TONMO's one-and-only (as far as I know) card-carrying Esperanto Nerd

while you get points for using a fictional language, i didnt know they issued cards, i thought just green dots....


the flood was not cool
a bit unnecessary
one post would suffice

no worries my dear
you know, no blood - no foul, but
not a bad idea....

 

[WhiteKiboko]

not one new haiku?
i guess ill have to blame that
slimy chilean

 

[nanoteuthis]

I'll read that story
while watching HONEYMOONERS:
"Chile con Carney"

:P

 

[Clem]

not one new haiku?
i guess ill have to blame that
slimy chilean

Why blame Pinochet
Though horrible he is dry
And fond of poems

Wrapped in blubber
Armed with a paddle Saddam
Reaches Chile's shore

Beloved Humpback
Swam shiva for you and now
They think you a squid

 

[WhiteKiboko]

i see clem now signs
his informative artworks
theyre guggenheim bound

am i the only
member who never goes stealth?
or just not pop'lar?

Puerto Escondido, Oax
Not a paradise
Close, but no cephs to be found

 

[WhiteKiboko]

Such a suave photo
Makes the rest of us look bad
clem does.....and how

still, a great welcome
to this sapien with a
cephalopod soul

 

[Clem]

Photos most un-suave
Most blackmail worthy exist
Ben Franklin says, "Grin."

 

[nanoteuthis]

I have no idea
of which photos you all speak --
I see none attached

nor is Oaxaca
anywhere represented
on this cryptic thread.

Which of Clem's artworks --
signed or unsigned, I know not --
do you refer to?

"I am but an egg,"
somehow still out of the loop.
Please explain, someone?

 

[WhiteKiboko]

i am not in proper set of mind to put this in haiku... the first clem pictures metnioned were i believe, in the globster/sighting thread.... as for clem looking so suave, take a gander at the meet the staff page.....

 

[nanoteuthis]

while you get points for using a fictional language, i didnt know they issued cards, i thought just green dots....

Indeed, Kiboko,
we can be found everywhere,
though you don't know it

Beneath the Green Star
(not dots, as you conjecture)
we rally bravely

speaking our language --
two million speakers worldwide,
though scattered afar

I carry three cards
one for the group in Noo Yawk
one for the US

and one for the world.
We're here, we're green, deal with it --
you ask us, we'll tell:

Esperantistoj,
fieraj kaj kuragxaj --
ni estas cxie!

PS: Seriously.... if anyone here (US or Canada) wants a complimentary copy of Lesson One of ELNA's Free Ten-Lesson Postal Course (snailmail), please PM me -- no obligation, and lots of fun if you decide to take it. Outside US or Canada, PM me for the address to write to for more info.

[WK, this is my last shameless unsolicited Esperanto plug, I promise! ]

 

[WhiteKiboko]

shameless plugs end here,
but how many plugs remain
with a tinge of shame?

i really care not,
if it keeps tani happy...
just dont be blatant

but i do suggest
the den of the octopus
would be much better

 

[WhiteKiboko]

offering respite,
the land of the tentacles
shoo reality

an octo massuse
could sure be handy now....
suction cup magic

MIMIC OCTOPUS

Beauty has eight arms
she pinwheels in zebra stripes
then, teasing, swims off
