No one has come home
Perhaps I'll warm myself up
Inviting fireplace

[Janine]

Hi Missc! Nice Haikus - you were ambitious!

Inviting fireplace
Seekers huddle near the blaze
Lights brighten faces

[Janine]

Bye....Missc.... have to go eat dinner now - it's hi and goodbye unfortunately.

[Misscaroline]

S'okay. Now I don't seem so crazy. I was really just bored. I've been on FOREVER...~exasperation~But hi all the same Janine!:wave:

Lights brighten faces
Lips tinged blue by dear Jack Frost
Not nipping by far....

[Janine]

Hi Missc - you are not crazy. I wrote a bunch of H's one night when no one else came on. I just had to keep playing - good tension relief. Now you probably went away. We keep missing each other. I jump in every so often between stuff I am doing too dull to mention.

Here's my new Haiku -

Not nipping by far....
Snowflakes bite my frozen ears
Muffs left on the desk

Muffs left on the desk

Hi, thanks. How is Antony and Cleo debates/discussions going? I checked the thread, but seemed to stop dead, two days ago. Is everyone reading Act III?

Happy Mother's Day
Christ is born, Madonna's joy
Stars in wonder shine.

Somehow, we struggle through these
Flurries of hardship.

[Janine]

Nice ShoutGrace! How are you tonight?

Flurries of hardship
Grasp we at outward supports
We stop from falling

[Janine]

We stop from falling
Through our chasms or self doubt;
We find our own way.

[ShoutGrace]

Nice ShoutGrace! How are you tonight?

Ack! I saw you were on and was waiting for you to Haiku . . . I don't know how I missed it. :( I'm doing well . . . hope you get back on!



We find our own way
Crawling past the sticky and
Cold impediments.

Cold impediments

[Whifflingpin]

Toward UCSB?
Is that Santa Barbara?

Patroness of Bangs
Patron of the Cinemas
Lock arms together

[Whifflingpin]

St Barbara is indeed the patroness of those who use explosives - gunners, miners etc.

Lock arms together
Keep back all the bulldozers
No nuclear base here!

[Laindessiel]

Oh, alright!

Neither do we hope it does.

I want to see your dear face
Capture the moment

[Laindessiel]

http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/musik/e060.gif Had a head-banging day today, Miss C.? Hi!

Capture the moment.
Hold that pose. And don't you stir.

Nah, not really. You? :wave: Hi.

Keep your chin up dear
We wouldn't want suspicion
Falling on your head

[ShoutGrace]

Falling on your head
Slip from intoxication
Blood rushes outward.

We've waited long enough, here-
Your bride's face is seen

[ShoutGrace]

Your bride's face is seen
Twisted under a glowing
Torn off fuselage.

Show teeth, but be nice

Hi Virgil, pretty silly, huh?

[Virgil]

Growl at who comes by
But don't bite the hand that feeds
Show teeth, but be nice

:lol: Spoken like a true mother.

Show teeth but be nice
while the dentist pokes your gums.
Wisdom teeth are dumb.

No, not silly.

:lol: Spoken like a true mother. Yeah really.




Wisdom teeth are dumb,

So, tell me, tis wise?
It's now been six months since I
Floundered there with you . . .

[Janine]

Floundered there with you . . .
Precariously on rocks,
Unsure emotions.

[B-Mental]

unsure emotions
sweating doubts prior tp conflict
judged slugging percent

[zanna]

judged slugging percent
but it was outweighed by my
desire to be with you

[Madhuri]

Desire to be with you
Has become my life
Are you the one?

[zanna]

are you the one,
or am i just addicted
to your charming smile?

[Madhuri]

to your charming smile -- I say
Intoxicating
Let me be in this dream - forever

[Janine]

Let me lie in my love's arms
When I have grown old

[Madhuri]

When I have grown old
And I look back -- I want to
Feel satisfied -- No regrets.

[zanna]

feel satisfied -- no regrets.
that's how it is for me, but
maybe not everyone.

[Madhuri]

Maybe not for everyone
It is a dream come true
There is no harm in trying.

[zanna]

there is no harm in
trying to find an answer
how can we have peace?

How can we have peace

Love is all we need.....

[PierreGringoire]

Love is all we need...
It is rationality
Simply... it is key

To a world of moonlight sky and twinkling stars
Ah, what beauty...

[PierreGringoire]

Ah, what beauty is
It is the eye of the soul

[zanna]

Ah, what beauty,
words flowing together with
ease, quite a feat, no?

Gah, late again!
Fixing:

Everything else is
harder, yet this has, to it,
ease, quite a feat, no?

[PierreGringoire]

ease, quite a feat, no?
But how much weight does it have?
That is the question

[Madhuri]

That is the question
How do we answer
By experience or fact

[zanna]

by experience
or fact, how does he claim to
know about true love?

[Madhuri]

Know about true love
maybe possible and
experienced by all, once atleast

[zanna]

experienced by
all, once at least! You can't go
without trying it.

*Mad, not being mean or anything, but did you know the last line is only 5 sylables?*

[Madhuri]

Without trying it
I can never know
If I was right or wrong

*Have I broken a rule? I know haiku's as verse containing three short sentences. Are there any other rules? I havent checked the initial pages.*

[Misscaroline]

If I was right or
wrong? What does it matter now?
I make my own choice

((Traditionally, I think, it's 5 syllables, then 7 syllables, then 5 syllables.))

[Madhuri]

I make my own choice
I am the best judge of
My own conscience

*I think I get it. You mean it should not exceed these many words? Or does it has to be exactly these many words? I'll take care. Thanks!*

[Whifflingpin]

I make my own choice
To learn about Haiku in
Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

[Misscaroline]

*Syllables, not words. You can pick a five syllable letter word for the first line, or five one syllable words, or one two syllable word and a three syllable word... It doesn't matter except for the syllables. But you're welcome! Love ya Mads...*

Of my own conscience
I think only of what I
Have chosen to do

Dang, ignore this... Thanks Whiffling. Nice tie-in...

Whether we have geniuses,
Told to me alone

[Laindessiel]

No problem, Uncle Whiff. I'm too young and SLOW.

Told to me alone
Wines, beers, gins, rums, tequila.
Huh. Do you drink them?

[Whifflingpin]

Huh, Do you drink them?
Better drink than drunk, my dear,
Eat or be eaten!

Ten moments to steal.

Hi Lain, Is it Christmas in the Phillipines or is it over now? It is almost Christmas here! Another half hour or so. I have to get to bed so Santa Claus can come, otherwise he will leave me coal in my stocking!:santasmil

[Laindessiel]

Funny Janine! It is already 12:41 in the afternoon now, December 25. So most of the happenings are done. http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/haushalt/h070.gif Doing that now. After lunch.

To what we would think
Depends on the ideas
The mind can concieve.

[Janine]

The mind can conceive
Things we can't hardly imagine
If we have sight within.

Lain, wow, our 25th is here now, but it is night and I am going to bed. Tomorrow we have all day to enjoy it at my son's and his wife's house. They came here tonight - very nice time! Have a good recouperation! Rest up! Janine

[ktd222]

If we have sight within
is quite a contradiction -
you shallow bastard!

[ShoutGrace]

You shallow bastard!
You are swimming at this end,
So try to be calm.

[ktd222]

'So try to be calm,'
said the man, after he flicked
pens in the ceiling.

[dramasnot6]

Pen's in the ceiling
We try to rescue him but
He uses his fire

[ktd222]

He uses his fire...
and found himself next day in
a full body cast.

A full body cast

wind out from within

wind out from within
is the last thing I need when
near a crowd of kids.

Near a crowd of kids,
An old man smiles in mem'ry
Of childhood now gone…

[ktd222]

Of childhood now gone…
all's left is trepidation
of death...death, death, death...

[Laindessiel]

Of death...death, death, death...
We all have to succumb to
Someday. But fear not.

Someday. But fear not,

Well, that's what maybe's for, but

I can see your point.
D'you have to go over it?
Hey, what's done is done.

[zanna]

Hey, what's done is done,
but that doesn't stop me from
thinking wistfully.

[Laindessiel]

Thinking wistfully
Is what Zanna and I (?) do.
Get "mistfully" too.

Whence revelation

[ktd222]

Whence revelation

what I thought at all.

What I thought at all
Seemed of little importance,
To your stagnant mind.

We offer clouds and rainbows.
Now you stop moving!

But the males won't budge.
They lie fat and full of food
While the women work.

Hi Lain - season's greetings and all that.

[Janine]

But the males won't budge
From occupying sofas;
Day of the big game.

[Janine]

While the women work,
The males won't budge -
Day of the big game!

I fixed it....

[Laindessiel]

The day of the big game.
So prop your pillows and lie.
You want to watch live?

Hello Uncle Whiff and Janine!!! Mucho http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/liebe/h015.gif .

[Poetess]

You want to watch live?
The day I cut myself,
For the way you hurt me?

[Janine]

For the way you hurt me?
You wish me to understand
Now who's the lost one?

[Poetess]

Now who`s the lost one?
For more I hate myself
Of what I become of you

[Laindessiel]

Of what I become of you
I've spoken Chinese, Russian.
Now, I sing F4!

[Whifflingpin]

Now I sing F4,
Whatsoever that may mean.
It's all Greek to me!

[Janine]

It's all Greek to me....
Embers find each other, then,
Enraptured, burn out.

[Poetess]

Enraptured, burn out.
A song is always a song
That makes me dance

[Whifflingpin]

That makes me dance
When "hate me" is no longer
Shown upon her arm

[Poetess]

Shown upon her arms
Shown within her beautiful soul
Running through cloudless skies

[ShoutGrace]

Running through cloudless skies
Tripping over shades of blue
Immersed in fractals.

[toni]

Immersed in fractals
Sierpinski triangles too
I'd rather dance w'dyou

Hello, Shouty. :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave:

[ShoutGrace]

:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: Hi toni. :D :banana:


I'd rather dance w'dyou :banana:
Though I have bone spurs and my
Moves are faltering.

[Janine]

Hi Waving and dancing Shout Grace...

Moves are faltering,
When I think of asking you
Hearts pump frightened blood.

[toni]

Moves are faltering
I cannot dip you no more
Arthritis and all

[ShoutGrace]

Hi Waving and dancing Shout Grace...

:D Hi Janine. :D

[toni]

Okay. messing up again... I'll just stay away from this Haiku.
Hello, Janine! :wave: :wave:

[Janine]

Hi Toni, stay....

I will fix.....

Hearts pump frightened blood.
I cannot dip you no more,
Arthritis and all...


See, that works! OK, Toni.....Hi ShoutG

[Misscaroline]

HI EVERYONE!!!!

Arthritis and all
Can really put a damper
On Xmas spirits

When in doubt Robin, get as close to the line as you can- take artistic license on the syllable count if it harries your perfect ku!

[Triskele]

on Xmas spirits
dangerous emotions there
fear euphoria

[brainstrain]

fear euphoria
catastrophe awaits you
in the dark'ning sky

had to do a bit of open-heart surgery on darkening to make it work...
hmm...a bit dark for me, inn't?

[Janine]

In the dark'ning sky
Blackbirds soar downward, earth calls,
Inky cloak of mist.

[Pendragon]

Inky cloak of mist—
Tentacles flashing swiftly—
Octopus leaves! :)

[zanna]

Octopus leaves
What the heck are those? I've heard
of leaves, but not that!

lol, pun. sorry pen.

[Susan Sonnen]

of leaves, but not that
Autumn willingly let go;
Winter proved stronger

[Laindessiel]

Winter proved stronger
Summer is warmer in May
But not in my heart.

[brainstrain]

But not in my heart
Do those sublte chimes ring true
For me, ring once more

I couldn't decide what the chimes in my hear were, so I decided to not bother telling you. They can represent anything you want ^_^

[Laindessiel]

Sweet. :)

For me ring once more
The bells of my soul on strike
For warmth of your love...

[Susan Sonnen]

for warmth of your love
I turn away from my home,
embrace the unknown

[Janine]

Embrace the unknown.
Travel in my mind's keen eye,
To vastness of thought.

[Pendragon]

To vastness of thought—
Intelligent men may turn,
To wise old women… http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/figuren/d060.gif http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/figuren/d020.gif

[Riesa]

to wise old women
young girls come seeking always
lyrics to moonlight

[B-Mental]

Lyrics to moonlight
Decadent lunar ballads
Drifting windwardly

[Susan Sonnen]

drifting windwardly
we float through the veins of life
not knowing our end

[ShoutGrace]

Not knowing our end
We blindly wallow in our
Human condition.

[Whifflingpin]

Human condition
striving for good, yet sinful
laughter among tears

[Virgil]

I haven't been in haiku in a while.

Laughter among tears
when your car kerplunks into
the icey river.

[Riesa]

:lol:

me neither, I decided I missed it.

the icy river
hides summer swimmer's secrets
a lost bikini

[Whifflingpin]

a lost bikini
never another tanline
just as intended

[Janine]

I love the train of thought on this page and how it shifts as it goes along. Some good haiku here, gang!

Just as intended,
I left the stark train behind,
Hard to say goodbye.

[Janine]

I did not even realise that was a pun. I just thought next of a train...how funny... Hi everyone, Hi Virgil and Riesa - we missed you, too!
