Haikus written by us on the first adventure:
Haikus….TEMA Style
RAIN
Raindrops fall from high
Shattering stillness dust flies
Poof praf piff dust flies Ryan
The sky is spitting
I have rain on my forehead
It feels satisfying Morgan
Cleansing the heaviness
Sweeping away for something new
Open your mouth and drink Katie
Comes without warning
Speaks through the sound of contact
Leaves trace of rich life David
Raindrop splish splash
Raining down upon my lash
Getting wet I’m drenched but my thirst quenched Shelly
One sunny morning
The clouds rush in unannounced
Soaking my sweatshirt Tony
Feel the splash
I’ve been waiting for this
Fuck have to take down the tent Blitz
Rain flows like my brain flows
Brainpower blows
Like thunder rain flow Ulises
Inspired by the music of Ken Burns’ Jazz, Charlie Parker
Coffee cake, pancakes
Orange Juice and bacon too
Yummy breakfast ooooooo! Ryan
Underground jazz den
Smoke smiles through the darkness
Is that Louis Armstrong? Morgan
Caressing my ears
Vibrations step lightly
My soul drink s Katie
Peaceful precipice
Oxy of morons resist
Surrender, soak bliss David
Jazz licks taste so sweet
Heavy on my tongue this piano
Sax kisses lips good night Alison
Back in the forties
Moonshine in a Speakeasy
Swaying to jazz masters Tony
The land of Oaxaca
Dig the ground and horse shit
Hell yeah I’m in trance Blitz
Sexy jazz makes me dance
With my chance
To be in love one more dance Ulises
2009
Oh we start again
2009 oh my yes
Oh we start again Ryan
The dawn of a new year
I got TEMA on my mind
Will we meet again? Morgan
A new year is born
Throw away old tops worn
Its time for a change, remove the negative thorn Shelly
Awakening again
In front of me an open vessel
Open wings and soar Katie
My world begins fresh
With clear skies, life is freedom
Count ways you are blessed David
Travel many roads
Pad Thai, Angkor at, Palenque
You have made me whole Alison
First month of the New Year
A blank sheet lies before us
Oh to paint it red Tony
Feel and sense the changes
The clouds pass over my body
Take my soul with you Blitz
The time has come
For you to become
The child of who succumbed Ulises
BUTTER CREAM DROP
Smooth caramel cream
Heavenly sweet golden dream
One delightful treat Ryan
I don’t like butter
But cream tickles my tongue
Drop the butter please Morgan
Butter cream drop
What is a butter cream drop?
I’m not really sure Shelly
Smooth succulent slippery
Slyly slithering soaking sumptuously
Buttery round ass Katie
Let it hit my face
The taste, I anticipate
Take me far away David
Butter cream drip drop
You take me to your candy shop
Ryan’s mind is on mushrooms Alison
Morgan hates butter
Ryan creates butter songs
I prefer tacos Tony
The tongues of cat feel good
I want to be this moment more
Might put butter on me Blitz
Butter cream drop
Like honey down your pouch
Makes me want to sprout Ulises
SAM
A pirate at heart
Furry caterpillar shaved
There’s his upper lip Ryan
Big Sam smiles at me
A mess of curly black hair
Tope, too late, we’ve hit! Morgan
Maybe one day
Transported back to a land before time
We’ll create dinosaur fetuses Katie
I don’t like green eggs
But Sam shall take them any day
Miss that giant beast David
The name of my first love
Solid name for a solid man
Blue Dino will be missed Alison
Tall, dark and mustached
Bike riding big Blue Dino
Laughter will be missed Tony
Sam, my hero, Sam
Dino of the group, Mom of Shelly
Also mushroom head Blitz
Sam, you Dino man
Tall, strong and young
Untamable to be owned Ulises
TEMA
Crazy adventure
Craziest adventure yet
Something else is driving
What the hell is this
What a love fest space ship trip
Does anyone know?
Oh I love my life
This reality is rich
What a treat!
Space for all of us
Let it all hang out for real
Transformation! Yip!
E, e, e, e, e!
Oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo!
Waaaaa! This is so cool!
We are growing tight
The group gets smaller, more love
Exponential joy Ryan
A bus, some cash and Ryan
With a crew of reprobates
It works, so where next? Morgan
Sometimes I look around
And remember again that this bus is our home
My head cocks back with joyful laughter
Veils lifted
We speak with pure love and joy
I see all of you and am in love Katie
Lets communicate
Move to liberate
Hold on, we still on the move
The community
Like a roller coaster rolls
We live the guest house David
The Extra Mile Adventure
Extraordinary miles have been shared
When will we meet again?
Topes, tacos, tequila
Tortugas, Trabjar, Tablas
This trip is called TEMA Alison
Here I sit content
With eight new family members
As our time ticks away Tony
Two-month trip in three weeks?
Silly Katie, I can’t do it
Anyways send me the web Blitz
The extra mile adventure
How far you have ventured
So far that it turned into the Extra Smile adventure Ulises
TEMA opens new doors
Not ready for it to end
I hope there will be more
TEMA will move along
The stories and the songs
It feels so right, it can’t be wrong Shelly
