The Sound of One Hand Blogging

Disappointment

2005-10-19T22:22:00.000-05:00

The Game 5 monster
Pujols hit wasn't enough
to win the Pennant.

semi-conscious

2005-05-05T08:42:00.000-05:00

Season-less minute
That marks the start of workdays
Slumber slides slowly

Alarm clock

2005-05-05T08:15:00.000-05:00

April 28th topic on USAToday.com's daily haiku contest:

Just as Jude Law was
leaning in for that first kiss,
what do I hear? Bzzzzzzzz.

Birthday Beth

2005-04-30T16:12:00.000-05:00

Washington house Fall
A fireplace warms the siblings
Years shelter at hearth

5 Cats: Boone

2005-01-20T10:27:00.000-06:00

Came tragically,
Left the same - little orange joy,
dog-walk companion.

It's been awhile

2005-01-19T21:55:00.000-06:00

Apparently we've
all forgotten about our
one-handed blogging.

Belize

2004-12-02T18:18:00.000-06:00

Standing there watching,
Mama you look so alone-
Lost Maya woman

Your baby so plump
And healthy and watching me,
Held by your daughter

Latinate Libation Lust

2004-11-22T15:55:00.000-06:00

Gin lime and tonic
Gluconeogenesis be damned
Veno Veritas

Ethanol

2004-11-18T19:34:00.000-06:00

Ethanol will block
gluconeogenesis
in the liver. Damn.

Post-election blues

2004-11-14T14:47:00.001-06:00

I'm a blue woman
fighting bigotry and hate,
lost in a red sea.

Autumn

2004-11-07T10:50:00.000-06:00

A chill fills the air
while leaves rustle and break free
from their branched home.

The Curse is over

2004-10-27T23:17:00.000-05:00

The best line-up in
the Majors couldn't beat the
Team of Destiny.

Congrats to the Sox
on winning their first Series
since 1918.

For my Cardinals
it's been a great season, but
there's always next year.

Recursive Cursing

2004-10-27T01:41:00.000-05:00

Red rover, red rover
Send the babe on over
Un-force-ed errors abound

World Series Woes

2004-10-26T22:43:00.000-05:00

Down three games to none.
Unless the Bambino helps
my Cards, it's over.

"That's a winner!"

2004-10-21T23:28:00.000-05:00

National League Champs!
We're on to the World Series!
Oh how sweet it is.

Guilty?!: An Analogy

2004-10-19T06:12:00.000-05:00

As if the country's
been murdered, and the trial ends
November 2.

Ghosts

2004-10-17T23:36:00.000-05:00

I see them moving
through my house like restless thoughts-
Watching me watch them.

Harvest

2004-10-17T22:31:00.000-05:00

Combines kick up dust
while zig-zagging through rows of
corn stalks and soybeans.

Cardinals Nation

2004-10-14T23:25:00.000-05:00

A sea of red fills
Busch Stadium as the Cards
go up by two games.

Flagstaff, AZ

2004-10-12T20:34:00.000-05:00

Mountains to the north,
red rock landscapes to the south,
Route 66 town.

Success

2004-10-12T01:47:00.000-05:00

The third try is a
charm, in this case, as I am
able to haiku.

Synchronicity, Live

2004-10-10T17:24:00.000-05:00

Not a Haiku, but Random Ephemera Non-sequitur....

I notice, when I teach the Jungian concept of synchronicity in my Psychology of Religion class, synchronistic things start to happen.

Minutes ago, I had an urge to check if BMG Music Club carried two '80's bands I have on vinyl and cassette, but hardly listen to because I don't have them on CD: The Police and The Cars. It did, so I added to my cart (to use free points for later) the Regatta de Blanc, Zenyatta Mendotta, and Synchronicity albums. I got reading the review for Synchronicity, which noted in particular the stand-out songs "Synchronicity I" and "Synchronicity II," all of which got synchronicity in my brain.

The result? I go on to The Cars, and am reading the review for Candy-O, when a song from that album, "It's All I Can Do," comes on the CD player from The Wedding Singer Soundtrack. I don't realize this until I am reading about "It's All I Can Do" when the title lyric comes out of the speakers.

Coincidence? Maybe....

Sukkot

2004-10-03T22:47:00.000-05:00

pumpkin soup, challah,
dinner in the sukkah, pie,
candles, kiddush, prayer

Fall

2004-10-03T22:43:00.000-05:00

caramel corn, candy
corn, kettle corn, maize, caramel
apple, apple pie

October Rain

2004-10-01T15:53:00.000-05:00

Rain all day. Relent-
less, drips from naked branches.
Erases summer.

End of September

2004-09-29T17:35:00.000-05:00

Painted pumpkins smile
porch pumpkins dressed up for Fall
before leaves have dropped

Autumn Sweet

2004-09-29T17:33:00.000-05:00

Not enough apples
for a pie; popcorn, sugar
butter, fall dessert

Biochem

2004-09-27T20:46:00.000-05:00

Pleased am I to be
here; I'd rather be doing
this than studying!

Yom Kippur Blues

2004-09-26T09:17:00.000-05:00

After five hours of
Atonement, you really need
some Chicago blues!

Juxtaposition

2004-09-24T11:27:00.000-05:00

Our frisbee flies while
fatigue-clad cadets run drills
under a rainbow.

Invite

2004-09-22T23:18:00.000-05:00

Plentiful haiku.
The more, the merrier, no?
Who else wants to join?

September

2004-09-22T18:33:00.000-05:00

Salt- stained fingers draw
lines between breasts, slick with sweat
those hot summer nights.

Jefferson Street

2004-09-22T14:23:00.000-05:00

Sunlit bursts between
leaves. Still green, but afternoon
rays hint: red, orange.

~Jen~

Hello, Jen!

2004-09-20T23:23:00.000-05:00

One Hand Blogging now
has two hands -- that means fourteen
syllables for us!

Jen Was Here

2004-09-20T09:02:00.000-05:00

I added comments
now here's a verse for you
Halo Scan in blue

Saturday/Shabbat

2004-09-19T20:50:00.000-05:00

First, soccer. Then yard.
Pizza. Paper. Bikes. Ice cream.
Picnic? Nope, plate's full!

5 Cats: Sprite

2004-09-18T12:40:00.000-05:00

You explode at me
out of the sink -- and ask to
drink your waterbed.

Too Early

2004-09-17T10:42:00.000-05:00

I am cheated out
of sleep; will the diamond sky
compensate for it?
