Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

[Ryduce]

The sun complicates
then that son of a ***** burns
SPF saves lives

[Petrarch's Love]

SPF saves lives
So always wear your sunscreen
And heed good advice

[chmpman]

And heed "good" advice
Even if only to prove
Adults don't know ****.

[dcdavi]

adults don’t know ****
but a little bran can help
them get acquainted

[Virgil]

Them get acquainted?
Like oil and vinegar, me
And Unnamable.

[chmpman]

And Unnamable
With all, fraternally shall
Employ sportive art.

[Mililalil XXIV]

Employ sportive art,
so in wakeful idleness
no dreamer may tell.

[dcdavi]

no dreamer may tell
no matter how they try, what's
in front of their eyes

[Petrarch's Love]

In front of their eyes
Was a spectacular sight
Passing words to say

[chmpman]

Passing words to say
That which is more directly
Felt within the soul

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Felt within the soul,
Velvet of heart and silk brained;
A material girl?

[chmpman]

I can only wish to be so clever.

A material girl
Tramps about the city streets
Wide-eyed in wonder.

[Petrarch's Love]

Wide-eyed in wonder
While sightseeing with Virgil
Through the Inferno.

[Riesa]

Through the Inferno,
Ships flow down lava veins with
Bedeviled cargo.

[chmpman]

Bedeviled cargo,
Black amid bottomless pits,
Ransacked by Customs.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Ransacked by customs,
Bedevilled by rituals;
The normal binds me.

Thanks chmpman, I was very proud of that one. :D

[Riesa]

The normal binds me,
Struggling furiously I
Walk about rope-burned.

[Weeping Willow]

Walk about rope-burned.
Saving my head from the hang
Robinhood my lord!

[Virgil]

Robinhood my lord?
He's a thief and a begger.
Sherwood Forest skunk.

[RobinHood3000]

Sherwood Forest skunk
Is a euphemistic term
All right!! Who let one??

[Virgil]

Sherwood Forest skunk
Is a euphemistic term
All right!! Who let one??
You would be the one to post right after that. I was hoping you wouldn't see it. :lol:

All right!! Who let one??
Blame it on the silent dog.
No one will object.

[Petrarch's Love]

No one will object
Except the innocent hound
Chosen as scapegoat.

[chmpman]

Chosen as scapegoat,
Time's shadow walks in glory;
Man's folly in mind.

[Mililalil XXIV]

in front of their eyes
all the dreams that they have dreamt
are turned to taboo.

[Petrarch's Love]

Are turned to taboo
Turned toward forbidden fruit
Always the most sweet.

[samercury]

Always the most sweet.
But then turns very bitter
Exactly like life

[Ryduce]

Exactly like life
The dog who chases his tail-
around in circles.

[samercury]

Around in circles.
Again, always, never stop
What're you looking for?

[chmpman]

What're you looking for
In broad and rising cities
Belted by commerce?

[Riesa]

Belted by commerce,
Hatted with financial gain,
Laced by slick business.

:D

[Riesa]

Laced by slick business,
That particular cocktail
Leaves a bitter taste.

[Petrarch's Love]

Leaves a bitter taste,
A taste much like the feeling
Of rejected love.

[Virgil]

Of rejected love
One decides to self steel up.
Oak trees in the woods.

[chmpman]

Oak trees in the woods
Stand silent and contemplate
Birds on their perches.

[Petrarch's Love]

Birds on their perches
Nice quiet birds, unlike my
Flighty feathered pet.

[Aurora Ariel]

Flighty feathered pet
Craves the restless seeds of life
Mad blossoms of Spring.

[Dawn-bringer]

A.s.p.i.r.a.t.i.o.n.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Prbably better if you post that in personal poetry Dawn - It's not a Haiku - read the first post here. :D

[RobinHood3000]

Mad blossoms of spring
The Hatter and his buddy
March Hare run amok

[Riesa]

March Hare run amok,
Trailing wild ivy-hair,
Mantled with spring buds.

[Petrarch's Love]

Nice one Riesa.:)

Mantled with spring buds
Dancing by the three graces
In Primavera

http://www.geocities.com/symbolos/s27primavera.jpg

[RobinHood3000]

In primavera
Lies the source of all evil
Indigestion sucks.

[Virgil]

Indigestion sucks.
Pass the alka-seltzer please.
Lord, I might vomit.

[Riesa]

Thanks, Petrach.

Lord, I might vomit,
Jameson celebration
Hurts like hell today.

;)

[samercury]

Hurts like hell today.
At least, more than yesterday
And the day before

[Virgil]

And the day before
I went in front of the judge
to beg for mercy.

[samercury]

To beg for mercy.
"Please help me" the soft voice cried
"Please don't leave me here"

[Outlander]

"Please Don't leave me here"
The pendulum sighed in pain
Hates ear was amused.

[samercury]

Hates ear was amused.
Listening to the soft wind
Sliding through the grass

[kilted exile]

sliding through the grass
broke bottle rips at my knee
Left five inch long scar

[Riesa]

Left five inch long scar,
I never wanted to know
My heart was that large.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

My heart was that large,
It couldn't fit in my chest;
It's in a box now.

[Riesa]

It's in a box now,
Sealed with packing tape, and marked
Return to sender.

[jackyyyy]

Return to sender.
Take back the ink, love and all
No more free samples.

[samercury]

No more free samples.
You'll have to buy what you want
Thank you, come again

[Riesa]

Thank You, come again;
Return your library books
And pay no large fees.

[Aurora Ariel]

And pay no large fees
Love is free, you can't buy me-
I'm not mute doll.

[white camellia]

I'm not mute doll
load me a solar cell and
just press the button

[Weeping Willow]

Just press the button
The One that says "DON'T PRESS HERE!"
It is Dangeous

[Riesa]

It is dangerous
To roll off a cliff in an
Empty beer barrel.

[Weeping Willow]

Empty beer barrel
Is what's left from our party
At Riesa's last night!

[Riesa]

------------------------nvm

[samercury]

At Riesa's last night!
I wonder how that happened-
Must have been asleep

[Virgil]

Must have been asleep
while the Red Sox won the game.
Ortiz got the hit.

[samercury]

Ortiz got the hit.
Three cheers and happy bubbles
Break when you poke them

[Anon22]

Break when you poke them
happy bubbles, and three cheers,
Ortiz got the hit

:) :p

[Aurora Ariel]

Ortiz got the hit
His vague brother dreamed of it
Lost, alone, in bed.

[MissJaneEyre19]

Lost, alone, in bed
I wish you were here with me
My heart grows weary

[dcdavi]

my heart grows weary
perhaps it should retire from
beating me to death

[Riesa]

Beating me to death
Through its fanciful habits;
My echoing tomb.

[Petrarch's Love]

My echoing tomb
Is cold and dank to life but
Pleasant for the dead.

[chmpman]

Pleasant for the dead,
Hungry worms tickle the flesh,
Tunnels in soft cheese.

Rather morbid if I do say so myself.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Tunnels in soft cheese,
Tongue-trapping bubbles of bliss;
Hail fromagerie!

[Riesa]

Hail fromagerie!
And sellers of Pasillas,
White tiles, red doors.

[Virgil]

White tiles, red doors
Funky bathroom at the bar.
Play me some raw blues.

[samercury]

Play me some raw blues.
'Cause music always brightens
Those dreadful mondays.

[Mililalil XXIV]

Those dreadful mondays
are intending to construe
another cycle.

[Aurora Ariel]

Another cycle
Of disease, of swift decay
Dissolving brave hearts.

[Petrarch's Love]

Disolving brave hearts
Fallen men turning to dust
Among shattered spears

[amuse]

Among shattered Spears
vocal cords and soldiers bid
adieu to honor

[RobinHood3000]

Adieu to honor
Farewell to ancient glory
Only vengeance now.

[chmpman]

Only vengeance now
For a past chained to sorrow,
We shall have our day.

[Virgil]

We shall have our day,
Sharing haiku on lit net
with all my good friends.


My three thousandth post!!!!! :banana:

PS - I beat Riesa to 3000!

[samercury]

yay

With all my good friends.
Enjoying life when it's best
Don't worry so much

[RobinHood3000]

Don't worry so much
About your post count, Virgil
Quality comes first

[Anon22]

Quality comes first,
oh yes, it indeed comes first.
Magnificent, Virg

[samercury]

Magnificent, Virg
"Wonderful spirit you have
It looks delicious"

[Mililalil XXIV]

"It looks delicious",
thinks every eater near;
all on the table!

[RobinHood3000]

All on the table
His fate now lies in luck's hands
Chance chooses the cards.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Chance chooses the cards;
We are dealt what we are dealt,
But we can still bluff.

[Riesa]

But we can still bluff,
Fooling those light-headed, that
Flounder indecisive.

[Virgil]

Flounder indecisive
Nibbles at the worm, then bites.
"Hey, I got one now."

[chmpman]

"Hey, I got one now,"
The boy said with a slight smile
"Why did the chicken..."

Yea! my 666th post!!!

[Virgil]

Why did the chicken
cross the road? To get to the
supermarket for packaging.

[Riesa]

Supermarket for packaging:
The longest five syllables
This Haiku has seen.
:lol:

[Virgil]

*shrugs shoulders with a smile*

This haiku has seen
blue skies and storm clouds and night.
But it has felt love.

[Riesa]

:D :nod:
But it has felt love,
Struggling it's way out of it's
Tattered little box.

[chmpman]

Tattered little box
Held by a callow child, in
Deep sleep he slumbers

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Deep sleep he slumbers
Through; en route to who knows where;
Beyond the night's dreams.

[chmpman]

Beyond the night's dreams
Day breaks and illuminates
A shadowed spectrum.

[RobinHood3000]

A shadowed spectrum
Harbinger, now approaches
The Green Lantern's Light.

[Petrarch's Love]

The green lantern's light
Beckons thirsty men to a
Clean well lighted place

[dreamsbegone]

clean well lighted place
to satisfy the thirstiness
thirstiness is gone

[Riesa]

Thirstiness is gone?
Off to where, I'm wondering,
What say you, Good Day!

[Virgil]

What say you, Good Day!
What say he, on a bad day?
Shudder at the thought.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Shudder at the thought,
Of Christina Aguillera,
Singing opera! :eek2:

[Riesa]

Singing opera :eek2:
The cat yowls and bites my face,
I can't stand critics!

[RobinHood3000]

I can't stand critics
Three will never jeer again
Bodies still unfound.

[samercury]

Bodies still unfound.
Thought I knew where I hid them-
Better get new ones

[Virgil]

Bodies still unfound.
Thought I knew where I hid them-
Better get new ones
:lol: :lol:


Better get new ones.
The old underwear have holes.
May get too drafty.

[samercury]

May get too drafty.
-This reminds me of last time
Do you remember?

[Riesa]

Do you remember,
Crumpets, tea and brown spiders
On webs, dangling low?

[Petrarch's Love]

On webs, dangling low
Are three avant garde dancers
In spider ballet.

[ktd222]

In spider ballet
I acted as the sun; man!
that was a tough role.

[Riesa]

That was a tough role:
And my acting skills fall short
Of expectations.

[Petrarch's Love]

Of expectations
Great but unlasting I've had
My fair share I guess

[Xamonas Chegwe]

My fair share I guess,
To be most of everything;
Others won't agree.

[Riesa]

Others won't agree
That life wouldn't be the same
Without cilantro.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Had to look up cilantro Riesa. We call it coriander. And I couldn't agree more - luvverley stuff! :nod:

[dcdavi]

without cilantro
the latest craze, chipoltle's,
is just mcdonald's

[chmpman]

Is just Mcdonald's
An unhealthy diet, for
Which to die eating?

[Virgil]

Which to die eating?
Pot roast, Mama's lasagna,
Or luscious cheese cake?

[Xamonas Chegwe]

"...Or luscious cheesecake."
At last, the waiter finished;
"Just coffee", She says.

[Petrarch's Love]

"Just coffee," she says
Then changes her mind and eats
Two pieces of pie! :D

[Xamonas Chegwe]

"Just coffee," she says
Then changes her mind and eats
Two pieces of pie! :D

:lol: Women for you!

[Yomiko]

Two pieces of pie
Lie on the plate before me...
Which should I eat first?

[chmpman]

Which should I eat first?
The immortal question of
Life's continuance.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Life's continuance;
No graphic details in this,
Family forum

[Riesa]

Family forum
Incubating reflection,
Hatching novel thought.

[Virgil]

Hatching novel thought
Faulkner wrote of southern lives,
The Sound and The Fury

[RobinHood3000]

The sound and the fury
Of her constant henpecking
Such is my wife's voice.

[Ryduce]

Such is my wifes voice
resonating constantly
till death do us part

[chmpman]

Till death do us part
Our lives shall be intertwined;
Mystery fading

[Yomiko]

Mystery fading
Under the light of knowledge
That shines so brightly

[Petrarch's Love]

That shines so brightly
That it challenges the sun;
That light in his eyes

[Riesa]

Nice, PL

That light in his eyes
Beguiling as a lantern
To evening insects

[Petrarch's Love]

Thanks

To evening insects
Night is large, darkness safe but
Zapping light danger.

[ktd222]

Zapping light danger-
I know just what to say next:
THE END! thats all folks

[Petrarch's Love]

THE END! "That's all folks,"
Stutters the cartoon pig. Then
The next show comes on.

[chmpman]

The next show comes on
And the lights dim as before;
Spotlights only shine.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Spotlights only shine;
But a well played performance,
Can illuminate.

[Petrarch's Love]

Can illuminate
In large books with monkish hand
Letters in gold leaf.

[ktd222]

Letters in gold leaf
all frilled and fancied up and
sold to the high bid

[Virgil]

sold to the high bid
porky wobbled from the pen
to the dinner plate.

[rabid reader]

To the dinner plate
Where its lifeless art now lay
Beautiful in death

[ktd222]

'to the dinner plate,
to the dinner plate for pork
you vegitarians

[RobinHood3000]

You vegetarians
Fail to see chicken's glory
Beautiful in death

[ktd222]

Beautiful in death-
as good as an uneducated guess-
know what I mean, Jean?

[Miss_Katie]

Know what I mean, Jean?
There was chicken sandwich here
But it is no more.

[ktd222]

But it is no more.
The Vegitarian did it.
It was the Vegan.

[samercury]

But it is no more.
Disappeared without a trace,
Dear one, where are you?

[rabid reader]

Dear one, where are you?
In my bed with the dirty sheets
I have no words

[Miss_Katie]

I have no words
To describe someone who calls
Chicken sandwich "dear"

[ktd222]

Chicken sandwich "dear,"
'what; no?' How about this, 'one
chicken sandwich bub'

[Miss_Katie]

Chicken sandwich bub'
He told me this when he left
I knew it was her

[ktd222]

I knew it was her.
The one wearing the shirt that
said 'chicken countess'

[Miss_Katie]

said 'chicken countess'
Mine jealous and evil friend
She had been deprived

[ktd222]

She had been deprived
so I sent her up uptown
girl, do do dowop

[Miss_Katie]

girl, do do dowop
that's all they ever told her
even at her death

[Yomiko]

Even at her death,
She still held some form of life
And dignity, still.

[dcdavi]

sold to the high bid
collector to collector
the artist long dead

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Oops dcdavi - looks like you missed a page :D

I shall tie up the loose ends.

And dignity still
Seems a distant memory;
Working as a clown.

The artist long dead;
The shell he left behind is
Working as a clown.

[dcdavi]

working as a clown.
frowns were turned upside down when
XC saved my ***

[Riesa]

XC saved my ***
From a day without laughter
Though I cringed a bit. ;)

[Petrarch's Love]

Though I cringed a bit
I held firm and survived through
All of Zoolander.

[Virgil]

All of Zoolander
Came to see those lovely eggs,
Hand painted last night.

[chmpman]

Hand painted last night
The whitewash shone bright in sun
Not by Sawyer done.

[Riesa]

Not by Sawyer done,
With bold entrepreneurship,
Tricks his worker bees.

[ktd222]

Tricks his worker bees,
with but a dash of toad's warts,
to be human beings

[Virgil]

To be human beings
One must embrace compassion.
Winter's nights are raw.

[ktd222]

Winter's nights are raw
if you dont have a parka.
I have two parkas.

[dcdavi]

i have two parkas
one glove for two hands, and eight
buns for ten hotdogs.

[Mililalil XXIV]

buns for ten hotdogs
never shall be in one bag,
though all souls yet beg

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Though all souls yet beg,
For someone to answer them;
Heaven is empty.

[Petrarch's Love]

Heaven is empty
Of nothing and filled with the
Best of our own souls

[chmpman]

Best of our own souls
Is waiting to emerge from
Quick moving fingers.

[RobinHood3000]

Quick moving fingers
Liszt etudes submit to the
Will of the artist.

[Riesa]

Will of the artist,
Will O' the wisp, spellbound, yield
To light, mesmerized.

[chmpman]

To light, mesmerized
By the depth of true blackness;
A cynical heart.

[Riesa]

A cynical heart
Is bred, not born, and sustains
It's ire with truth.

[ktd222]

It's ire with truth-
forsooth, forsooth. Whoops! let me
reboot computer.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Reboot computer;
Microsoft is having yet,
Another tantrum.

[Riesa]

Another tantrum;
May I? I shan't! I will! Won't!
All in a day's work.

[Virgil]

All in a day's work
Pruning vines for the new spring.
Grapes for the fall crop.

[Petrarch's Love]

Grapes for the fall crop
Wine for the winter table
Where we'll drink to spring

[Virgil]

Where we drink to spring,
a long gulp of cool red wine
from a leather flask

[Riesa]

From a leather flask;
To the striking of leather
On an exposed back.

[RobinHood3000]

On an exposed back
Two hands and oil bottles
Soothe away all pain.

[samercury]

Soothe away all pain.
New hope, like phoenix, rising
Look to the future

[Riesa]

Look to the future:
Red beans on rice, pink sands and
Babies all grown up!

[samercury]

Babies all grown up!
I wonder when time passed by-
They grow up so fast

[chmpman]

They grow up so fast;
From children to bright-eyed men
In a bullet's flash.

[Weeping Willow]

Though all souls yet beg
Mine is stuck between the Realms
Of Insenity

[Virgil]

Of insanity
I suffer;, so sullen, I
walk with red eye sight.

[Weeping Willow]

Walk with red eye sight
Into my own little Hell
Prison of my souls

[Virgil]

Prison of my souls
Yes, I have more that one soul.
Schitzophrenia!

[ktd222]

Schitzophrenia!
'Man thats a super long word,'
Virgil. 'Who is there!'

[Weeping Willow]

Virgil. 'Who is there!'
Echo the Voice in my mind
"Hello low low low"

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Hello, low, low, low;
Just called to say "hi", high, high,
Manic-depressive.

[Nightshade]

Manic depressive
Doesnt mean I cant be
Just as good as you

[Riesa]

Just as good as you,
But best at being me, and
You're best being you.

[Virgil]

You're best being you
A sole walker through the world.
A lonely person.

[Weeping Willow]

A LoNeLY pErSoN
JUSt SitTiNg tHeRe In ThE RAiN
SIngINg In ThE RaIn

[ktd222]

SIngINg In ThE RaIn
has gotten me sick from time
to time. Pollution?

[Reichenbach]

To time. Pollution?
How much Do we all have left?
Our time; polluted.

[Reichenbach]

Our time; polluted,
Our life; corroding away.
What is left? Nothing.

[Riesa]

What is left? Nothing
But an old airplane ticket
Placed between pages.

[Weeping Willow]

Placed between pages
Like Dust till dawn i sit still
My Own twilight Zone!

[chmpman]

My own twilight zone,
Left alone in solitude;
Graspless I seek life.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Graspless I seek life;
Until eyeless, I see it,
Slip through non-fingers.

[chmpman]

Slip through non-fingers
That have no firm felt embrace
And exist in thought.

[ktd222]

And exist in thought
a nagging Voice goads me to
slap this stranger's face.

[Mililalil XXIV]

slap this stranger's face
and never tell it to me,
for I watch it not!

[Riesa]

For I watch it not,
Since I can't believe much of
The nightly newscast.

[samercury]

The nightly newscast.
Entertainment at its worst
Here comes “Weatherman”

[chmpman]

Here comes Weatherman,
Too late to tell of record
Hurricane seasons

[chef]

Hurricane season?
now we know people,
run as far as you can from the shore!

[Mililalil XXIV]

Now we know people,
and we also know people!
But count the others.

[Riesa]

But count the others,
The ones that think they don't count,
Among your good friends.

[Petrarch's Love]

Among your good friends
Are the blue bird and green frog.
You live among trees.

[chmpman]

You live among trees,
Nature's faithful time-pieces
That gloat in warm spring.

[ktd222]

That gloat in warm spring
is but a reminder of
our human desire

[Riesa]

Our human desire
Grows dully gaunt or fleshy;
Crushing with it's will.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Crushing with it's will,
The mighty skin of the grape;
The fruitbat conquers.

[chmpman]

The fruitbat conquers
Grapes meted to desire
With satisfaction.

[Psycheinaboat]

With satisfaction
I look at photos of you
Bitterness rooted

[Anon22]

Bitterness rooted
are the tears of that girl, how
innocent she cries.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Innocent she cries;
But her too-knowing glances
Highlight her deceit.

[Riesa]

Highlight her deceit
With sketchy paranoia,
Jealousy assumes.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

Jealousy assumes
The worst; the deeper the love,
The worse that worst gets.

[Riesa]

The worse that worst gets
The more the flies adore it
Yummy! Rotten meat.

[Virgil]

Yummy! Rotten meat.
Lost in the woods, one will eat
anything to survive.

[Petrarch's Love]

Anything to survive
Except eat lots of mustard
Yucky stuff, mustard.

[Riesa]

Yucky stuff, mustard?!
When Wasabi dipped, naked
Sashimi is dressed.

[Petrarch's Love]

Sashimi is dressed
For her date who wonders why
She's named for raw fish.

[Riesa]

:lol:
She's named for raw fish,
Oversight by Japanese
Wannabe parents.

[Petrarch's Love]

Wannabe parents
Can't afford "Harvard Pre-School"
Just "Stanford for Tots"

[ktd222]

Just "Stanford for Tots."
'Oh Great!' now I have cravings
for some tatter tots

[Petrarch's Love]

For some tater tots
Lunch comes soon. Others expire
Still in the freezer.

[Anon22]

Still in the freezer,
are all those tater tots, which
I shall eat later.

[Petrarch's Love]

I shall eat later
And then I shall feast and grow
Fat and contented

[Riesa]

Fat and contented
Sleeping limp in a hammock,
The breeze won't budge me.

[Xamonas Chegwe]

The breeze won't budge me,
The rain won't wet me at all;
Because I'm indoors.

[Anon22]

Because I'm indoors,
I am safe and sound. Because
I'm indoors, and trapped

[Riesa]

I'm indoors, and trapped
Inside this isolation,
Lacking and remote.

[ktd222]

Lacking and remote
from any near cafe, I
gnaw on my own flesh.

[rabid reader]

Gnaw on my own flesh
It kind of tasts like pepper
Maybe I'll get salt

[Riesa]

Maybe I'll get salt,
Grill up my ankles; Pickled
Toes do delight me.

[Virgil]

"Toes do delight me,"
Said the man with the fetish.
Please take your shoes off.

[samercury]

:cold:

Please take your shoes off.
You don't want to make me mad-
Want a cup of tea?
