Break Dancing Haiku

Dancing Celestial

India (Uttar Pradesh) early 12th century

Sandstone

break dancing unknown

during creation of form

literally born

The challenge today was a Play It Again, Toads at Imaginary Garden With Real Toads.  This Haiku popped when I saw the picture from the prompt page so I'm trying to fit it into challenge three.  That's a stretch but here's my mind's path, broken dancer, break dancing, fits with music...so Challenge Three.  My twisted humor may be showing.  Thanks for the fun.

The Black-Billed Magpie

painting by Rubens Peale

 A prompt from Magpie Tales

To the bird there is only now

in the moment is how he flies

he watched from the sill

the sumptuous repast of man

the man was called away

a simple hop became

a feast for the magpie

For Imaginary Garden With Real Toads, Play It Again, Toads.  I've chosen Brudberg's Time Travel.

Leopard Frog In Seven Lines

Trying Kelly's challenge of the seven line stanza

with syllable count

at Play It Again Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads

Please keep in mind I have to practice to improve.

Thanks.

Leopard frog is amphibious 

His spots and stripes help him hide

lives outside

In spring he likes to sing

calling for his bride

his natural coloring

postpones his dying

Twitter Poem With Mama Zen

Celebrating number thirteen Play It Again with Imaginary Garden With Real Toads   I chose to repeat the challenge by Mama Zen to create some Twitter poetry limited to 140 characters total.  I didn't get the stanzas correct but I think I have it exactly by pulling my bits and pieces of thoughts on paper hoping they make sense.  This was fun!!!

Tigers wild
Tigers tame
Tigers gone
Who's to blame?

Wrapped in night
Orion flew
To rescue us
From ourselves

Awakened
Covered
With cobwebs
And regrets

Retrospect

The smoke rose lazily
Entwining with more above
Almost sensually
To lay on the ceiling

Eyes held eyes hands held butts
Smoking was romantic
Bogie, Bronson, Marvin
held lighters and romance

All gone cigarettes kill
No one says, "Play it a-
gain, Sam" anymore. Farewell
to legends

Is there a triple dactyl? Trying my hand with a different poetry style at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.
