Poem Number 5118

sitting on the fence
brings a familiar feeling --
a pain in the butt

I like that humor!...WR

Thanks! Have we met here before? --eritain

I think so. I have had a number of Haikus on here. Sometimes I post as WR and sometimes as BR. I love Haikus, don't you? ...WR
-------
I do. Of all the arts in this world ... well, I might never live in a house with a Picasso or an Ansel Adams. I have Bach and Bill Evans only so long as I have electricity, for I have neither the training nor the long fingers to play them myself. I will probably never be able to regularly attend world-class dance performances. But every place I even visit is decorated with an Emily Dickinson or a Wilfred Owen, a Shakespeare or an Auden, an Isaac Watts or a William Carlos Williams or one of the many fine, quiet, eminently memorizable ku I've read here. Strip me naked and maroon me on a tiny Pacific atoll, I still have a collection of world-class art. We lovers of words are the luckiest.
If I may ask, why the double nicknames? --eritain
-------
I don't know when you posted the above, ertain, I don't come on here too often. The double nicknames...I started posting as BR for my name Bill Roberts. Then, someone else started posting using the same initials and posting things I didn't want to be credited with. So, I changed over to WR. Now, few people are posting on this site, so, I think I'll go back to BR.
