Aportnoy is on Hiatus?

[acidboy]

Maybe he was hired by Kenneth Cole to head his shoe operation

Yeah, yeah, pretty bad I know! But I don't claim to be particularly literate.

Gentlemen, please do a better job than I

OK, here's another try;

EG's,JL's look
Darker, Browner, beautiful
On aportnoys foot


Classic

Structure, with an allusion the to the subject(aportnoy and shoes), and to the season, Winter!

I know it;s still pretty bad, but tomorrow I'll try a 3rd attempt. Let's see some good ones!

 

[Teacher]

Knock on winter door....
Insane Australian bursts in!
Tied up, shoes all gone!

 

[sho'nuff]

Look at us , Aport.
We honor you with Haikus.
Please present yourself.

 

[Tibo]

No reason to go,
Shoes to be regretted:
Andrew you should post again !

Are you comparing Mr.Portnoy to Mr.Versace?

Either way, I was in the Communist China where I took a photo of the Silvano Lattanzi store in Shanghai.

(like in Trading Places) shorted the futures market for shoes.

I'll tell you what he's going to do with them. I'll tell you. What he's going to do with them. He's going to recycle them. He's going to reconstitute them. He's going to turn them into bi-cast leather and re-upholster zipj's Ferrari.

Or maybe by CH to head their M&A for EG/JL . . . he would afterall be an insider . . . .

Don't know if this meets haiku standards but here goes:

Shoes up the wazoo
with gold-plated shoehorns
Imelda on speed dial
What a beveled waste.

 

[whnay.]

bravo teacher, you've got me rolling over here.

John Lobb a cousin
Edward Green distant uncle
Heir to the shoe throne

 

[whnay.]

Winter in New York
Rubber soles stuck in the snow
Must not move until Spring
