The day has gone by

At a desk lit by the moon

Dust flows from a pen

You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you may just find you get what you need

If you are moondust

and many like holding you

I hope you're not wed.

 

 

Do you keep lovely

moon dust penned up? Wedlock is

such a crazy word.

This body of mine

will turn to dust but not end:

I will dance in air

Happiness isn't getting what you want, it's wanting what you've got.

"Wedlock' may sound odd

but 'kumquat' sounds much odder.

Still, we all try it.

I said 'Come squat here,

and listen to my Haiku"

She said "What, no chairs? "

“Beam me up, Scotty”

said I, longing for the moon

and traces from stars.

You need furniture

to lure the opposite sex.

"Squat" ain't romantic.

If you want to reach

all the way up to the moon

turn off your TV.

Opinions differ

on the need of furniture

sometimes rugs will do.

Without TV just

three would have reached the moon in

1969.

 

 

 

Edited to add alternative version:

 

Without TV three

alone would have reached the moon in

1969

than to launder rugs.:P

that in 1969

no one went up there.

Rag rugs made from old

bed sheets put sweet memories

under our feet, love.

Who's worse, I'm not sure.

Religions make up plenty.

Their lies should be crimes.

Painful, to loose this

great dream to reality.

A man on the moon.

To walk on the moon!

Returning from moon,

only dust on my boots, though

I wanted green cheese!

I looked for the man,

and a cow, dish and spoon. Oh,

where did childhood go?

The Easter Bunny

and Santa Claus were phonies.

More childhood dreams dashed.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
