Inspired by Prince Myshkin's brilliant eight-word poem....
Birds in adjacent cages
pondering
each other's dreams
....shall we see what else we can come up with?
I'll start....
two broken cuckoo clocks
measuring out
irregular time
Who's next?
(I've been away for awhile.... I hope this hasn't already been done.)

In the corner
dark meets light
in violence

We murmur lies,
wawl out reasons,
sing blues.

I'm in love with The Vinegar Man and Mr. Tanner, but be careful, it could just as easily be you.

Ever the rebel. I shoulda known. Go to your room, Prince, and don't come out until you have an EIGHT word poem.
Everybody else.... Thanks for your EIGHT word contributions. Keep 'em comin'!!!

six.

more witty poems.
Good to have you back, Cdn.
Hi, Jerry.
O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.
Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797 - 1843) (see avatar) Der Knabe im Moor/The Lad in the Moor
I've sunk into
the shadows.
What is light?
"I’ve tasted all the sweetest creams
and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
sunny skies pervade my dreams
and light the dark of earthly scenes..."
Take one leaf,
and now,
add a tree.

Sneezing my head off.
Oops,
there it goes.

and danced with daisies in dazed delight;
sunny skies pervade my dreams
and light the dark of earthly scenes..."
