Valentine's inspired (mind you I bought my own chocolate)

Chocolate. A Haiku

Choc-o-late is bliss

that melts sweet on my tongue

pure. simple. pleasure

Weeping eyes. Forc'd smile.

An Ode to my Socks

I have a conundrum today, and all days like today.

You see today is the ever, the almighty, the constant -- laundry day.

And, as is the same with every week when I venture to complete,

A full day of laundry -- all folded, put away, and neat.

Something happens between points a and b,

From washer to dryer, there comes a huge issue, you see.

My socks were a pair in the basket before wash day,

But now, there sits three or more singles, wondering what may

Have become of their partners, their pairs, their friends...

Now no longer useful, they fear it's the end.

Because the only thing more sad than one lost piece of foot wear,

Is the one who remains, alone, unusable, bare.

I stand here, one sock in hand,

And I wonder, was this all planned?

Oh red sock, where is your pair?

How did he get lost between here and there?

And what with you now?

Can you stand partnering with a white, or maybe a brown?

The pile of single socks, alone, the sad sorry state;

Wondering how could I have lost their buddy, their mate!

I can see their daggers, they're so angry with me.

How could I be so careless and sloppy?

But I implore with these singles, I beg and I plea

That they understand this conspiracy has nothing to do with me.

It's those machines, the washer, the dryer who play --

They steal your partners, and leave me and you in dismay.

So singles, I know it's true it is you who is most at a loss.

But my pocket book is losing too, because of the cost.

I am mad at those machines, and I conspire to win this fight --

To one day be victorious and have full pairs at the end of the night.

And to save your sadness, your anger, your remorse,

I hope to win and prevent your recourse.

Oh singles I am sad I am mad I am in de - spair!

Since I've ever done laundry they've mocked and stolen one of each pair --

I don't know exactly how it happens. But I know this for sure

between washer and dryer your other lies waiting -- somewhere.
