insident for you later. It is too bad you do not have yahoo then we could Instant massage and talk more responsively. And not have to worry about trails either.
    Shalom my dear,
    The Prince of Love
    P.S. I am going to work on getting a picture of me on here for you to see tomorrow. I hope I don't scare you too much. What I don't have in looks I make up for in kindness, loving, understanding ect..
reply by the author on 30-Oct-2011
    What a terrible story. And probably nobody to sue! I think I have yahoo, but never heard of instant message. As for your pics, I know it's what inside that counts. I take awful pictures. Just got lucky and didn't blink with the one posted which is a couple year old.

Today, I was swarmed with low planes...and so upset I was half sick. I ate four Rice Krispee treats, and have drank at least SEVEN diet Pepsi's. It's a good thing I'm not an alcoholic or something. I would be done for. This is great Shari...'black anger on my tongue'...yes...black hate is in my heart and my eyes are red. Good work! Haiku is hard. ")) xoxo, susan
