A Supernatural haiku

Don’t tear at my hair

Don’t bite at my collarbone

We’ve got slash to do.

Based on the notorious tropes from Supernatural fanfics, one of which was later incorporated into canon ("And then Sam caressed Dean's clavicle", episode 5.01. "Sympathy for the Devil").  

I loosely translated it into Russian, without the 5-7-5-syllables haiku rhythm.  

Перевела стишок на русский, правда, вольно и без соблюдения хайку-ритма на 5-7-5 слогов: 

Не кусай мою ключицу.
Волосы не дёргай мне:
Этим делом нам в фанфикшн
Заниматься много лет.

Кому как, а мне кажется, что связь с крылатой "сверхъестественной" фразой "We've got work to do" здесь прослеживается. Кроме того, у словосочетания "это дело" коннотации слегка неприличные, что тоже не повредит.

или так:

- Ключицу не кусай!
- За волосы не хватай!
Ещё в фанфиках нам играть.

А что? Фанфики, при желании, можно рассматривать как сценарии. Тем более что "я с вашими персонажами просто играю" -- это стандартный фанфикерский дисклеймер. 

A Spring Haiku

Little flies in March
Lying dead on windowsill
Spring was just a tease.

A haiku written in early April this year. Based on a true fact. Not "Fly On The Windscreen", sure, but definitely inspired by the song.

Writing Slash Fiction

Fists sliding
Mouths gliding
Legs entwining
Bodies aligning
Cocks twitching
Breaths hitching
Boys wriggling
Girls scribbling

This dirty little poem is completley fic of a fic-ish, 'cos it's been made of slash fiction cliches.

Comparative cover art (Erasure/Joy Electric)

Erasure and Joy Electric have made their names with sparkling synthesized pop songs that could soundtrack fairy tales. 

It seems to me the two bands even hired the same artist to create their respective album covers.

Suitably, both albums feature lush, baroque electronic pop (the Joy Electric record’s lyrics are even based on Medieval themes). 

Erasure "I Say I Say I Say" (1994)                             Joy Electric "We Are The Music Makers" (1996)                                              

                     

Cover art with letter hieroglyphication has been done in synth pop as early as 1986, witness the sleeve for OMD’s “The Pacific Age”. 

 

Funnily, the double triangle “M” looks like a precursor of Anton Corbijn’s artwork for Depeche Mode’s 2013 “Delta Machine” (their “M” was, of course, drawn in black).
