Finally an Arab contribution to civilization


Camel's milk could become the latest super food to hit the shelves of health food shops and upmarket retailers

more Haiku

future in the past,
laughter wafts slowly
Cigarette burns

drifting lawns
rustbelt groans,
Cuyahoga burns

when i think of you
the roses bloom,and take me
to a love so true

Haiku Contest


Haiku (俳句) is a mode of Japanese poetry. A traditional haiku consists of a pattern of approximately 5, 7, and 5 syllables, phonetic units.
examples:

1. Behold the ego
Set in glowing emptiness
On the edge of time

2.Silence--a strangled
Telephone has forgotten
That it should ring

3.Night; and once again,
the while I wait for you, cold wind
turns into rain

4.In my old home
which I forsook, the cherries
are in bloom

feel free to post your haiku...

On smoking


every puff burns some of me away...
haze in my eyes blurs the world
chemicals blunt the mind
stop. reality crashes in.brain screams for dopamine
smoke again, and again...

"Again we are defeated"


from the "7 Samurai"

some shock and awe, in my fleeting existence...

staring at the sun


bad things happen when we do things we shouldn't do...
