The evening chill
Causes me to fold my fan
Longing for spring birds.

The children's laughter
Startled the birds into flight -
They now block my path.

The birds' scattered flight
Causes us both confusion;
And we fall behind.

There's lots of this kind of stuff on here, huh?

Birds... [thoughtful pentaps] Oh, I know!

There's this guy I know
He can fly just like birds do
It's kind of freaky

Yes, it certainly seems that way. Poetry is a good outlet for one's emotions.

A man I once knew
He trapped birds using honey
And women with song.

Poetry? You mean that's what this i-- I thought that stuff had to rhyme?

I wouldn't do that
Because they'd both screech at you
I can't sing either

Only in Western poetry. This is from the East.

Then perhaps for you
A better weapon than song
Would be your humor.

Huh. I'm... from the south but I guess we were pretty east when I learned it. The five seven five stuff, right? You're not one of the girls from then... are you? Man, if I mess up again...


One talent as the
"Meat and Sarcasm Guy" is
Making people laugh!

Hm? Oh, no, I'm not one of the girls from then♥

Laughter is a gift
Overlooked by the foolish
Cherished by the wise

Good, I don't want to get kicked off the bulletin if I make a mistake...

So if my friends laugh
Are they wise or foolish when
Making fun of me?

[OP anon]

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Well, you might get kicked off anyway. The nurses can be so rude sometimes.

Perhaps the fool is
One who believes themselves wise
Amid the laughter.
