Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

[Weeping Willow]

A wonderful life
With a drink in my right hand
Laying on the beach

[Riesa]

thanks! I love the Pink Panther. Did you know there is a new one coming out starring Steve Martin as Clouseau? I just saw the trailer last night.

Laying on the beach,
Body conforming to sand,
Salt-Skin slightly pink.

[Weeping Willow]

You had to use the pink again did you.. :lol:....

Salt-Skin slightly pink
But mine is rather brownish
¡Como el coco!

[Riesa]

Well, You started it with El panther rosa! :lol:

¡Como el coco!
Weeping Willow's burnished skin.
Drinks in Mexico.

[samercury]

Drinks in Mexico
Enjoying life, sip by sip
-Never want to leave

[Anon22]

Never want to leave
this horrible, awful world.
Friends and Family

[samercury]

Friends and Family
Make home a wonderful place
Where you are at peace

[Riesa]

Friends and Family
Tossing crumbs. Inner child
Rawboned and starving.

[Riesa]

Wow, two different takes on that last line!! I found Digital Crash's Haiku so sad.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Never want to leave;
Leave only because you want,
To stay far too much.

[samercury]

:nod:

Rawboned and starving
Waiting for someone to come,
Hearing the wind scream

[Riesa]

Hearing the wind scream,
Prophet divining. He comes
To stay far too much.

[dcdavi]

To stay far to much
He who trouble in this house
inherits the wind

[Avalive]

inherits the wind
Rides on wings of desire
Comes another sage

[Virgil]

Comes another sage
To point us into wisdom
Should we follow him?

[Avalive]

Should we follow him?
The quest of finding time's legs
To Mars, Pluto and the sun

[samercury]

To Mars, Pluto and the sun
Throughout the solar system
I'll be back later

[Riesa]

I'll be back later,
When passion has faded and
Youth abandons us.

[samercury]

Youth abandons us
But we become very wise
What a great bargain

[Xamonas Chegwe]

What a great bargain!
Each of us leaves thinking he's,
Ripped the other off!

[Weeping Willow]

Ripped the other off
Selling them Crap for a nickel
Here is Mi treasure!

[Riesa]

Here is Mi treasure!
Wise men and fools both seek it;
Everlasting Mi.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Everlasting Mi?
Michigan isn't that big,
Surely some mistake.

[Riesa]

Surely some mistake!
Fate's wingless captives bemoan
As life ebbs away.

[Virgil]

Youth abandons us
But we become very wise
What a great bargain
Sometimes I'd prefer to be young and stupid.

As life ebbs away
While composing poor lyrics.
The river is loud.

[Riesa]

The river is loud.
Salmon attack the current;
Dragonflies hover.

[Virgil]

Dragonflies hover
Like tiny swords floating high
Watch them dive and stick

[Riesa]

:goof:

Watch them dive and stick
To the blue concrete bottom.
OOPS! No pool water!

[Weeping Willow]

OOPS! No pool water
Forgot to open the hose
Hope you're all OK!

[Riesa]

Hope you are all ok,
Misses and Misters of Lit-Net
How you spark my day.

[samercury]

How you spark my day
And make life much brighter
Somewhere worth living

[Xamonas Chegwe]

"Somewhere worth living,
Is there such a place?", you ask;
"I wish you'd cheer up!"

[samercury]

"I wish you'd cheer up!"
The cat said with a slight smile
"Just look around you"

[Aurora Ariel]

Just look around you
The pale face stares ahead
There is a full moon.

[Riesa]

There is a full moon;
Limpid mistress, clothed in her
Misty veil; misguides.

[Weeping Willow]

Misty veil; misguides
Lost in the ways of our lord
The God all mighty

[Riesa]

The God all mighty
Has a chip on His shoulder
The size of Texas.

[dcdavi]

"just look around you"
said the ant, atop his hill
before he was squashed.

[dcdavi]

sorry about last one.. i was on the wrong page :)

The size of Texas?
For every Texan I’ve met
it’s universal

[Xamonas Chegwe]

It's universal,
It fits all sizes and shapes,
If you wiggle it!

[Weeping Willow]

sorry about last one.. i was on the wrong page :)



Hehe.. happened to me several times...!! :lol:.. no prob... :D

If you wiggle it!
It would smile and say to you
Good morning!!!!!!! Vietnam!!!!!!! ( i know it has 6 syllebels.. sorry.. )

[dcdavi]

if you wiggle it
while you dangle it; you will
catch the biggest fish

[dcdavi]

damn i did it again... your toooo fast :)

Good morning Vietnam
another days work -- well done --
good night Iraqis!

[Weeping Willow]

Sorry.. :blush:...

good night Iraqis!
Hope you all slept well tonight
Now let the sun shine!

[dcdavi]

Now let the sunshine
glisten off my size thirteens
what a great shoe-shine

[Weeping Willow]

what a great shoe-shine
Look it is there just behind
Ohhh you just missed it

[dcdavi]

Ohhh you just missed it
try basic army training
just, fire... ready... aim

[Weeping Willow]

You have 6 syllebes in the last one but what the hack.. :D

just, fire... ready... aim
Or is it Aim.. Ready.. Go!
I don't remember!

[dcdavi]

I don’t remember
a day without suffering
the Buddha recalls

[Weeping Willow]

the Buddha recalls
Rub his belly! make a wish
Hope it would fulfil

[Riesa]

Hope it would fulfill;
Magic Soup, goes on and on,
Feed's the world's Hungry.

[dcdavi]

Feed’s the world’s hungry.
Wait! Gays can’t marry! We must
fight moral war four.

[Riesa]

Fight moral war four,
Or just watch reruns of Cheers,
While drinking Bud-Light.

[dcdavi]

While drinking Bud-Light
I had a great idea, but
then I fell asleep

[Riesa]

Then I fell asleep;
The Idea turned to Nightmare,
And now I'm just scared.

[dcdavi]

And now I'm just scared.
Trembling in my own sweat,
a glass in water.

[Riesa]

cool image.

A glass in water
Nebulous as Jellyfish
Fragile, unalarmed.

[dcdavi]

Fragile, unalarmed,
attacked! the Arizona
rusts in Pearl Harbor

[dcdavi]

You have 6 syllebes in the last one but what the hack.. :D

just, fire... ready... aim
Or is it Aim.. Ready.. Go!
I don't remember!


For the life of me, I could not figure out what you were refering to.. then i realized you meant "fire" has two syllables. So i did a little google/research.

http://cspeech.ucd.ie/~fred/teaching/oldcourses/phonetics/syllables.html

Dan D.

[samercury]

:confused:

Rusts in Pearl Harbor
Memories, still whispering
If you're listening

[Riesa]

If you're listening;
You might just hear me whisper
An incantation.

[samercury]

An incantation
A chant to arise the dead
Immortality

[Riesa]

Immortality
Though we perish; we exist.
Light, rain, heat and dust.

[samercury]

Nice

Light, rain, heat and dust
Admire what's around you
It might crumple soon

[Weeping Willow]

Dan D.

Hehe.. thanks..

It might crumple soon
Ash to ashes dust to dust
Just dust in the wind

[atiguhya padma]

Just dust in the wind
That rises ever higher
Blocking out the sun

[Riesa]

Blocking out the sun;
The Path of Totality:
A Father's disdain.

[Weeping Willow]

A Father's disdain
Pressing my to learn a trade
But i'm just gazing

[nickelsilver]

But I'm just gazing.
My crystal ball grows cloudy
Future left unknown

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Future Left unknown;
The path laid down by Karl Marx,
Is long abandonned.

[nickelsilver]

Is long abandoned.
Creepy house on the corner.
Ghostbusters' mecca.

[Riesa]

Ghostbusters' mecca,
A place to untangle streams,
And imbibe spirits.

[Weeping Willow]

And imbibe spirits
My own personal Banshee
Is a keltic one

Guess who this is dedicated to.. :)...

[Riesa]

Keltic Exile??
Is a Keltic One
What you can find under a
Scotman's Kilt Plaidie?

(sorry :blush:)

[Weeping Willow]

What you can find under a
Scotman's Kilt Plaidie?
Yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sick:

Keltic Exile??

Never mind.. :eek:

Scotman's Kilt Plaidie
William wallace is the one
Fights for our FREEDOM!

[kilted exile]

Fights for our FREEDOM!
Or so they'd have you believe
they fight for themselves


off topic, but regarding "What you can find under a
Scotman's Kilt Plaidie" see here (http://thebards.net/music/lyrics/The_Scotsman.shtml)

[Weeping Willow]

They fight for themselves
Their iner selfcenterd gowl
Is to rule the World!

[samercury]

Is to rule the World
And conquer the seven seas.
You will bow to me

[Weeping Willow]

You will bow to me
Cause I'm the king of life
And the Queen of hearts

[dcdavi]

and the queen of hearts
killed the king of minds, pleasing
the sovereign of souls

[Xamonas Chegwe]

The sovereign of souls,
Is a lonely deity;
He has no body!

[Riesa]

Fights for our FREEDOM!
Or so they'd have you believe
they fight for themselves


off topic, but regarding "What you can find under a
Scotman's Kilt Plaidie" see There (http://thebards.net/music/lyrics/The_Scotsman.shtml)


OOPs, sorry Kilted, I knew Keltic Exile didn't sound quite right! Great Link, btw.
Oh, swoon. I just love Scots.

The sovereign of souls
Five to some; six syllables
To others:Haiku.

[Outlander]

the sovereign of souls
Glowers over his self love
Sorrow is the heart

[Outlander]

Ooopps to slow, I will admit too my mistake, however, I will not fix it.
:)

[samercury]

Sorrow is the heart
Of true happiness and joy
The dragon of life

[Xamonas Chegwe]

The dragon of life;
And it does indeed drag on,
I'm happy to say.

[samercury]

:lol:

I'm happy to say
That it won't last forever
Soon, you'll be at peace

[Riesa]

Soon you'll be at peace;
Or your soul shall linger like
A war torn country.

[Virgil]

Sorrow is the heart
Of true happiness and joy
The dragon of life
Same, that is excellent, quite quotable.

A war torn country
A sad people shrugging off
the last episode.

[Riesa]

The last episode
Of Star Trek, why does it have
To end, why, why, why????

sorry, feeling irreverent.

[Virgil]

You may feel irrevernet, but I have to suffer trying to haiku with your last line. ;)

To end, why, why, why?
The evening, the last sad hour.
Let us say goodbye.

[Riesa]

lol

Let us say goodbye,
Dear Friend, you've only begun,
Why do you leave now?

[Virgil]

Why do I leave now?
It's almost midnight by me
soft mattress sounds good

[Riesa]

Soft mattress sounds good.
How true, for the old and ill,
Or those so tired.

:wave:

[Weeping Willow]

Or those so tired
Shall rest till better they'll be
Time heals and then kills

[Virgil]

Time heals and then kills
A patch for the old blue jeans
A shovel to dig

[Weeping Willow]

A shovel to dig
And a rake to clear the leaves
You see Autumn's here

[samercury]

;_;

You see Autumn's here
And in its wake comes winter
The season of Death

[Riesa]

You see Autumn's here,
Golden straw, ripe apples fall
Startling blackbirds.

[samercury]

Startling blackbirds
Who suddenly fly away-
A floating feather

[Riesa]

A floating feather,
Suspended life, a wrung neck.
The season of death.

[Virgil]

The season of death
Grannies signing off daily
Farewell to the old

[samercury]

Farewell to the old
Who taught us so many things
How we will miss them

[Riesa]

How we will miss them;
Soft voices, gently teaching
The art of playing.

[Virgil]

The art of playing,
scrabble, chess, monopoly,
is for the children.

[Riesa]

Is for the children:
Dancing like rain, Moon fancies;
Unchallenged moxie.

[Weeping Willow]

Unchallenged moxie.
Free as a bird floating on
The waves of freedom

[Xamonas Chegwe]

The waves of freedom;
Although they seem to beckon,
Are waving goodbye.

[Weeping Willow]

Are waving goodbye
The two hands from high above
The hands of my lord

[I.C. Change]

the hands of my lord
hands that we consistently bite
oh patient hands

[I.C. Change]

the hands of my lord
hands that we consistently bite
oh patient hands

[Aurora Ariel]

Oh patient hands
Drop this cold liquid Today
Poison chills the bones.

[Weeping Willow]

Poison chills the bones
From Bottom to Hill and sky
Above There's nothing

[samercury]

Above There's nothing
Infinite, calm emptiness
Shadows scream below

[Weeping Willow]

Shadows scream below
Death is on strike So no souls
To take the life from

[Xamonas Chegwe]

To take the life from,
A cow for food; to you beef,
To me blasphemy!

[Riesa]

To me, Blasphemy!
Here Boy, "That's a good dog,
Here is a yum-yum."

[samercury]

Here is a yum-yum
You've worked hard and deserve it
Now, fetch me my pen

[Riesa]

Now, fetch me my pen.
Even dogs get paid today;
I'll write you a check.

[samercury]

lol

I'll write you a check
Wait for me in my office
...I will be right back

[Riesa]

"I will be right back...."
Blasphemy sits. Whimpers. Howls.
Oh, how Man deceives!

[samercury]

Oh, how Man deceives!
Why should he trust anyone
Always left behind

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Always left behind;
because when I walk, I walk,
sideways, right side first.

[Riesa]

Sideways, right side first.
Teaching a crab to two-step
Is tricky business.

[samercury]

Is tricky business
And not worth the trouble
He'll just run away

[Virgil]

He'll just run away
The rabbit caught in the trap
Born free as the wind

Really corny, from a song back in the seventies.

[white camellia]

Born free as the wind
But he can never be it
exhausted in Dream

[Weeping Willow]

exhausted in Dream
Waken to a dready world
From i shall run fast

[Riesa]

From I shall run fast,
Take shelter in a prison
Of my own device.

Another borrowed lyric from the seventies.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

From I shall run fast;
Towards I stride andante,
But around I crept.

[Riesa]

Clever Sod. ;)

But around I crept.
The lion on a tie-out
Preens, sharpening claws.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Oops - I spend hours trying to think of a way to follow that line and you post at the same time. appo polly loggies

Preens, sharpening claws,
Then laying them in a row;
Strange creatures preens!

[Weeping Willow]

Strange creatures preens
From the Seas they crawled on us
We're under ATTACK!!!!

[Nightshade]

We're Under ATTACK!
Evil penguins are coming!
No they've arrived

:goof: :lol:

[Xamonas Chegwe]

No! They've arrived!
And the carpet not vacuumed!
Quick, pass me a rug!

[Riesa]

Oops - I spend hours trying to think of a way to follow that line and you post at the same time. appo polly loggies
I'm glad you did. It was a wonderful Haiku.


Quick, pass me a rug,
I'm numb in this old barouche.
Let's stop for Sherry.

[Weeping Willow]

Let's stop for Sherry
Or Vodka tea is better
so many Choices!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

So many choices:
Clean? Dust? Iron? Tidy? Vacuum?
I know - I'll HAIKU!

[Weeping Willow]

I know - I'll HAIKU!
From dusk till dawn they all say
Yeah ha! Party Time

[Hazel-Ra]

Yeah ha! Party Time
Bring on those black sambucas
Til last orders at bar

[Riesa]

Till last orders at bar;
Drink Scotch neat with me; let's smoke
Cigarettes and sway.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Cigarettes and sway?
They don't often make me sway,
What are you smoking?

[Nightshade]

What are you smoking?!
I can't indorse illegals,
Mess you got us in!

[Weeping Willow]

Mess you got us in!
Don't tell them it's a secret
Got to say goodbye

[Riesa]

Got to say goodbye.
The sun is out you know.
Good day for a hike.

[Weeping Willow]

Good day for a hike.
Riding across a nice stream
Just me and you, friend

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Just me and you friend;
This is how it always ends,
last to leave the bar.

[Weeping Willow]

last to leave the bar
After !.5 litters
Guinnes is my blood

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Litters? You give birth in bars? What kind of willow are you?

[nickelsilver]

Guinness is my blood.
I mean beer--not the actor.
Help me Obi-Wan!

[Riesa]

Help me Obi-Wan,
Aw, crack a smile, Princess.
If not, let's just drink.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

There's a definite theme of intoxication in this thread tonight!

If not, let's just drink;
If perhaps, lets drink also,
That way, yes comes soon!

[Riesa]

That way, yes comes soon!
Wild yes it would be too;
With all this drinking!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

WIth all this drinking,
Counting Shyllables becomes,
A. Ve. Ry. Hard. Thing.

[Riesa]

A very hard thing;
So you say. I've calluses
From counting this way.

[Virgil]

From counting this way
we set the house lopsided.
We're gonna get fired.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

"We're going to get fired."
You said, your legs astraddle,
The office Xerox!

[samercury]

The office Xerox
Listening to what you say
Betrays you later

[Riesa]

Betrays you later,
Slip of the finger, sending
What you can't retrieve. :)

[Xamonas Chegwe]

What you can't retrieve;
All the many dropped stitches,
That didn't save nine.

[dcdavi]

“that didn’t save nine
from the threshing machine”, said
the one fingered man

[samercury]

The one fingered man
Who thought he was the winner
Unending battle

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Unending battle;
Is the toilet seat up or,
The toilet seat down

[Riesa]

The toilet seat down
Will save many a face from
A yucky dog kiss.

[I.C. Change]

A yucky dog kiss
The remains of yesterday
Next time sure to flush

[Virgil]

A yucky dog kiss
I recieve every evening.
Brandi licky lick.

[Riesa]

lol
(my star trek one was much easier to follow than this one, Virgil.!:lol:)

Brandi Licky lick.
Virgil always shouts Ick!
But kisses her back.

[Virgil]

Outstanding! :lol: You deserve a thumbs up: :thumbs_up

But kisses her back
The woman in the wheelchair
at the nursing home.

[Riesa]

Thanks, but I just realized that the middle line was only six. Eh? My mind is going. :D


At the nursing home;
Weda gets my Christmas Card;
Doesn't place my name.

[Nightshade]

Doesn't place my name.
On the resteraunt guest list,
Can I borrow yours?

[Nisha]

Can I borrow your's
You heart here for company
Be near till life lasts

:banana:

I didnt thnk I will b able to do it.

[Riesa]

Hi, Nisha. I see you found the Haiku thread. :)

Be near till life lasts.
Follow me to the unknown;
Push me, and I you.

[nickelsilver]

Push me, and I you.
Push my swing higher, higher.
Almost like flying.

[atiguhya padma]

Almost like flying
Suspended in emptiness
This beautiful earth

[nickelsilver]

This beautiful earth
Like a helium balloon.
Who's holding the string?

[dcdavi]

who’s holding the string
while tigers stalk the loose end
kittens never care.

[Weeping Willow]

kittens never care.
All they do is sleep and eat
and jump om my legs

[Riesa]

And jump on my legs
Please, I'm tired of walking.
I'd rather just sit.

[Weeping Willow]

I'd rather just sit
Relax and just stop this life
Time is slowing down....

[dcdavi]

time is slowing down...
everything is relative
at the speed of light

[Xamonas Chegwe]

At the speed of light,
We danced the wild fandango;
That was so tiring!

[samercury]

lol

That was so tiring!
And all the birds were screaming...
I learned my lesson

[Riesa]

I learned my lesson,
Then I learned it once again.
That stone keeps rolling.

[Virgil]

The stone keeps rolling
my underworld punishment.
Back up it must go

[samercury]

Back up it must go
-An eternal punishment:
"Want to hear me sing?"

[Weeping Willow]

Want to hear me sing?
Sure i do! your voice is an
Angel from the skys

[Hazel-Ra]

This thread rocks!!

Angel from the skies
Save me from the darkness
and give of the light

[Nisha]

And give of the light
The eternal blessing that
will keep me safe

Im jus gonna be able to put in one haiku per day huh?*sigh* :(

[nickelsilver]

Will, keep me safe.
"No, you're on your own, sister."
He ALWAYS says that!

[Nisha]

:goof:
hehe..The second lines supposed to be seven syllables dear..

He ALWAYS says that!
But I refuse to believe
This time he will pay..!!

[Xamonas Chegwe]

This time he will pay;
That's how the round system works,
I bought the last beers!

[Weeping Willow]

I bought the last beers
So come on to the Foggi -
Dew! it is the best!

[Riesa]

Dew! It is the best!
Tiny teardrops, bug fountain;
Scattered dawn diamonds.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Beautiful Riesa - one of your best.

[samercury]

:nod:
Yes it is

[Riesa]

Wow. Samercury and Xamonas, thank you! It is?

My only problem is how to follow:

'Yes it is'...I start
Counting syllables and that
line is only three. :D

[Xamonas Chegwe]

"Scattered Dawn diamonds?"
"Why yes, I believe she did,
I shall collect them!"

[Virgil]

I shall collect them,
the worn coins from ancient times
Roman emperors

[Riesa]

Roman Emperor
Gaius, chose equine Consul
named Incitatus.

[Weeping Willow]

Named Incitatus
The horse of god he called him
But he was not god

[Riesa]

But he was not god,
Only fierce, noble and brave.
What Senators aren't.

[Weeping Willow]

What Senators aren't
But lets not talk politics
Since it's bad for you

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Since it's bad for you,
You should not drink to excess;
Pass that whisky here!

[Riesa]

Pass that whisky here,
Strum that guitar, croon, chill me.
Shine on me, moonglow.

[dcdavi]

shine on me, moonglow
while hidding in the backwood,
moonshine glows in me


sorry if my edits screwed anyone up.. i could not leave this one alone :)

[Virgil]

moonshine glows in me
feels like walking in cool air
feels likes a blue song

[Riesa]

Feels like a blue song,
Must be the whiskey, cool air;
Must be the full moon.

[Virgil]

Must be the full moon
that rinses the stale night air
and bathes the maple tree.

[Riesa]

And bathes the maple tree,
Light saturates veins, transforms
Aged tree inward out.

[Hazel-Ra]

Aged tree inward out
Spread your seeds into the wind
Agony passed to others

[Nisha]

Agony passed to others
our legacy destined
the curse of the land

[amuse]

the curse of the land,
unquenched, begets death from it's
very RNA.


*sorry, re: new line

[Weeping Willow]

Very RNA
Which i do not know what is
So i start again

[Virgil]

So I start again
This road that ends at the sky
Sneakers are wearing.

[Weeping Willow]

Sneakers are wearing
What if i have two left feet
What shall i wear then?? :lol:

[Riesa]

"What shall I wear then?"
The Dutch have this same problem.
Their secret is clogs.

[Weeping Willow]

Their secret is clogs
Mine is some Pants and a shirt
What's yours Milady?

[samercury]

lol

What's yours Milady?
Could you have buried his heart
Without second thoughts?

[Weeping Willow]

Without second thoughts?
No regrats! no sorrow! Shame
So now i feel bad

[Virgil]

So now I feel bad
blocking poor pooch from the room.
She's been a terror.

[samercury]

She's been a terror
Kicking and screaming all day
Babysitting, Fun?

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Babysitting fun;
Sending them to bed early,
And nailing shut their doors!

[Virgil]

And nailing shut their doors
Never works to keep your child
prisoner at night.

[ktd222]

prisoner at night
dreaming shall set the child free,
and let the soul lead

[Virgil]

And let the soul lead
Happiness depends on it.
Walk on playful heart.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Walk on playful heart;
Though your games are spiked with pain,
I shall not rein you.

[Riesa]

I shall not rein you,
Nor urge honest repentance.
Conceit perverts truth.

[Virgil]

Conceit perverts truth
But we only have conceit
Inside our blind hearts

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Inside, our blind hearts,
Beat; Marking time, as they wait,
For someone to love.

[Weeping Willow]

For someone to love
As i love them all out there
In this one Mad World

[ktd222]

In this one Mad world
we all have our sanity.
Mine--in college hoops

[Riesa]

Mine--in college hoops.
Three point buzzer basket:
My sanity lost!

[Virgil]

In this one Mad world
we all have our sanity.
Mine--in college hoops
Do you play basketball?

My sanity lost
Incoherence dribbling
blip, blip, blip, blip, blop.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

blip, blip, blip, blip, blop;
The incoherent ramblings,
Of a deranged mind!

[ktd222]

of a deranged mind,
'I know I love you stranger.'
'Will you be my pet?'

[Virgil]

Will you be my pet?
Do you think I'm so easy?
Heck no. Well, maybe.

[ktd222]

Heck no. Well, maybe.
'Make up your mind, goddamn it!'
Beware! I'm crazy!

[Virgil]

ktd - I'd like to post the new poem for discussion on Monday. I have one in particular I'd like to discuss. I hope you'll participate.

Beware! I'm crazy!
Do you see this machete??
Friday the 13th.

[ktd222]

I'd would like to, Virgil. Is the poem any better than last weeks?

Friday the 13th.
Wholly ****! That reminds me:
I'm late for 'stalking.'

[Virgil]

I'd would like to, Virgil. Is the poem any better than last weeks?

I'm thinking of Ezra Pound's Canto XVII. I don't know if it's as rich as the Elizabeth Bishop one you picked, but I love the language of it.

I'm late for stalking
Watch out women I'm leaving.
Prowl the New York streets

[Riesa]

:lol:

These are two of the finest Haiku I've ever had the joy to read, thank you! :lol:

[ktd222]

That would be a good change from these Dream Songs of John Berryman I'm reading now.

Prowl the New York streets
with machete from Virgil.
Next stop: Riker's Isle.

[Virgil]

Riker's Island! You must know New york.

Next stop: Riker's Island
Handcuffed, sentenced, and locked up.
Throw away the damn key.

[amuse]

throw away the damn key?
then how to use the loo with
this chastity belt?

[Virgil]

this chastity belt?
:lol: :lol: Boy, we are all on a roll tonight!

This chastity belt?
Can a man try it on? Do
the parts interfere?

[dcdavi]

the parts interfere,
the instructions confuse, looks like
no bike for Christmas.

[ktd222]

no bike for Christmas
shoot, I'll go to Bikes R' Us
and just say, 'charge-it.'

[Riesa]

And just say, 'charge-it.'
Holy Acquisition. Debt
Feeds the wealthiest.

[Nisha]

feeds the wealthiest
the biggest plum he could find
the groveling git!

:nod:

[Riesa]

The groveling git!
Grotesque since preschool, leaking
Juice, dripping money.
