Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

[Pendragon]

in sherds on the sand,
tiny pieces of memory—
seven years bad luck…

[Susan Sonnen]

seven years bad luck_
that was a decade ago!
some things never change.

[Pensive]

Some things never change
Their appearance reminds us
Of old splendid days!

[Susan Sonnen]

of old splendid days
I sing with joy's merriment,
coins fall in my hat

[Janine]

Of our splendid days!
We treasure these times between
Memories' pages.

[Janine]

Of our splendid days!
We treasure these fine moments;
Coins fall in my hat.

[Janine]

did I fix that right?.......

[Whifflingpin]

Coins fall in my hat
I made three cherries line up
Did I fix that right?

[Janine]

Did I fix that right???
Whifflingpin, you're a
Jovial poet!

[Susan Sonnen]

jovial poet
lights lives where'ere he travels _
poems line his face

[Riesa]

poems line his face
metre in thin highways for
thoughts to travel 'crost.

[Janine]

Thoughts to travel 'crost
Global horizons of space;
Mind has no limit.

[zanna]

Mind has no limit,
therefore, willpower can win,
just don't give up yet.

[Janine]

Just don't give up yet,
With your faith, hope and courage
A life will be "lived".

[ktd222]

A life will be "lived".
Nay. I can't help it worry,
it is in my genes

[Janine]

It is in my genes -
Live true and be completed
By creating art.

[Laindessiel]

By creating art
You can create "artistic".
I live in Ghana.

[Whifflingpin]

I live in Ghana.
Sounds like a dim echo of
"Eyeless in Gaza"

[Pendragon]

eyeless in Gaza,
wandering for many days—
seeking solace there…

[Janine]

Seeking solace there…
In rivers of fluid thought,
The mind finds it's home.

[Triskele]

the man finds its home
sadly on the streets so cold
like hearts of warm souls

[zanna]

like hearts of warm souls,
her eyes held compassion in
their green and brown depths.

[Triskele]

their green and brown depths
where lies their self... infinity
to the end of green

[zanna]

to the end of green
earth they travelled together
never to part ways.

[Janine]

Never to part ways
Tall twin oaks, since seed cojoined
Stand stately and proud.

[zanna]

Stand stately and proud,
hold your head high and smile, don't
let them take your poise.

[Janine]

Let them take your poise?
Ignore those jealous of you;
Be steadfast, stand proud.

[Whifflingpin]

Be steadfast, stand proud
as cedars of Lebanon.
Yours is the vict'ry.

[Janine]

Yours is the vict'ry
Challenging days win to fate -
The glory is yours!

[Petrarch's Love]

The glory is yours!
A life of punished meekness
Now inheritance

[Susan Sonnen]

now inheritance,
those stories told by Granddad
worth more than rubies

[Virgil]

Worth more than rubies
Is the sweet love from your heart.
Let your eyes shine bright.

[Janine]

Hi Virgil - that was really pretty....ah


Let your eyes shine bright,
They reveal your inner light -
A world of true sight.

[Petrarch's Love]

A world of true light
Hidden in mundane conduits
To the Highest Word

[samercury]

To the Highest Word
Eternal, pure, far from reach
Shining rays of sun

[Virgil]

Very nice Same. I like that a lot.

Shining rays of sun
On the black driveway pavement.
Poor feet need slippers.

[Petrarch's Love]

Poor feet need slippers
Sits unshaven, hungry, cold
Empty cup waiting

[Janine]

Empty cup waiting;
Fresh tea steaming, silver pot -
Teatime in England.

[Susan Sonnen]

teatime in England,
he wonders if she still sings
as she pours Earl Grey

[ktd222]

as she pours Earl Grey
a bird hears the mating call
and swoops down to mate.

[Janine]

....and swoops down to mate.
butterflies in late summer;
cocoon's winter over.

[ktd222]

cocoon's winter over.
Sounds too poetic following
a silly image.

[Pendragon]

a silly image—
laughter often breaks sickness
when all else will fail…

[Adolescent09]

when all else will fail-
an untold passion strikes your breast
and makes your body float..

[white shadows]

and makes your body float,
above it all, sky and stars
dream of dreams to float

[white shadows]

burn and rage away
from this world's lost facade
grants us all to fade

[Janine]

Grants us all to fade
Into obscurity; gray
Numbs our broken hearts.

[Adolescent09]

number our broken hearts,
what lies within permeates,
our souls and ambitions dessimate,

[ktd222]

our souls dessimate
in face of the Holy Ghost,
our father the lord.

[Adolescent09]

our father the Lord.
takes things which we know little of
and improvises wonders, unknown to us

[ktd222]

Adolescent09,

the haiku has to be in a 5-7-5 syllable format

[ktd222]

and improvises
wonders, unknown to us -the
ones who sense with sense

[Janine]

ones who sense with sense
of our true being and selves
find reward in truth.

[ktd222]

find reward in truth
distorts the very fabric
of reality - Arghhh!

[Triskele]

of reality - Arghhh!
simple syllable count
changed not by the words

changed not by the words
the onomatopoeias
oof!, arghh, grrr! and ow!

hee hee

[Janine]

hee hee, yourself!

oof!, arghh, grrr! and ow!
The dogs will bark and the cats
Will run far away!

[Janine]

Will run far away
to exotic lands sweet with
seductive pursuits.

[Janine]

Seductive pursuits;
Exotic flesh ignites life
Sweet delicate spice.

[Janine]

Sweet delicate spice;
Life is full of pleasures, pain
Worth all we suffer.

[ktd222]

Worth all we suffer -
Only if the sufferings
are actual pleasures

[Adolescent09]

are actual pleasures,
not to be compromised
by ulterior whims

[ktd222]

by ulterior whims,
or ulterior motives, or
ulterior design

[Adolescent09]

ulterior design
culminates in avarice
dwindling hopes

[Riesa]

dwindling hopes catch on
a whispered secret and blossom
daintily as Spring

[Adolescent09]

daintily as spring
when His mighty finger
smudges white on blue

[Pendragon]

smudges white on blue,
red on nose and lips, black brows—
bow tie and overalls …

[Riesa]

bow tie and overalls
a confused look usually
reserved for strange men

[Rosalind_May]

Reserved for strange men
The table is laid proudly -
"Fetch the tartare sauce."

[Weeping Willow]

Fetch the tartare sauce
And boil some potatos
It is dinner time!

[brainstrain]

It is dinner time!
The oven timer just rang
Chicken and rice...mmm.

A true story ^_^

[Janine]

Chicken and rice...mmm.
Hot biscuits in the oven;
Mouth-watering treats!

[Virgil]

Mouth watering treats
for the pooch make her obey.
Sit, give me your paw.

[Riesa]

Sit, give me your paw,
I said, sit.... sit, SIT, SIT!!! SIT!!!!!!!!
I really hate Pugs.

[Virgil]

I really hate Pugs,
That little snarky devil.
Still he wags his tail.

[Riesa]

:lol:

Still he wags his tail,
goes on walks, gets hugged and kissed;
and still bites joggers.

[Janine]

And still bites joggers,
My cute little brown doggie;
Black cat is polite.

[Riesa]

Fetch the tartare sauce
And boil some potatos
It is dinner time!


willow!!!!

[Riesa]

Black cat is polite,
until locked up in a wall,
she'll out the murderer.

[The Bookinator]

Black cat is polite.
"Please give me some more tuna."
...No! Not the can kind!

[x894565256]

No! Not the can kind!
We shriek as another fam'ly
dinner starts chaos.

[Janine]

Dinner starts chaos.
Been that way since I was young;
loud and lively talk!

[Pendragon]

loud and lively talk!
someone pass me a cue stick!
spoiling for a fight!

[Janine]

Spoiling for a fight
Youth glared at each other,
Refrained, then they fled.

[The Bookinator]

Refrained, then they fled.
Two angry birds of color
unite when Cat comes

[The Bookinator]

"Unite when Cat comes!"
Cries the canine leader, Rex.
Flee, catnip lover!

[Il Penseroso]

Flee, catnip lover
the sod catalogues your moves,
and plots his next meal.

[Susan Sonnen]

and plots his next meal
eyeing gifts on the table
he maps in his mind

[Janine]

He maps in his mind,
Inventing discoveries;
freshly thought notions.

[Virgil]

Freshly thought notions
Send the flesh into spasms.
The mind doesn't work.

[Susan Sonnen]

the mind doesn't work
following Love's last display _
all systems shut down

[zanna]

all systems shut down
brain's checked out for the night, it's
finally friday. :)

[Janine]

Finally friday;
Weekend possibilities
Layed down to some chance.

[Janine]

Layed down to some chance
Random yet unknown to us
Twists divert our paths.

[Janine]

Twists divert our paths;
We recall not intentions
First set in the plan.

[Pendragon]

First set in the plan,
Was to take out the rulers—
Unlead, sheep follow…

[Whifflingpin]

Unled, sheep follow
Winding tracks on wild mountains.
They can; why can't we?

[Il Penseroso]

They can; why can't we,
play our puzzles in the wind,
be the leaves we see.

[Riesa]

:) purty.

be the leaves we see
compliant to the breeze which
lifts so easily

[Susan Sonnen]

lifts so easily
her heart from despair's cold grasp,
one ray of hope's strength

[Janine]

One ray of hope's strength,
May we find it in our depths;
Experience life.

[zanna]

Experience life
don't let it pass you by, but
enjoy all the thrills.

[Janine]

Enjoy all the thrills!
Ride the wild roller-coaster;
Breathless downhill plunge.

[pioussoul]

Breathless downhill plunge,
Back to the place we came from,
Where lies true blessings.

[Pendragon]

Where lies true blessings?
In giving or receiving?
What do you believe?

[Susan Sonnen]

what do you believe?
life's meaning comes down to this...
now you must decide.

[Janine]

Now you must decide -
Roads converge in a woodland,
Sounds like Robert Frost!

[Susan Sonnen]

sounds like Robert Frost
your love of Mother Nature...
birds and bees fly free

[Janine]

Birds and bees fly free,
Corn grows towards the sleepy sky,
Evening odors breathe.

[Susan Sonnen]

evening odors breathe
under amused, winking stars,
all Earth is alive

[Petrarch's Love]

All earth is alive
Made pregnant with rich damp, warmth
Of sun and rain joined.

[Janine]

Of sun and rain joined,
The buttercups in the field;
Dew drops in their hearts.

[Susan Sonnen]

dew drops in their hearts
faces lifted to the sun...
buttercups enchant

[Janine]

Buttercups enchant,
Bees that buzz nearby the stream,
Flowing water sings.

[Petrarch's Love]

Buttercups enchant
But dandeilion allure
Is slower growing.

[Reccura]

Is slower growing
Young minds teach and talk a lot
They see rays of light

[Pendragon]

They see rays of light,
They stretch out tender tendrils,
Plants worship the Sun…

[Petrarch's Love]

Plants worship the sun
Offering perfumed incense
'Til death bows them home.

[Adolescent09]

'Til death bows them home,
all souls ascend, destiny,
He sees and judges

[Janine]

Nice Haiku, Adol,

He sees and judges;
All about him submit to -
Infinite wisdom.

[Adolescent09]

Thanks

infitinite wisdom,
insurmountable courage,
his maxims obeyed,

[Janine]

You might want to revise - you spelled infinite wrong - I am a poor speller too but it looks like a typo. Nice Haiku though; I like it.

His maxims obeyed,
They bow to his majesty;
Henry Fifth does rule.

[Adolescent09]

Thanks for correcting me. Yes, it was a typo lol. (It's very challenging to write a good verse with a select number of syllables per line. That's why I like this.)

Henry fifth does rule,
a conquest beset within
a resistless fort

[Janine]

Glad your are back on the thread. Personally, I got addicted once I got the hang of it. At first I was all thumbs and did not do the syllable count correctly. Now it seems to come naturally. This thread is totally fun, and a good learning/thinking exercise.

A resistless fort -
Henry swells with noble plans,
Against all odds.


Sorry, big Henry V fan - love the film!

[Adolescent09]

against all odds
set right yet undone again
tranquility gone,

[Janine]

Tranquility gone,
Confusion ceased fate's hand; King's
Son a garden lost.

Still thinking on Henry V and his son Henry VI

Nice poem below your Haiku - did you write it? You are a "romantic", Adolescent09.

[Janine]

Son a garden lost,
Left home and never looked back;
Mother's heart forlorn.

[Janine]

Mother's heart forlorn;
Feeling sting of rejection,
She weeps all night long.

[Janine]

She weeps all night long,
Because no answer exists,
Crushed with emotion.

[Pendragon]

Crushed with emotion,
Heart of shattered splinters bleeds,
Boundless sorrow weeps…

[Pendragon]

Boundless sorrow weeps—
At the tomb of His dead friend—
“Lazarus, come forth!”

[Adolescent09]

(Yes I did, thanks.; my goal with that poem was to make it as short as possible but flow very smoothly. The rhythm of the poem makes it roll off your tongue in just a few seconds..)

"Lazarus, come forth!"
your omnipresent desire,
depleted, I condemn

[Susan Sonnen]

sorry...got in too late! and now I'm really confused...

[Pendragon]

my apologies...I did not mean to cut you off. :(

[Janine]

Depleted, I condemn
Those threatening sanity,
Ego anchors self.

[Janine]

(Yes I did, thanks.; my goal with that poem was to make it as short as possible but flow very smoothly. The rhythm of the poem makes it roll off your tongue in just a few seconds..)

"Lazarus, come forth!"
your omnipresent desire,
depleted, I condemn

Adolescent, why don't you post your lovely poem in the "share poem" thread? It would be nice to share it there. I think in here, it resembles a series of Haiku and it is confusing some people. I thought it was Haiku's at first, too; now I think Susan S thinks it is and does not know how to proceed with H thread lines.
The poem does flow nicely; I like how you described it to me. Janine

[brainstrain]

Ego Anchors Self
But the anchor sinks the boat
please don't drown yourself

[Janine]

Please don't drown yourself
Virginia Wolfe, such insight;
Worlds we can not know.

[zanna]

Worlds we can not know
what lies inside of his head?
I haven't a clue.

(I often seem to be clueless, don't I? Sensing a haiku trend here . . . hmmm. . . .)

[Riesa]

I haven't a clue
like scooby-doo slip-sliding
being chased by ghosts

[Janine]

Being chased by ghosts,
Gray myst floats by my window
Shutters in the night.

[Reccura]

Shutters in the night
Hide when the moon is out there
I rest beside you

[Riesa]

I rest beside you
in wavy summer grass, mouths
full of blueberries.

[Janine]

Full of blueberries,
Steaming pie crust ozzed out blue
Juice, sweet aroma.

[Laindessiel]

Boundless sorrow weeps—
At the tomb of His dead friend—
“Lazarus, come forth!”

That was brilliant, Uncle Pen! I had to actually count the syllables because it seemed impossible to put a dialogue in a haiku.

Juicy sweet aroma
The bees and flies surround it.
Shoo! Fools, go away!

Beautiful Janine! Hello!

[Janine]

juice, sweet aroma
of appricots and spices,
soon fills the glass with longing.

[Janine]

whoops, I was too slow - thought no one was out there this late . Hello beautiful - yourself, Lainy!

[Janine]

Haven't seen you lately to talk to.

Shoo! Fools, go away!
Women, we're the fools, 'cause we
Longing fills the cup.

well, Lain, I tried to fix it!

[Laindessiel]

It's nice, don't worry about it. It's 3:15 P.M. here now. (Although I worry about your last line...)

[Riesa]

hi guys. :wave:

Longing fills the glass
with moonlit drops of honey
and bitter lemon.

[ktd222]

and bitter lemon
made bitter hearts - This is
the days of our lives.

[Laindessiel]

That was nice, Riesa..

The days of our lives
Combat the war of the worlds
Deep within our hearts

[Janine]

So sorry, Lain, you are right - boy did I mess that one up big time. Forgive me, girls. Riesa, you did a good job fixing my last line, thanks. Can I change mine now? I will take it from your last line, Lain. It is 2:41 AM here:yawnb:

Deep within our hearts
Lies the core of our true souls
Hide from it we can't.

[Laindessiel]

The overused :" To err is human. Perfect is boring." It's okay Janine! ;)

Hide from it we can't
The tears,longing in my eyes
Tutti mi manchi (I miss you all)

[Janine]

Thanks, just tired and can never seem to fix them right when I post too slow.
Someone else has to take this one. I don't know what that means. Going to bed anyway...can't think now.....nite:wave:

[Laindessiel]

Goodnight Janine! The last line means "I miss you all" in Italiano. ;) I have to bail out now too. Zia Zeny is waiting for me... ;) Someone else will take over...

[Janine]

Good, have a nice day with Zia Zeny, whoever that is.

[ktd222]

Tutti mi manchi (I miss you all),
said the girl to her goats, as
the slaughterhouse loomed.

[Susan Sonnen]

the slaughterhouse loomed,
without a care, cattle moved
through the gate of death

[Pendragon]

That was brilliant, Uncle Pen! I had to actually count the syllables because it seemed impossible to put a dialogue in a haiku. Thank you, My Flower. I didn't think I could do it either! ;)


through the gate of Death,
the long dusty trail now over—
cattle become food…

[Adolescent09]

Thank you, My Flower. I didn't think I could do it either! ;)


through the gate of Death,
the long dusty trail now over—
cattle become food…

cattle became food,
irrigated corpses,
carcass for the crows

[ktd222]

carcass for the crows
to feed on. Steaks for me. The
veins for dental floss

[Janine]

Veins for dental floss
Of lost victims of these crimes,
Against humanity.


Awful thought...but could not do much with that last line...sorry

[ktd222]

Sorry is on my part, Janine. I've been in a state of morbidity lately.

[Janine]

Yes, I can see that....hey me, too...but try to cheer up.....

Against humanity,
Background of colorful life;
Nature soothes us all.

[Triskele]

nature soothes us all
in a cold embrace of life
the harsh winds do blow

[Janine]

The harsh winds do blow.
Winter, eventually,
Will give way to spring!

[ktd222]

Will give way to spring,
where we all die, for plants won't
photosynthesize

[Whifflingpin]

Photosynthesize!
absorb stifling gas, let light
give back breath and food

[Janine]

Give back breath and food,
To he who lies in streets;
Countless souls in need.

[Janine]

Countless souls in need
Of their isolation's end,
Come together here.

[amuse]

come together here -
the picu is where all sick
poems recover!

[zanna]

poems recover
power and beauty when shared
with your closest friend

[Janine]

with your closest friend
You can always be yourself;
Honest, free spirit.

[amuse]

honest, free spirit
this loyal hound i loved as
a pup dazzles me

[Pendragon]

a pup dazzles me,
friendly, free spirit—yet he
uplifts my sorrow…

[Susan Sonnen]

uplifts my sorrow
as a desert's coolest breeze_
he kisses my cheek

[Riesa]

He kisses my cheek
soft in sleep, nuzzling me out
of my lush dreaming

[Adolescent09]

of my lush dreaming,
blue on stocks forest abound,
beautiful springs

[Whifflingpin]

Beautiful springs
bubble softly through lilies.
Lotus blossoms dream.

[Janine]

Beautiful springs,
From earth, fast flowing water;
Waterfall's rainbows.

[Janine]

Oops sorry...too slow - fixed it


Lotus blossoms dream,
From earth, fast flowing water;
Waterfall's rainbows.

[ktd222]

Waterfall's rainbows.
Ah, I remember that place -
the double suicide

[Janine]

The double suicide;
Together they go to meet
The great unknown realm.

[Triskele]

the great unknown realm
where souls do meet their old foes
and forgiveness reigns

[Janine]

Nice thought, Triskele.

and forgiveness reigns
When hearts peel off the layer of
bitter resentment.

[brainstrain]

bitter resentment
too often can rule a life
forgive and forget

Heh, that worked out quite well. I do believe i'm getting the hang of this!

[lit_lover]

Forgive and Forget
The Reciprocals of time
We cherished so dearly

[Janine]

welcome lit lover to Haiku, I haven't seen you on here before this. Nice Haiku!

We cherished so dearly,
Holding deep within our hearts,
Forever, unchanged.

[ktd222]

Forever, unchanged.
Rotting away into pulps
of fertilizer.

[Janine]

Of fertilizer,
We plan garden's 'wakening,
Lush luminous blooms!

[Reccura]

Lush luminous blooms!
beautiful flowers smile
when the sun rises

[Janine]

When the sun rises
I sleep on, now reluctant
To face a new day.

[benjidog]

To face a new day
Joining good natured deaths smile
To eternity

[Laindessiel]

Photosynthesize!
absorb stifling gas, let light
give back breath and food

Same thoughts I give to you, Uncle Whiff! Great brilliant haiku!


Thank you, My Flower. I didn't think I could do it either! ;)

With my Uncie Pen? Nothing seems impossibleh!


When the sun rises
I sleep on, now reluctant
To face a new day.

To face a new day
My hair seems to grow forwards
Along with my mind...

[Laindessiel]

Benjidog, oh man! ;) Okay, Janine will take it from yours...

Benj, congrats on your first post!

[ktd222]

Along with my mind,
other selves, we argue til
madness overwhelms.

[Pendragon]

madness overwhelms,
but if madness then this be—
purpose lies therein…

[Janine]

Purpose lies therein…
Within our every life breath;
Creativity!

[TwiztidKarma]

Creativity,
Holds my inner enemy,
Forever a thought ,

[Janine]

Welcome TwiztidKarma - interestig name. Nice first (?) Haiku

Forever a thought,
Silent dream of you and me
Sealed in memory.

[zanna]

Sealed in memory
I refuse to forget
that special moment

[Janine]

That special moment,
You first spoke to me, and I,
Stood spellbound in time.

[amuse]

stood spellbound in time
that moment when i found them
dangling from the beams

[Riesa]

dangling from the beams
in lurid exhibition
the end of belief

[amuse]

the end of belief:
when ridiculosities
abound unnoticed

[Janine]

Abound unnoticed,
Numerous tiny insects -
Ants building sand homes.

[Virgil]

Ants building sand homes,
See how they run to mother.
What do they live on?

[Petrarch's Love]

What do they live on?
On what substance do they feed?
They, the unreal ones.

[Susan Sonnen]

they, the unreal ones,
pillage the minds of poets_
melancholia

[zanna]

melancholia
such bittersweet emotions
often overwhelm.

And Janine, what a great follow up! Pretty much the kind of moment I was thinking about! *gets misty-eyed* It was an amazing one. :)

[TwiztidKarma]

Often Overwhelm,
Cradeld in the sands of time,
To restart the ryme,

[zanna]

to restart the ryme (rhyme, twizt?)
just give me a little time
and bring me a lime.

[benjidog]

and bring me a lime
to put in my ice and drink
sitting here with smiles

[Pendragon]

sitting here with smiles—
hiding behind masquerades—
play incognito… :cool:

[Susan Sonnen]

sorry...just pretend I wasn't here...isn't there a delete button??

back to Pendragon....

sitting here with smiles—
hiding behind masquerades—
play incognito…

Reclusive favor
Is what I often desire,
Leave me to myself.

[Riesa]

leave me to myself;
I'll ponder the sun's glinting
gift to the water

[benjidog]

gift to the water
titanic in the cold blue
silent among fishes

[amuse]

silent among fishes
ghost eels: their hallmarks tiny
zaps and candlelight

[Janine]

zaps and candlelight
silent mists fly past doorways
window frames full moon

[amuse]

window frames full moon
light illuminates her she
discards grievous shrouds

[Whifflingpin]

Discards grievous shrouds
dons garments of festivals
spangles grass with stars

[Janine]

Whiff, love that Haiku - especially last line!

Spangles grass with stars,
Full moon casting on the lawn,
Such heavenly light.

[benjidog]

Such heavenly light
Wind blows breeze across lawn
snowflakes swirling soft

[Janine]

snowflakes swirling soft
in the frozen tundra, we
brace from fury's blow.

[amuse]

brace from fury's blow
she felled mountains whilst sparring
with big sis today

[TwiztidKarma]

With big sis today,
Running away with my thoughts,
today I shan't rot.

place it somewhere nice and cool
away from the cat

[Virgil]

Hi Same. Nice haiku.

Away from the cat
the poor dog licks his scratches.
He'll bark when cat mews.

[Janine]

Hi Virgil, humm, was "cat mews" from Hamlet?.."the cat will mew, the dog will have his day....

He'll bark when cat mews,
Then try to daunt the feline
Under chair cat hides.

[samercury]

Under chair cat hides.
Patience is the golden key
To future glory

[Janine]

To future glory,
May they raise the bloody flag,
Many lives gone, lost.

[ktd222]

Many lives gone, lost
to the deed doer, which, in turn,
will be deeded too.

[Janine]

Will be deeded, too
With judgement's revealing light;
Justice in truth reigns.

[Laindessiel]

Justice in truth reigns
When policies and rules are
Raking time for time

[Outlander]

Raking time for time
Observes blind the blowing wind
White flakes cool decay

[Pendragon]

white flakes cool decay—
snowfall closed schools today—
I hopefully make it…

[TwiztidKarma]

I hopefully make it,
Through tears of sorrow and joy,
Four centuries last,

[Misscaroline]

Four centuries last
Still we stand homogenous
Assimilation :p

Hi....

[Janine]

Assimilation -
All mankind in one body
Earth, "human beings"

Earth, "human beings"
Where's the fun in that without
our dearest martians?

Hi Janine! :wave: Haven't seen you in awhile....

[TwiztidKarma]

Our dearest martians?
Could they learn our simple pain?
One cant tell, but look.

[Misscaroline]

One can't tell, but look--
Perhaps the butterfly's wings
Will cause tsunamis.

[Janine]

Will cause tsunamis,
Earthquakes splitting planet's crust;
Is this world ending?

[Susan Sonnen]

is this world ending
or am I simply dying...
a raven watches

[Janine]

A raven watches,
Doves peacefully cuddle on roof;
Agression subdued.

[amuse]

Agression subdued
a small kernel pops: listen!
his heart's opening!

[TwiztidKarma]

His heart's opening!
But inside we found nothing,
We froze in silence!
