whispered Autumn as she left;
Winter stormed right in

ripping the summer screens in
its frigid slamming

[Virgil]

Its frigid slamming
Makes the sweet rhythm rock cold.
Blues guitar makes swing.

[Riesa]

Chet's trumpet slices blue-notes,
a precise surgeon

[Virgil]

A precise surgeon
cut off my leg yesterday.
Now they call me peg.

Slip doing a split? :lol:

Is how some people err, true
I'll hold your leg, please.

[Whifflingpin]

I'll hold your leg, please,
Kiss gently behind your knee;
Delicate hollow

[Riesa]

delicate hollow
wisp of a word: air. days spent
breathing in rhythm

Wow, Riesa, that was good!

Breathing in rhythm
And dancing in slow motion.

For I've been locked up too long.

Swims in lost prejudices.
Hyped up by swindling.

Hello and welcome Hangedman! :wave:

[thehangedman]

Hyped up by swindling,
Consumed by careless deceit,
Liars die alone.

Hello to you Lain. (wow that's a lot of posts for a month ;) )

[Poetess]

Hyped up by swindling
Carried up with erroneous views
And put down by truth

[Laindessiel]

People here are very nice, Hang. And smart. They inspire me to write. ;)

And put down by truth
Goodness reigns. Not by Hitler.
He wrote Mein Kampf, duh.

[zanna]

He wrote Mein Kampf, duh.
You didn't know it was him?
You ignorant fool.

Hang, cool to meet you. Keep Haikuing. :)

[Whifflingpin]

You ignorant fool
Who know not whence comes the wind
nor whither it goes.

[zanna]

Nor whither it goes,
over thither and yon, but
I look everywhere.

[thehangedman]

I look everywhere,
And still I have not found you.
I am fortune's fool.

Nice to meet you too Zanna :)

[Whifflingpin]

I am fortune's fool
If you are fortune's fool, then
Fortune has two fools

[samercury]

Fortune has two fools
Each more foolish than the next.

like the flapping black banners
of the khans army

[zanna]

they were terrified always
is this our last day?

[Janine]

Is this our last day?
The end could be nearer than
Thinking could predict.

[Pendragon]

Thinking could predict
The end of all life on Earth—
Scary, is it not?

[Laindessiel]

Scary, is it not?
There come the ghosts! Run and hide!
And from behind: BOO.

[zanna]

And from behind: BOO.
my brother's at it again.
no rest for weary.

[Laindessiel]

No rest for weary
Go home, got slippers, then eat.
No rest for wary.

no rest for wary
always looking around the
corner of my life.

[Laindessiel]

Corner of my life
Depends on the edges of
Fragileness of me.

pussy cat purrs at my feet
far things are fearful

Far things are fearful
Tangible things are cowards.
Please pass the courage

[zanna]

please pass the courage
I, just like the lion, don't
have bravery now.

[thehangedman]

Have bravery now,
My abled-bodied soldier.
Death should fear your hand.

[Neo_Sephiroth]

Have bravery now
Fight for what you believe in
End with no regrets.

[zanna]

End with no regrets,
Live each day to the fullest

My fungus is safely stored
Inside my old sock.

[Whifflingpin]

Inside my old sock
lie many golden guineas.
Banks are not for me.

[ShoutGrace]

Banks are not for me
I prefer to knock over
Gas stations and stores.

[Janine]

Gas stations and stores
Taint the roads with ugliness.
Crave open space.

[Virgil]

Hi Janine.


Crave open spaces
To run and howl with the pack.
Dinner was a mouse.

[ShoutGrace]

Dinner with a mouse
Add a little salt and then
Slice that rodent up.

[Janine]

Slice that rodent up
Anticipating grotesque,
Stew meat's delicious!

[Virgil]

Stew meat's delicious
with lots of fresh rosemary.
Salt is still needed.

[ktd222]

Salt is still needed,
just in case a wound occurs -
due to the hot stew.

[toni]

Due to the hot stew
Hands are blistered,and callused
Sliced carrots and meat

[Silv]

Sliced carrots and meat
Pouring piping hot gravy
Over the stewed rat

[ShoutGrace]

Over the stewed rat
The victorious mother
Cackles with delight.

[Pendragon]

Cackles with delight—
Tricky auld green ugly witch—
Heating up the oven!

[Laindessiel]

Heating up the oven
'Til your gloves burn up the turk.
Rub it with spices.

[Whifflingpin]

Rub it with spices
Soak it in natron and myrrh
Bind and entomb it.

[B-Mental]

Bind and entomb it
decorate it with a sock
hope wart goes away

[Virgil]

Cackles with delight—
Tricky auld green ugly witch—
Heating up the oven!

Hey that's a great one Pen!! One of the best.


Hope wart goes away
with new super duper cream.
Witchy woman not.

[Petrarch's Love]

Witchy woman not
Bad as she's made out to be
Curse misunderstood.

[zanna]

Curse, misunderstood
I never can articulate
myself! Like right now!

[Janine]

Myself! Like right now!
Befuddled as usual -
Which way to go next?

[Virgil]

Which way do we go next?
The new year is like a sea,
Vast, wide, and breezy.

[Janine]

and so it is indeed.... and a new adventure for all of us!

Vast, wide, and breezy,
Oceans beckoned me, foam capped waves
Swept my soul to sea.

[ktd222]

Swept my soul to sea...
into the measured depths, ah,
seamless seasons be...

[P. M. Manmohan]

Seamless seasons be
The end of black cold night sky
O my sweet little thing

[P. M. Manmohan]

O my sweet little thing,
how big have you grown ! Stop ! Then,
there's no one on your side !!!..

[Pendragon]

No one on your side?
You and me take on them all!
Can’t take us both! http://www.websmileys.com/sm/fam/fam05.gif

[Misscaroline]

Can't take us both
Lovely sadness, hid'ous joy
Which one do you want?

((I've been away too long again...:bawling:))

[zanna]

Which one do you want?
I thought you liked me better
than that! Fine, I'm gone.

[Misscaroline]

...Than that? Fine, I'm gone--
The orange and turkey will
Take me to the bar....

((This is a drunkard on New Year's, supposedly.... not really supposed to make sense....))

[zanna]

Take me to the bar . . .
and bring on the buttermilk!
I can't stand much else. :)

[Misscaroline]

I can't stand much else
The carolers kicked my door
Sister sings off key

[zanna]

Sister sings off key
Where's the cotton when you need
it . . . ah, much better.

[Misscaroline]

...It, ah, much better.
Let's blow this popsicle stand!
The turkey will drive...

((Still drunkards....wait, what was that buttermilk thing about???:confused:))

[zanna]

The turkey will drive
you crazy, man! Don't listen
to him, he is foul. (fowl)

The buttermilk thing comes from the old Dukes of Hazzard show . . . Enos would never drink, so he always asked Daisy for a frosted mug of buttermilk. :)

[Misscaroline]

To him, he is foul
But to me he is wondrous
How can he be crude?

[zanna]

How can he be crude?
What happened to Prince Charming?
I thought I knew him.

[Misscaroline]

I thought I knew him
Unnoticed the limbs lopped off
Bloody slipper fits

((Old Cinderella, if you don't get the reference...))

[zanna]

Bloody slipper fits
finally! Thought I'd never
get it on again.

[Misscaroline]

Get it on again
Don't know what you were thinking
Gonna make it fit...

[zanna]

Gonna make it fit
if it takes all day and night!
but, it's only 'ku.

[Misscaroline]

But it's only ku
It need not be perfect, dear
One line could be six!!!!

[zanna]

One line could be six,
she says. Sheese, what is this world
coming to? Don't know . . .

[Misscaroline]

Coming to? Don't know....
Perhaps ask for directions
Orange is sober

((I seem to like these drunkards...))

[Janine]

Orange is sober,
The sunset and "Horizon -
Lily" in closing.

[Janine]

Lily in closing
Makes gentle music fragile
To impending night.

[Janine]

To impending night,
Foam clouds hide in silk gray mist,
Fog moistens my breasts.

[Janine]

Fog moistens my breasts,
Drops refect rosey petals,
Night sweetens our love.

[Janine]

Night sweetens our love;
Tomorrow hope may recall
Promises we've made.

[Janine]

Promises we've made
May be as paper, consumed,
Burnt, inks melted, ash.

[Janine]

Burnt, inks melted, ash -
All dreams comsumed in nothing,
My hopes, scattered wind!

[ShoutGrace]

My hopes, scattered wind!
What I thought I'd try to be
Laughing in my face.

[zanna]

Laughing in my face
they told of my worst moment
you weren't s'posta hear.

[Whifflingpin]

You weren't s'ppos'd ta hear
Those words of admiration.
Don't get big-headed.

[Pendragon]

Don't get big-headed—
Everyone gets lucky sometime—
Think you’re special?

[RobinHood3000]

Think you're special?
You have no idea, do you?
My one and only. :blush:

[Whifflingpin]

My one and only
hairbrush lies on that brown book.
Why should I need more?

[brainstrain]

Why should I need more?
'Cause I never had enough
Learn to be frugal

...uh oh. I can't quite remember what frugal means. Please someone tell me if I'm using it incorrectly =D

[Il Penseroso]

A polite way of saying cheap. Or thrifty.


Learn to be frugal,
eat sawdust and claw garbage
to survive today.

[brainstrain]

Oh, not exactly what I was going for. But it works ^_^

To survive today
I must look to tomorrow,
and never forget

[Pensive]

And never forget
The way she giggled at you
When you lost the match

[Whifflingpin]

When you lost the match
You could not light the oven.
No fish for supper.

[Riesa]

No fish for supper
Hawaiian sling was stolen
by angry mermaids.

[brainstrain]

by angry mermaids
by a calm and tranquil sea
I sit happily

[brainstrain]

I sit happily
for once in this forlorn life,
peace belongs to me

[Pensive]

Peace belongs to me
They can not play with weapons
Weapons lay astray!

[Whifflingpin]

Weapons lay astray?
That's a court martial offence!
Lock him up at once.

[Il Penseroso]

Lock him up at once,
morbid stones thrown in streetways
mark the man unfit.

[Pendragon]

Mark the man unfit
Who would trade love for duty—
And mark him absent… http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/love/kotc.gif

[Whifflingpin]

And mark him absent,
Erase his name from all scrolls,
Let him not have lived.

[Misscaroline]

Let him not have lived.
I cannot tolerate your
Existence. Be gone!

[Whifflingpin]

Existence begone!
Come forth the dark and empty
spaces of my soul.

[Misscaroline]

Spaces of my soul
Fill with the radiant light
Beloved sun beams

gotta go, loves!!! :bawling:

[Janine]

Very pretty Missc!

Beloved sun beams,
Upon my welcome skin, quenching
My quest for the light.

[Whifflingpin]

My quest for the light;
Good thought, good word, good action,
spake Zarathustra

[Pendragon]

Spake Zarathustra
Friedrich Nietzsche’s handwork—
Philosophy rules!

[Janine]

Philosophy rules
The universe of like minds;
Mine hungers for more.

[Pendragon]

Mine hungers for more—
More of your love freely given—
To warm me at night… http://smilies.vidahost.com/otn/love/malelovies.gif

[Whifflingpin]

To warm me at night
Hot milk, an egg and sherry,
a well spiced posset.

[Arania]

A well spiced posset
Is limp on my tabletop
I can only look.

[dramasnot6]

I can only look
Forever fogging the glass
Reading silent lips

[B-Mental]

Reading silent lips
knowledge attenuated
On a foggy eve

[Janine]

On a foggy eve,
We find solace in shadows;
Spirit trees stand still.

[Janine]

Spirit trees stand still...
Mossy wood pale green with mist,
Drops that mirror night.

[amuse]

drops that mirror knight
heroes despair as bad luck
vies with maid's rescue



*apologies for tweaking the alliteration ;)

[Janine]

very nice amuse!

Vies with maid's rescue,
Handsome warrior, noble cause
Tharted by evil.

[zanna]

th'arted by evil,
good causes struggle to live,
but there is still hope.

[Il Penseroso]

But there is still hope,
time for the ragged red breast
to claim salvation.

[Whifflingpin]

To claim salvation
All you have to do is die
In the one true faith.

[Pendragon]

In the one true faith—
Why do then people argue,
Over who is right?

[Pensive]

Over who is right
There is a very big fight
They all are quite wrong

[Laindessiel]

They are all quite wrong
With calamities spreading
Why don't we all care?

[Whifflingpin]

Why don't we all care?
Who then would we all care for?
Some are receivers.

[Pendragon]

Some are receivers—
Some are more like broadcasters—
Makes static mostly… :(

[B-Mental]

Makes static mostly
Broken dials spinning freely
random solid gold

[zanna]

random solid gold
everywhere - it must have
been Midas' touch.

[Pendragon]

been Midas' touch,
more carefully bestowed—
good might come of it

[Janine]

Good might come of it,
If we take the fault, turn it
To our advantage.

[Janine]

To our advantage,
We seek wisdom from great books;
Time for refection.

[Janine]

Time for refection.
To know who we've been before,
Contemplate past lives.

[Janine]

Contemplate past lives;
Reincarnate eyes look back
To endless vistas.

[Janine]

To endless vistas
Stars rest in bright unison,
Two moons slowly rise.

[Janine]

Two moons slowly rise
Above strange remote planets;
Life questionable?

[ktd222]

Life questionable?
"Yes, only on satellites,
for ice prevents life."

[Whifflingpin]

For ice prevents life;
Yet without ice seas dry up
Ice enables life.

[alhara]

burn the rage away
letters are illuminated
paper curls smiling

[Pendragon]

paper curls smiling,
painted dimples showing now—
the new doll bows low…

[Pendragon]

The new doll bows low,
Offers crumpets on tray—
One lump or two, dear?

[Pendragon]

“One lump or two, dear?”
Said Punch to partner Judy—
Stick raised to strike!

[ktd222]

Stick raised to strike!
Then Judy phoned the police,
knowing Punch was one.

[brainstrain]

Alhara ignored Whifflingpin, so I'm restarting the chain properly ^_^

Ice enables life
Fire forever melts the ice
does fire prevent life?

[Janine]

Does fire prevent life?
Deep forests of lush undergrowth
Hide gems of fresh seed.

[Whifflingpin]

Hide gems of fresh seed
In the cornfields of your mind
Rich harvests later.

[Pendragon]

“Rich harvests later!”
Was Jack Sparrow’s promise—
Dodging Davey Jones…

(Apologies Wiff for not noticing the break in the chain!)

[Janine]

Pen, what do you mean by "the break in the chain"?

Dodging Davey Jones…
Pirate arms throw wild punches,
Meanwhile rebel flees!

[Whifflingpin]

Meanwhile rebel flees!
But his red shirt and black plume,
They will rise again!

[Janine]

They will rise again
From the smoldering ashes;
Saplings bud and breathe.

[Arania]

Saplings bud and breathe
The sweet air of morning dew
Blowing colored glass.

[B-Mental]

Blowing colored glass
transported by the ocean
wades upon my shore

[Janine]

Wades upon my shore -
Seas that echo solitude,
Footprints wet with sand.

[Laindessiel]

Footprints wet with sand
I write my heart on his hand.
Coping with the loss.

[Janine]

Coping with the loss,
I find a way to survive,
More than that - to live!

[Janine]

Hi Lain, & unfortunately - bye - I am going to bed! It is after 2AM here and I am tired out. Hope I see you around tomorrow. I have missed you....J

[Laindessiel]

Awww.. I have missed you too, Janine! Our Internet is still out and I'm just here at a computer cafe. I can't even access all websites. :( I hope to be back by tomorrow.

[ktd222]

More than that - to live!
That is when gambling and I
fell madly in love

[Janine]

Lain, I can only stay a minute to answer what you have written. Now it is 4:00Am...I have been reading, but now I was falling asleep. So glad to hear you missed me, too. It has seemed really empty and quiet on this site the past week. As for the internet services, I had the same problem here the other day that you are having....strange. I had to go to my library, which has computers; thank heaven for that! I could not get my emails to function and then Lit Net stopped working for me correctly. Wonder what is going on with the net these days? Have to go to bed now for certain. Talk to you tomorrow hopefully. Hope your service is fully restored soon..... Janine

[Janine]

Fell madly in love
with a man who couldn't return
his heart to me.

[Pendragon]

Janie, it was between #6902 qne #6903. The next poster didn't follow Wiff's last line, and broke the chain. Brainstrain went back and fixed it. Pen.

his heart to me,
he freely said he would give—
with no strings attached

[Triskele]

with no strings attached
we depart to that grey land
to be lost in thought

[Riesa]

to be lost in thought
tangled in the tips of trees
like broken kite strings

[brainstrain]

Like broken kite strings
shattered dreams fly towards the stars
searching for a home

[Whifflingpin]

Searching for a home
Refugees lurk in hotels
Avoiding police.

[Triskele]

avoiding police
their shifty eyed glare of hate
brings crime from shadow

[Misscaroline]

Brings crime from shadow
I swear I didn't do it!
Flashlight in your eyes

((It's been too long....:zombie::))

[Whifflingpin]

Flashlight in your eyes,
You thank all your supporters.
The great prize is yours

[Janine]

The great prize is yours;
The sport was fairly played out -
This grand game of life.

[Riesa]

this grand game of life,
manipulate rules to suit
the board being played

[Triskele]

Brings crime from shadow
I swear I didn't do it!
Flashlight in your eyes

((It's been too long....:zombie::))

zombie? who/what is that, sorry, just curious

[amuse]

the board being played,
splayed, tested - can it bear all
these olympians?


*i mean, i know it's a year early, but i love the divers! :)

[Pendragon]

these Olympians—
the Gods themselves up on high—
do they care for us ?

[Whifflingpin]

do they care for us
when they are fledged and nest-free?
What are we for then?

[Janine]

What are we for then?
To breathe and to live, then die
Life purpose -"to be".

[kilted exile]

Life purpose - "to be"
Though more time is spent thinking
Rather than being

[Janine]

Rather than being
Saddened by your life's losses,
Dwell on it's blessings.

[Susan Sonnen]

dwell on life's blessings,
they far outshine any loss!
sally forth in faith

[Janine]

Sally forth in faith,
That tomorrow will be grand;
Gaze on new vistas!

[Laindessiel]

Lain, I can only stay a minute to answer what you have written. Now it is 4:00Am...I have been reading, but now I was falling asleep. So glad to hear you missed me, too.

Oh, where do you live? In Asia, some telecom companies are still trying to restore the Internet to working perfectly (the Taiwan quake is the cause.) As for us, Internet cafes are saviours. ;) And thankfully, we can have access to LitNet.

[Laindessiel]

Gaze on new vistas
Sitting, staring on the sill
Watching the birds fly...

[Pendragon]

Watching the birds fly—
Light wings lift into the sky,
Riding on the breeze…

[Weeping Willow]

Riding on the breeze
As I escaped from Chile
To Argentina

[SnámhDáÉan]

To Argentina!
First class seats are far too hard.
Give me poverty!

[QUOTE=SnámhDáÉan;274812]
So hard to follow
Is there anything at all
Dearest Finnegan?

I like your style which I just started reading as it makes me think. I look forward to reading more. As to the above, and everyone sees something diffeent, but what I see, and perhaps I am wrong, is a reference to Joyce and Finnegan's Wake?

Best,

Jack

[ktd222]

Give me poverty!
Or give me some food because
I'm without a job.

[Virgil]

I'm without a job
So I have to hold up banks.
Pistol in pocket.

[Riesa]

Pistol in pocket

Point it, silly.

Pistol in pocket.
Too bad it's a toy pistol.
Verdict: five to life.

[ktd222]

Point it, silly.
I do not think wolves have thumbs.
Better yet, growl loud

[Virgil]

Better yet, growl loud
to scare away the rif raff.
Show teeth if afraid.

Hey ktd, I replied to your comment in my blog.

[ktd222]

Show teeth if afraid.
Show your baby picture if
embarassed. Then go...!

Yes, it's always good to get into the mind and hear a poets thoughts
Darn excellent poem by the way...like you didn't already know.

[Riesa]

embarassed? then go
watch old home videos of
highschool gymnastics.

[Janine]

Highschool gymnastics,
Quickly made it up the rope,
Starring down, fear grips.

[dramasnot6]

Staring down, fear grips
jagged rocks. Handle of a
natural dagger

[ktd222]

natural dagger
sounds so quaint, and yet is a
sign so ominous

[Pendragon]

sign so ominous
footprints in new fallen snow—
a cougar is around…

[B-Mental]

a cougar is around
warn your children and elders
everyone wary

[Susan Sonnen]

everyone wary
as Earth loses her footing,
but no one assists

[ktd222]

because Earth doesn't have feet.

[B-Mental]

So I wait for Mike
The 'I wanna be like Mike'
Rich, handsome, retired

[ktd222]

Rich, handsome, retired -
is the description for those

[amuse]

***love your location, Pendragon!***


to whom i envy:
sod off! to those i adore:
...you gladden my life.

[Janine]

...you gladden my life;
the essense of your being
rejoices in my soul.

[amuse]

rejoices in my soul
where dark, gruesome voices once
languidly hovered

[Whifflingpin]

languidly hovered
dragonflies over water
verdant with lilies.

[Pendragon]

verdant with lilies,
the ancient pond still lovely—
great blue heron rules…


http://www.naturaltapestries.com/Michaelgallery/animals/images/Great%20Blue%20Heron.jpg

[ktd222]

quite a majestic looking heron, Pen.

great blue heron rules…
but not as much as great blue
whales rule...blup, blup, blup

http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Canopy/8484/bluewhale6.jpg

"whales rule blup, blup, blup"
what kind of a line is that?
Don't you just love them?

[brainstrain]

Don't you just love them?
Loving, Caring, Meddling, But
Annoying...Parents

[Janine]

Annoying...parents
And time never changes that,
Must try our patience!

[ktd222]

Must try our patience
by nagging about smoking
pot in the bedroom.

[B-Mental]

pot in the bedroom
like sleeping in a snowbank
unwise to repeat

[ktd222]

unwise to repeat;
but yet, rinse and repeat is
such fun excercise.

[Janine]

Such fun excercise,
Skating on a glassy pond-
Ice streaks paint motion.

[ktd222]

Ice streaks paint motion
to where your tracks dissappear
below the thin ice

[Pendragon]

below the thin ice,
captured like fish under glass—

In white ones as well

in white ones as well
purity in color lasts
only till the change

[Janine]

Only till the change,
Of seasons in the windy
City of our dreams.

[Riesa]

City of our dreams,
vines coil and climb misty
walls crumbling with age

[Virgil]

Walls crumblin with age
Along the upper west side.
Lazy sh*tty life.

[Janine]

Hi Virgil, Now that is a show stopper....gee what I can I do with this one.....

Lazy sh*tty life.
Drunk on a Saturday night,
Alone, dejected.

[Virgil]

Hi Janine. I see you handled it.

Alone, dejected
One returns home to dinner.
Mama's meals are good.

[Janine]

Yeah, Virg, I was going to change the vowel but nothing would work. I was thinking shotty but it is spelled shoddy...wanted to make you laugh if I changed it some.:lol:

Mama's meals are good;
Five star***** establishments rate,
But Ma serves us love!

[Virgil]

But Ma serves us love
While swivels to the music.
Kitchen always loud.

[Il Penseroso]

But ma serves us love,
baskets filled with softest bread
leaking faded warmth.

[Il Penseroso]

Kitchen always loud,
reflected scenes, broken homes
leaking faded warmth.

[Janine]

Leaking faded warmth,
Rain gutters spill summer heat;
Drizzle of days spent.

[Reccura]

Drizzle of days are spent
when she lost him forever,
she wept and she died.

that was the worst haiku I've ever seen

[Janine]

She wept and she died.
Her soul, so young and fine, flung
Arrows in my heart.

[Pensive]

Arrows in my heart
Piercing me very cruelly
I feel quite broken

[Whifflingpin]

I feel quite broken;
amphora of life's red wine
in sherds on the sand.
