Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

[Bluemauvey]

Fact, that one star stands
Like a reed in fickle breeze
Bending towards fame

[Pendragon]

Bending towards fame—
Tantalizing gold apple—
Hangs just out of reach…

[ktd222]

Hangs just out of reach…
I reach for a lower limb
for unripened fruits

[Susan Sonnen]

For unripened fruits
of love require patient faith;
he watches her leave.

[autolycus]

he watches her leave
then the blossoms have their day
he leaves her fruitful

[Bluemauvey]

He leaves her Fruitful
Her favourite cereal
She eats the whole box

[Il Penseroso]

She eats the whole box,
and lifts a can to tip more,
mouth-corner dripping.

[Janine]

Mouth-corner dripping,
Ravenous child, arm stretches
Towards Ma's warm cookies.

[Il Penseroso]

Towards Ma's warm cookies,
a kitten scrawls brail and prints
her pad undesigned.

[Bluemauvey]

Her pad undesigned
The hippy chick strolls the rooms
Looking for a Door

[Janine]

Looking for a door
To who knows where it may lead;
That's the fun, Alice.

[Petrarch's Love]

That's the fun, Alice,
To get anything you want
At your restaurant

[Janine]

At your restaurant -
Free food, order anything;
It belongs to you!

[Bluemauvey]

It belongs to you
Whether you wear it or knot
The family tie

[vin1391]

The Family tie
Stripped, bright and gold yellow,
On top of the shirt.

[Bluemauvey]

On top of the shirt
The creases, canyons of cloth
Stretch before the louse

[Pendragon]

Stretch before the louse
Is twenty-five years to life—
Hello Alcatraz!

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/jailed.gif

[Janine]

Hello Alcatraz!
Crumbling walls re-echoing,
Hours of living dead.

[Il Penseroso]

Hours of living dead
no recess and sopping bread,
full measuring cups.


The last line's a reference to an Andrew Bird song.

[Janine]

Full measuring cups,
Grandma's print apron pockets,
Cookie love, age 5.

[Bluemauvey]

Cookie Love, age 5
Seeks similar for sand pit
Battles and cat naps

[Janine]

Battles and cat naps,
Paper hats and cardboard swords;
Aventures paint dreams.

[Adolescent09]

adventures paint dreams
the adept artists paint streams,
art is great it seems,

[Janine]

art is great it seems,
well, no, surely great in my eyes,
all great blessings gained.

[toni]

All great blessings gained
Like flapping of wings in June
Heart folding ribbons

[dramasnot6]

awww that was beautiful toni

Heart folding ribbons
Wearing romanticism
As a sunken dream

[toni]

Aww... your alien is >>>:blush::blush: Thank you!
Yours is brilliantly written, as usual!


As a sunken dream,
I wither with chapping lids,
Drinking-pot of Ink.

[Pendragon]

Drinking-pot of ink—
The anxious quill so thirsty—
Words dance across paper…

:wave: Hi Toni, my Warrior Lady! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/musketeer.gif

[Misscaroline]

Words dance across paper
I've been writing for too long
Should I get some sleep?

(Hi...)

[Susan Sonnen]

Should I get some sleep?
Pink sunrise tempo matching
blinking of my eyes.

[Misscaroline]

Blinking of my eyes
Golly the sunshine is bright
That movie was long...

[Pensive]

That movie was long
Boring and silly it was
Why did I watch it?

[Misscaroline]

Why did I watch it?
Mindless hypnosis, brainrot
Dumb television

[autolycus]

dumb television
silenced by the terror of
an aloof remote

[Janine]

An aloof remote,
Echoes of indifferent tones,
Shuns delicate souls.

[Misscaroline]

Shuns delicate souls,
Crushed by abbrasive egos--
Poor wounded psyche

[Bluemauvey]

Shuns delicate souls
For sturdy ghostlike creatures
Finds no poetry

[Il Penseroso]

Finds no poetry
no shade among brightest beams,
only thick concepts.

[Bluemauvey]

Only thick concepts
Think they are the conscripts of
Old Saint Patrick's Day

[Janine]

Old Saint Patrick's Day,
Minds flooded with memories;
Pubs brimming with life!

[Pendragon]

Pubs brimming with life—
In a dark, silent hallway—
His body lies so still…

His body lies so still—
For all ignored the red flags—
Read about it tomorrow…

Read about it tomorrow—
The final letter left you—
Bullet in the brain…

Bullet in the brain…
Could this have been prevented?
Sometimes listening?

[Janine]

I liked that but it was rather dismal, Penn, on St Patrick's Day. I should have made my last line "Pubs brimming with beer!" :lol:

Sometimes listening?
Pay heed to the inner voices,
Consciously know it.

[vin1391]

Shuns delicate souls
Floating all about in there
Thinking their sad thoughts

[Pendragon]

Sorry, Jaine! Things haven't been so great here. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/broadway.gif

Thinking their sad thoughts,
They write in darkened studies
By monitor light

By monitor light—
All alone with their sorrow
The tears on their faces

The tears on their faces
Remembrance of the lost
Flows to the keyboard—

Flows to the keyboard
Posts to the Poetry Forum
Litany of pain

Litany of pain
Now given its own freedom
Peace settles back in

Peace settles back in—
They remember they have others
That care and support

That care and support—
A word fitly spoken like
Silver apples shines

[Janine]

Wow, Penn, that was amazing. I hope things are not that bad there, or will improve for you soon. I felt so sad reading this. Know that we are all here to lend you support.

silver apples, shines
bright, reflecting appetites,
fooled by cold metal.

[ktd222]

fooled by cold metal
interlaced within the seeds,
I ate the poison

[Janine]

I ate the poison
Of bitter hate and turmoil;
It festered within.

[Virgil]

It festered within,
feeding on fish and plankton.
Sharks swallow whole men.

[Janine]

Sharks swallow whole men
Whales are fun to ride inside
So t'was with Jona.


Well, I meant the biblical figure - could someone spell that for me - I think it is wrong.

[ktd222]

So t'was with Jona,
the biblical figure, - on
the lamb from police

[Reccura]

The lamb from police
ran came back to Mary (like the nursery song, "Mary had a little lamb")
They were both happy!

[vin1391]

The Lamb from police
Ate away all the sweet grass,
In the calm meadows.

[Bluemauvey]

In the calm meadows
Murder, every day is done
On one by the other

[Adolescent09]

In the calm meadows
Murder, every day is done
On one by the other

on one by the other
until sin's forebodement's come
havoc unsets peace

[atiguhya padma]

Havoc unsets peace,
That fragmentary concept,
Shaking like jelly

[Pendragon]

Shaking like jelly—
Nerves can raise more havoc than a
Madman with chainsaw

[Bluemauvey]

Madman with chainsaw
Wants to meet like minded girl
For cosy nights in

[Janine]

For cosy nights in
Light the fire, sit back, relax;
Soft flames mesmerize.

Isn't cosy spelled with a z? like cozy?

[ktd222]

Soft flames mesmerize,
easily flashing eyes of
a nighmare childhood.

[kiz_paws]

A nightmare childhood
still holds each ticking moment
a vision shattered

[ktd222]

a vision shattered,
because chucky might be in
the closet waiting

[Bluemauvey]

'The closet waiting'
The autobiography
Of Graham Le Saux

[ktd222]

Of Graham Le Saux...
whom I've never heard of in
my short, stunted, life.

[Adolescent09]

my short, stunted life,
crashed on rocks nearing demise,
until angels cry

[Bluemauvey]

Until angels cry
I suppose I will just have
To make someone else

[Adolescent09]

to make someone else,
iron my obese wife's clothes,
stuff the hole in Holland's wall with a hose,
and poke at my nose..

[Pendragon]

went off the Haiku, there, 'Dole...

to make someone else
was Frankenstein's new problem—
made him too frightened...

http://www.websmileys.com/sm/aliens/hae18.gif

[ktd222]

made him too frightened
to search for a date for the
Halloween school dance.

[Adolescent09]

halloween school of dance
where all hippy idiots
show their suits and prance
http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r10/tomovuk/70c57c03437e.gif

[Bluemauvey]

Show their suits and prance
That's how bad poker players
Give away the game

[autolycus]

give away the game
human greed offers no defence
gives the game a way

[Il Penseroso]

gives the game a way,
mah jong by local transit-
globalization

[ktd222]

globalization:
a means to buy goods cheap and
increase one's net worth

[kiz_paws]

increase one's net worth
to keep racking up the points
one deed at a time

[Bluemauvey]

One deed at a time
Thus goes the will writers day
Death by paper cuts

[Riesa]

death by paper cuts;
slow and torturous as death
by simply living

[Bluemauvey]

By simply living
The poor subsistence farmer
Is the rich man's Yang

[Riesa]

Is the rich man's Yang
worth more than poor woman's Yin?
Light and Shadow, friends.

[kiz_paws]

Light and Shadow, friends
murmers low into the night
a lone owl shivers

[Bluemauvey]

A lone owl shivers
All of the rodent world hears
Bad news gets around

[Pendragon]

Bad news gets around—
Gossips’ sunburned tongues wagging—
Yakking nothing good…

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/snake.gif

[Bluemauvey]

I don't get your structures Pen, 5, 6, 6?

:-(

[Pendragon]

I don't get your structures Pen, 5, 6, 6?

:-(
I usually let people go who miscount syllables, Mauvey, unless it's very outrageous, but perhaps the re-write is better?

Bad news gets around—
Gossips’ sunburned tongues wagging—
Yakking nothing good…

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/snake.gif

[Pendragon]

Yakking nothing good—
Criticism of everyone—
Burning the phone lines…

Burning the phone lines—
Gossip about the neighbors—
Just call the Newspapers!

Just call the Newspapers—
The National Enquirer—
All they print is lies…

All they print is lies—
One slanderer slanders others
Vicious circle ends

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/disgusted.gif

[Bluemauvey]

I usually let people go who miscount syllables, Mauvey, unless it's very outrageous, but perhaps the re-write is better?

I do prefer the re-write. And I do like the smarts of your submissions in general.

I don't count out of pedantry, I just use the previous Haiku above the one I'm composing to measure the metre, that's how I notice. :thumbs_up

[Adolescent09]

vicious circle ends
only to begin again
a faltering trend

[ktd222]

a faltering trend
grows to a quake, shaking my
living soul of boots

[Janine]

living soul of boots,
Brittle reminder; lost steps,
Mud dried battefields.

[Riesa]

mud dried battlefields
spring daisy-hope from bloodspill,
summer dries the rain

[ktd222]

summer dries the rain;
and blood-curdling voices of
anguish rise in air

[Riesa]

eek, that's a hard one to follow, so forgive it's faulty tense.

anguish rise in air
lurid death whispers balloon
in demented heat

[Janine]

In demented heat,
Drudge they onwards through sand storms,
Heels split by sun's rays.

[ktd222]

I like the James Wright quote, Riesa. It is very subtle in its expression

[Riesa]

yeah, I could learn much from him, if only I could access my own subtletly. ;)

[Riesa]

heels split by suns rays
as pomegranate skin bursts
on neglected trees

[ktd222]

on neglected trees
the dead hung swaying in the
soft, sweet, summer breeze

[Whifflingpin]

Soft sweet summer breeze
caress the cheeks of my love;
Frost wither her not.

[Janine]

Frost wither her not,
Eternally she exists -
Life's Timeless Beauty.

[ktd222]

Life's Timeless Beauty
pretends like an afterthought
speckled in gold dust.

[Janine]

Speckled in gold dust
Her fairy hair lay tossled,
Intwined in heather.

[ktd222]

Intwined in heather,
and teathered there she confined
herself with the bees

[autolycus]

herself with the bees
we would not touch either one
them being prickly both

[vin1391]

them being prickly both
Waddled all the way to town
Them being Hedgehogs.

[Bluemauvey]

Them being hedgehogs
They never quite got the point
Except for always

[Bluemauvey]

Intwined in heather,
and teathered there she confined
herself with the bees

Spelling discrepancies aside, I really like this. :thumbs_up

[Riesa]

except for Always
will Never wait, thumbs tucked deep
in future pockets

[Bluemauvey]

In future pockets
The hands of fate wait, idle
Enter the devil

[Pendragon]

Enter the devil,
Stage right, contract clutched tightly—
Will Faust sell his soul?


http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/icw/030.gif

[Bluemauvey]

:thumbs_up

[autolycus]

will faust sell his soul
the moment passes again
a small contraction

[ktd222]

a small contraction
in the heart, a numbed look tells
me all I require

[Riesa]

me, all I require:
requirements requited.
He gives moon mountains.

[ktd222]

He gives moon mountains,
in return asks for our nights -
for nightly homage

[Susan Sonnen]

For nightly homage
to our fallen defenders;
barn owl cries all night.

[kiz_paws]

Barn owl cries all night
the air is full of suff'ring
still, still little one.

p.s. I like the commentaries by you, Bluemauvey! We've got some good stuff goin' on here! :thumbs_up

[AdoreroDio]

still, still little one
Peace will come one of these days
then you won't shed tears

[ktd222]

then you won't shed tears
over the winter break that
yields ten bumbling bums

[Pendragon]

yields ten bumbling bums—
and four and twenty beggars—
knocking on my door…

knocking on my door—
peeping in my kitchen window—
looking for handouts…

looking for handouts,
thirty four sturdy hobos—
I am now besieged!

I am now besieged
but softhearted , bit foolish?
guys, the soup is on!

guys, the soup is on—
thirty-four dirty men rejoice—
best meal in a week!

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Hobo.jpg

[kiz_paws]

That was fantastic, Pendragon, thanks for your whimsy! :) ** standing ovation **

Best meal in a week
the sated stomach agreed
time now for a nap

[Janine]

time now for a nap,
Recover from weary life;
Renewal in stars.


That whimsy was great Penn!
I love it; I can picture the scene perfectly in my mind with the soup served in old cans....was it "stone" soup?...you must have heard that story before? My mom always told us that one when we were kids.

[Susan Sonnen]

Renewal in stars,
dreams soaring the universe;
one nova breaks free!

[Janine]

One nova breaks free!
Fresh thoughts drift through time's pure space;
Ageless unique worlds.

[ktd222]

Ageless unique worlds
full of antiques, such useless
things, I think, for now

[Janine]

Things, I think, for now
Sit there and stare back blankly,
Ask and give nothing.

[brainstrain]

Ask and give nothing
Underappreciated
I thank you now, mom

[Janine]

I thank you now, mom
For wise words in youthful days;
You, who departed.

[kiz_paws]

You, who departed
though the memory shines on
those precious few years

[Janine]

Those precious few years,
Will gently haunt me until
My last breathe ceases.

[ktd222]

My last breathe ceases.
Then my brother will chop me
in bits and feed Pete

[autolycus]

in bits and feed pete
had no rival on the street
but we banked elsewhere

[Pendragon]

time now for a nap,
Recover from weary life;
Renewal in stars.


That whimsy was great Penn!
I love it; I can picture the scene perfectly in my mind with the soup served in old cans....was it "stone" soup?...you must have heard that story before? My mom always told us that one when we were kids. Oh yes, Jainie! And a little story about

"Not this night but the night before,
Four and twenty robbers came a-knocking on my door"

I kind of combined the two! ;)

But we banked elsewhere
With three children in one bed—
How did you survive?

http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/figuren/d020.gif

[Janine]

How did you survive?
Life's singeing slings and arrows,
Burning heart of woe.




Beautiful poem, Penn - Reflection

Love the last two lines.

[manyreddevils]

burning heart of woe,
a jalapeno too far;
fear the mexican

[kiz_paws]

Burning heart of woe
so many empty moments
to go back and live

[Janine]

To go back and live,
Healing may be possible;
Scarred hearts wait in time.

[Virgil]

Scarrd hearts wait in time
To heal and mellow calmly.
Beat on my only.

[Janine]

Beat on my only
Faithful heart of hearts, locked
grave in mournful breast.

Hi Virgil...hi!

[ktd222]

grave in mournful breast -
tombs of the unforgotten -
faith incinerates

[Reccura]

faith incinerates
while her depressed soul's mad
at our mother earth

__________________

Reccura is tooooootalllly depressed. So she makes depressed haikus. :bawling:

[Pendragon]

at our mother earth,
down below in the darkness
they toil deep underground

they toil deep underground,
where hides that mithril,
true silver armor makes—

true silver armor makes
a waistcoat no weapon fears,
they cannot mar it

they cannot mar it,
dwarves! unearth mithril—
They dug far too deep…

they dug far too deep—
unearthed fire and shadow mixed—
run! A balrog comes…


Be not sad my Artist! Uncle Pen

[Riesa]

run! a balrog comes
grinning, seeking dwarf fingers
to crunch and savor.

[kiz_paws]

To crunch and savor
the pack eagerly awaits
the Alpha Wolf's nod...

[ktd222]

the Alpha Wolf's nod...
only then the group followed
to help tackle prey

[Adolescent09]

to help tackle prey
disembowel homely fat hens,
and suck dripping sweets

[Janine]

And suck dripping sweets,
From warm candy apple spoon,
Red lips smack delight!

Hi Adol, there - I changed your gory thoughts to nice ones!

[ktd222]

Red lips smack delight!
now that I'm drenched in the blood
of another beast

[Janine]

Of another beast
He appeared to be, until
He spoke in language.

[ktd222]

He spoke in language
so vulgar that only a
martian, he must be

[Janine]

Martian, he must be,
Steps from shiny saucer,
Spacey man from mars!

[kiz_paws]

Spacey man from mars
takes his first step towards us
and pauses in awe

[Janine]

And pauses in awe,
At the crowded theater,
Then she sings; magic.

[ejarg7]

Then she sings; magic
Into this musical bliss,
We shall all retreat.

[kiz_paws]

We shall all retreat
to the meadow of the mist
to greet the new day

[Janine]

To greet the new day,
Is a priviledge to souls
Most truly alive.

[ktd222]

Most truly alive
to icons lifted in air
by billions of hands

[toni]

By Billions of hands
Grew from the maiden's sunlights
Flying from the mouth

[kiz_paws]

Flying from the mouth
hot words sting with no remorse
the struggle ensues

[Pendragon]

the struggle ensues—
conscience constantly battles—
do or do not—why?

[Il Penseroso]

do or do not - why?
wait for seaslugs with a grin,
live without a cause.

[kiz_paws]

Live without a cause
quietly embrace nature
fulfilling my dreams

[Janine]

Fulfilling my dreams
Easier said than done;'cause
Obstacles loam up.

[kiz_paws]

Obstacles loam up
my freedom is compromised
by the daily grind

[Janine]

By the daily grind,
Insistence, break out backs
Wheels, cogs of progress?

[kiz_paws]

Wheels, cogs of progress
force the ticking clock onward
and forward I head

[Janine]

And forward I head
To forage for my dinner,
Order out tonight?

[Adolescent09]

order out tonight?
I'm on a diet of fruit
and beans or cow soup

[Susan Sonnen]

And beans or cow soup
just won't do; I crave a more
hearty fare of love.

[Janine]

Hearty fare of love,
Not just on Valentine's Day;
A daily portion!

[kiz_paws]

A daily portion
of aesthetics I desire
my pen is nearby

[Bebbin]

My pen is nearby
Thoughts are pouring rapidly
Immersed in silence

[Janine]

Immersed in silence,
The night glow is luminous;
Alone, I see the stars.

[Virgil]

Alone I see the stars
Beneath Mark Antony's soul.
Drink wine and love women.
:D

[ejarg7]

Immersed in silence
I feel emptiness within
engulfed forever

[Adolescent09]

engulfed forever
but you better get loud quick
because we all are

(ejarg, hope you have a great time on the forums; you're supposed to continue from the last line of the post above and mantain the syllable(I suck at spelling?) rule.)

[Janine]

Because we all are,
We all can become as not;
Death tolls the last bell.

[ktd222]

Death tolls the last bell -
the saved ran away from the
solomn overcast

[ejarg7]

engulfed forever
but you better get loud quick
because we all are

(ejarg, hope you have a great time on the forums; you're supposed to continue from the last line of the post above and mantain the syllable(I suck at spelling?) rule.)

Oops! My bad ... I was at the wrong page, and I saw Bebbin's post as the last one ...

My pen is nearby
Thoughts are pouring rapidly
Immersed in silence

[Janine]

I will try to fix with some of your lines; start with Virgil's last line -

Drink wine and love women.
I feel emptiness within,
engulfed forever.

Last two line are by Ejarg, Hey, E, you did not know you felt that way about women, did you?:lol:
Now the rest of the Haiku's work anyway. I will use the very first line in my new Haiku.

[Janine]

engulfed forever
but you better get loud quick
because we all are

(ejarg, hope you have a great time on the forums; you're supposed to continue from the last line of the post above and mantain the syllable(I suck at spelling?) rule.)

Adol, no problem - I fixed it to keep flowing along after yours.

[Janine]

Because we all are,
We all can become as not;
Death tolls the last bell.

[Janine]

Death tolls the last bell -
the saved ran away from the
solomn overcast

ktd, here is the next in line - sorry I had to move you to have it all fall in place.

[Janine]

Solomn overcast
Clouds with stale vaporous fumes,
Poison existence.

[autolycus]

poison existence
subvert the heart of being
her room is empty

[Bebbin]

Her room is empty
Anguish, loneliness, sorrow
Like a lover lost

[ejarg7]

Like a lover lost
Solitude is all she feels
Her heart is empty

Janine, thanks for making it right again. Sorry guys for the confusion ... my bad :(

[ktd222]

Janine, thanks for making it right again. Sorry guys for the confusion ... my bad :(

It's ok. Waltz on

[ktd222]

Her heart is empty -
no gunk - for lover's to toss
like dirty glances

[Pendragon]

like dirty glances
peeping toms at a window
watching her movements

watching her movements
sultry sinuous dancer—
save the last dance, please

save the last dance, please,
I a lonely wallflower—
await patiently—

await patiently,
for my dance ethereal lady—
touch of your cold kiss

touch of your cold kiss—
release, my sorrows final
lady death I come home…

[Janine]

Lady death, I come home;
Please do not bar heaven's door,
I crave starry rest.




ejarg7, no problem. I messed up my first couple time on this site. You will get the hang of it soon enough.

[Adolescent09]

I crave starry rest,
and solace's cozy cave,
but you are the best,

[Janine]

but you are the best,
not really, you are much better,
with your words so wise.

Good day Adol!

[ktd222]

with your words so wise,
one wonders why you don't have
a crowd following

[Janine]

a crowd following,
a sea of heads in sunlight,
mass confusion reigns.

[kiz_paws]

Mass confusion reigns
the forest fire blazed onward
run swift ye creatures

[Janine]

run swift ye creatures,
darkness folds all around you;
shadows in moonlight.

[ktd222]

shadows in moonlight
took the shapes of grave diggers
burying the earth

[Janine]

burying the earth,
gray ash taints tops of tombstones;
volcanic shadows.

[vin1391]

Volcanic Shadows
Casting waves of lava pool,
Into the deep cliffs.

[ktd222]

Into the deep cliffs
spews hot lava upwards like
solar flares of suns

[autolycus]

solar flares of suns
icepicks stabbing through the night
of my root canal

[Pendragon]

of my root canal
do not expect me to speak—
Novocain hangover!

[Janine]

Novocain hangover!
I can hardly talk today;
Most people are glad.

[Weeping Willow]

Most people are glad
Cause they think they are alive
But my trunk is dead

[Riesa]

but my trunk is dead,
at least it smells of rain and
faded wedding lace


Hi Janine! :wave: :D

[Weeping Willow]

Faded wedding lace
From your face has disapeared
Into dark corner

[Il Penseroso]

Into dark corner
squirmish with one's lonesome pride,
two minute timeout.

[Weeping Willow]

two minute timeout
Last minute shot, here we go
Alfa Beta Go!

[Riesa]

alfa beta go!
sweat flies, bodies crash beneath
the stadium lights

[Janine]

The stadium lights
Glare painfully in my eyes,
Dry winds whirl wildly.

[ejarg7]

Dry winds whirl wildly
The cheers, ringing in my ears
Chaos all around

[Janine]

Chaos all around;
How do I maintain this calm?
Within secluded worlds.

[Bebbin]

Within secluded worlds
Reaching out, out from within
But to no avail

[Janine]

But to no avail
does freedom reign in my heart;
death chained to lost love.

[Virgil]

Death chained to lost love
Makes for a great Blues ditty.
Get rhythm and dance.

[kiz_paws]

Death chained to lost love
my tears fill the ocean's floor
to create rivers

[Matt the Man]

Get Rhythm and Dance
Let's go down to the club, guys
And have lots of fun


Yeah...

[ktd222]

And have lots of fun.
Then afterwards head home to
sleep by 8 AM

[Pendragon]

sleep by 8 AM—
in time for rush hour traffic—
horns blaring, blowing

horns blaring, blowing,
car full of circus clowns whirls
round and round my head…

round and round my head—
playing tricks upon my mind—
migraine explosion—

migraine explosion—
anyone possess Tylenol?
gotta stop the clowns…

gotta stop the clowns—
turn off the calliope—
bring the curtain down…

bring the curtain down—
the migraine exits stage left—
goodbye, clowns, goodbye!

Goodbye, clowns, goodbye
you have been here far too long
and I must move on...

[Uncle Lar]

Hello with a need
to know how to write better
haiku divinely.

(Uncle Lar)

[Janine]

Uncle Lar, seems like you are catching on just fine. Welcome to Lit Net!

haiku divinely
stated, goes beyond
imagination.

[Janine]

Penn, cute set of Haiku! Like the photos, too.

[Bebbin]

Imagination
Unicorns, faeries, magic
However unreal

[Janine]

However unreal
We seem to others, be sure
and stay true to you.

[Uncle Lar]

Thank you, Janine, for
your very warm Welcome to
me and my Haiku.

Have a great Weekend!

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar
:thumbs_up

[Janine]

Me and my Haiku,
Feel partial to wisdoms gems,
Rather obsessed perhaps.


You are welcome! Have a great weekend, too, Uncle Lars!

[Matt the Man]

rather obsessed perhaps
i was infatuated
with my small puppy


that was deep, man....>_<

[kiz_paws]

Greetings, Uncle Lar! You and your haiku are most welcome here. :)

With my small puppy
I shall strive to understand
the canine manner

(Hey Matt, I never said hello, so hello! I like your signature!)

[amuse]

with my small puppy
i bring music to jeweled lights -
children's happy eyes

[amuse]

ooh! mea culpa!!!

[Adolescent09]

Hi everyone :)--

children's happy eyes
glint bright after dull blue,
smiles after sorrow

[Matt the Man]

smiles after sorrow
is how it should always be
unless you're emo.


Yargh...

[kiz_paws]

:wave: Hi Adol!

Unless you're emo
you face life's constant challenge
eager to go on...

**whispers: "dang that was difficult" **

[Adolescent09]

that's why I was waiting for someone else to continue it lol... hello there.

eager to go on,
life's profuse impediments
are never too much

[amuse]

from Matt the Man's haiku, because i took a long time to compose and probably should have refreshed/checked the page before posting:

with my small puppy
i run gaily through the house
and enjoy long naps


from the latest:

are never too much
red ants for soup, dessert, tea.
they make lovely shakes

[hyperinsomnia]

They make lovely shakes;
These far exaggerated
Excuses for men

[kiz_paws]

Excuses for men
sometimes square pegs in round holes
love them anyhow

[hyperinsomnia]

Love them anyhow
Those fair dancing Illusions
That one cannot grasp

[kandaurov]

That one cannot grasp
Such an obvious notion
Like breathing in-sync

[Pendragon]

Like breathing in-sync—
Snoring horrendous noises—
Like sawmill rush hour

Like sawmill rush hour,
With tremendous rush orders—
Saws all on high speed

Saws all on high speed,
Snores shake even the high rafters—
Stir up sleeping bats

Stir up sleeping bats—
Der Fledermaus comes diving—
Guided by the sound

Guided by the sound,
Little brown bomber attacks
Sleeper in for shock!

[autolycus]

sleeper in for shock
another sleeper trauma
emergency ward

[literaturerocks]

emergency ward
everything is so blurry
quick in a hurry

[kiz_paws]

Quick in a hurry
lest my fainting heart succumb
behold the blackness

[Adolescent09]

behold the blackness,
in bright orange, flowing dusk,
silhouetting light--

when morning stars speckle white
spreading forth a day--

when evil loses a face,
and good-will shines so bright,

when lies are gone, pure goodness
lingers day and night

[Janine]

lingers day and night,
smoke mist from crushed cigarrettes;
stale unsettling woe.

[Janine]

Excuses for men
sometimes square pegs in round holes
love them anyhow

kiz_paws - your Haiku cracks me up - love the second line!:lol:
Although I wonder - does that describe me, too?:rolleyes:

Skip this post - see my last entry for last line...thanks.

[Janine]

stale unsettling woe,
heart torn asunder; two halves,
ragged edged me.

[Matt the Man]

ragged edged me
Amuse mocks my good haiku
it pisses me off.

[AdoreroDio]

It pisses me off
to see great haikus ruined
by others mocking

[kiz_paws]

By others mocking
creativity is lost
lets all get along
;)
