Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

[kiz_paws]

kiz_paws - your Haiku cracks me up - love the second line!:lol:

tee hee, glad you enjoyed as life does have its square pegs moments! :)

[AdoreroDio]

lets all get along
or we all might be to late
to catch the early worm

[kiz_paws]

catch the early worm
or life's moments will leave you
wishing you were there

[hyperinsomnia]

wishing you were there
Telling her you'll ease the pain
Holding her again

[Il Penseroso]

Holding her again
like the sun revolves the earth,
steadfast attraction.

[hyperinsomnia]

Steadfast attraction
Is far more physical than
something you can trust

[kandaurov]

Something you can trust
Crumbling into heaps of dust
Blown by a fierce gust

[hyperinsomnia]

blown by a fierce gust
Into some far off place
all of my beliefs

[Pendragon]

all of my beliefs,
I have steadfastly held true—
now I must question…

now I must question—
could I be the one mistaken—
am I really certain?

am I really certain
enough to stake forever on
one roll of the dice?

one roll of the dice—
you either win or else you lose—
momentous options—

momentous options—
life-altering decisions—
think before you choose…

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

[vin1391]

think before you choose
All about your job so tight
Remember yourself.

[ktd222]

Remember yourself
when giving clothes to Goodwill -
take some in return

[Janine]

take some in return?
I always do that, so funny,
but hopefully give more!

[amuse]

but hopefully: give more
love that ye may live richly,
as do golden hearts.

[Janine]

as do golden hearts,
burn with illumination,
soul's fire glows for you.

[vin1391]

Souls fire glows for you
Among the heart pure and true,
Within the beauty you.

[B-Mental]

within the beauty
photons transmit endlessly
pheremones of love

[Pendragon]

pheromones of love,
from Aphrodite’s nighty—
seduced other gods…

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

[kandaurov]

seduced other gods
by being one: the final
emancipation

[kiz_paws]

Emancipation
all the ties have been severed
the freed heart now soars...

[kandaurov]

The freed heart now soars
All the walls have become doors
No more locks to force

[quasimodo1]

I see the red door and want to paint it black remotely such are my skills at haiku

[Uncle Lar]

My Monday is full
of stress, sadness, and worry;
I hope this week shines.

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

[Uncle Lar]

My Monday is full
of stress, sadness, and worry;
I hope this week shines.

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

[Uncle Lar]

My apologies
about the double posting;
what a hard Monday.

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

[Uncle Lar]

Quasimodo1,
why paint the red door black? Please
give Haiku a chance.
:thumbs_up

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

[Janine]

My Monday is full
of stress, sadness, and worry;
I hope this week shines.

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

Well, I am confused more than you - where did you get the line "My Monday is full" Uncle Lar?


Sorry, but I am starting from kandaurov's last line:

No more locks to force,
The red doors have been opened,
The emperor is now free!

[kandaurov]

The Emperor is now free!
Let there be a jubilee
Full of dance and glee

[Janine]

Yeah, but it did not follow correctly with the last line. Someone started a whole new line. Confusing....

Full of dance and glee,
Exoticly rich with scent,
Swirling dizzy skirts!

[Uncle Lar]

May the Emperor
rule with wisdom, charity,
and prosperity.

Sorry about the confusion.

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

[Uncle Lar]

Swirling dizzy skirts
to celebrate the coming
of the Emperor.

[Janine]

Of the Emperor,
I speak highly with respect,
Most times in great awe.

[ejarg7]

Most times in great awe
Mesmerized, filled with wonder
Devoid of reason

[Bebbin]

Devoid of reason
Life is filled with mysteries
They fall in darkness

[B-Mental]

They fall in darkness
seedlings purchase timorous
cast upon the wind

[Reccura]

Cast upon the wind
I go to a barren land
and I free myself

[B-Mental]

and I free myself
from bedsheets and blankets grasp
arise, the day begins

[Reccura]

Arise, the day begins (isn't that six syllables?)
I tear myself from freedom
I enjoy choco (late)

____________________


I'm thinking oif Goya right now.

Iza has to go right now!!!!! Goodbye!!!!!

[B-Mental]

I enjoy choco
mystical sweet confection
treasured by many

Ciao Iza

[ejarg7]

Treasured by many
across seven continents
Ahh, the addiction!

[kandaurov]

Ahh, the addiction!
It's like a big fat cockroach
It won't, just won't die!

[Virgil]

It won', just won't die,
This dream of playing guitar.
Strumming my life down.

[vin1391]

Strumming my life down
Eating out of my food stock
Await visitor

[Pendragon]

Await visitor—
Will you bring me new flowers?
Old withered away—

Old withered away—
Cannot recall when they died,
Folded into dust…

Folded into dust…
Always ashes to ashes,
No mortal remains…

No Mortal remains
For long by my tombstone—
Set down flowers—flee

Set down flowers—flee,
But the circle continues—
The Reaper comes soon…

Others will leave you
Tiny quiet remembrances
And then flee as well…

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/grave2_full.jpg

[Uncle Lar]

And then flee as well
to blissful Harmony in
the passing of Time.

[kandaurov]

The passing of Time
Passing time and time again
Vile Eternity

[AdoreroDio]

Vile Eternity
Scathing hot nothingness around
Surrounds me, kills me

[ejarg7]

Surrounds me, kills me
and brings me back from the dead
again and again

[Janine]

Again and again,
I hear your lost voice echo
Within my numb heart.

[B-Mental]

within my numb heart
reconciled to solitude
echoes lost lovers

[ktd222]

echoes lost lovers
against the darkened backdrop
where music crackles

[Janine]

where music crackles,
hateful notes ring in the air,
and send me reeling.

[Bluemauvey]

And send me reeling
So I untangle, pondside
The surface tension

[Isagel]

The surface tension
a mirror in my teacup
breaks by a caress.

[Bluemauvey]

Breaks by a caress
The glass heart and jealous lie
Of winter's embrace

[megan_m]

burn and rage away
like the fat man that you are
do you understand

[Adolescent09]

do you understand
that pain never comes and stays?
do you understand

that love never goes away?
do you understand

our love will bere here always?
do you understand

that warm loathe converts to love?
and your hate for me

will never always remain,
even as you breath...

[Uncle Lar]

Even as you breathe,
life goes on, with or without
you; so don't worry.

[Bluemauvey]

burn and rage away
like the fat man that you are
do you understand

I know a laugh is never the required answer but...:lol:

[Bluemauvey]

You? So, don't worry
In time you will be others
Man of the people

[Pendragon]

Man of the People,
By the People Elected;
For the People Serve...

[Bluemauvey]

For the people serve
Hot dogs, burgers and French fries
For the king, lark's tongues

[kandaurov]

For the king, larks' tongues
For the queen, elephants' lungs
And milk for their youngs

[strangest, most bizarre piece of writing I have ever produced]

[kiz_paws]

And milk for their young
their helpless cries are answered
a united love

[AdoreroDio]

a united love
That can never be broken
fills our longing hearts

[Uncle Lar]

Fills our longing hearts
with Joy, Peace, and Gladness now
and forevermore.

[kandaurov]

and forevermore-
seems like an eternity?
it's just a lifetime.

[aprildutcher]

it's just a lifetime.
to break our lonely habits
to be alone now

[Riesa]

to be alone now,
a honeysuckle porch with
firefly candles

[ktd222]

firefly candles
flicker among the midnight
moon. (Do I dare try?)

[Bluemauvey]

Moon, do I dare try
To emulate you on drum
Or on Entwhistle?

[kiz_paws]

to be alone now,
a honeysuckle porch with
firefly candles

Nice job, Riesa, my compliments! :)

Or on Entwhistle
so nice to be a solo
in the harvest sun

[AdoreroDio]

In the harvest sun
workers now toil endlessly
for future rewards

[ktd222]

for future rewards
dabla do da do...do. Live
in the present tense.

[Il Penseroso]

in the present tense
no article rearranged
to fit modern modes.

[Bluemauvey]

To fit modern modes
The past is once more disguised
Kills fashion victims

[kandaurov]

'to fit modern modes?'
I'm sorry, I don't know much
about music things :(

[kandaurov]

Shoot, forgot to refresh before posting. Sorry!

Kills fashion victims
Anonymously, with guile,
With spite and a smile

[hyperinsomnia]

With spite and a smile;
stay for a while! May I,
Destabilize you?

[Bluemauvey]

Destablise you
Bad seahorse, you shall sleep out
On the quarter-deck

[kandaurov]

On the quarter-deck
Of the ship that will take you
To Unconsciousness

[Bluemauvey]

To unconciousness
Are we sent by the surgeon
Just below the pain

[kandaurov]

Just below the pain,
Lies Truth; beyond the threshold
All the stars seem few

[Bluemauvey]

All the stars seem few
Appearance is deceptive
Lucky sky so big

[Uncle Lar]

Lucky Sky so big,
with all its vast Beauty, Grace,
and wonderful Charm.

:thumbs_up

[Pendragon]

and wonderful charm
he put into all his tales—
most with a moral…

most with a moral—
like The Ransom of Red Chief—
Gift of the Magi…

Gift of the Magi…
Roads of Destiny—wonderful!
After Twenty Years…

After Twenty Years…
Adventures of Shamrock Jolnes…
The Enchanted Profile…

The Enchanted Profile…
and The Whirligig of Life…
The Last Leaf—how sad…

the last leaf, how sad!
we must now close up the book—

[autolycus]

...never forget him
amen, all rise, open door
where to now for lunch?

[B-Mental]

where to now for lunch?
the parkbench on riverside?
greasy spoon cafe?

[Uncle Lar]

Greasy spoon Cafe,
with its lovely Waitresses,
so dear to my Heart.

[AdoreroDio]

so dear to my heart
is that young child within each
which giggles out loud

[Uncle Lar]

That which giggles out
loud can be very joyful
or so mischievous!

[AdoreroDio]

or so mischivious
now is Dr.Forrester
when on the TV

(Lily Adams is with her friend and is pushing her mstie fandomness onto Miss Dio. Hi everyone!)

[Janine]

So mischievous
Can be the antics of squirrels
Youthful pests frolic!

Uncle Lar - wasn't there too many syllables in last line?...I shorted by one word. I guess it depends on how you pronounce the word, not sure.

Oops too slow - will do new one to correct.

When on the TV,
People sometimes feel 'all nerves'
Cameras scare me.

[Uncle Lar]

"Mischievous" can be
pronounced in three or in four
syllables, Janine.

Per Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
http://m-w.com/dictionary/mischievous

:thumbs_up

[Janine]

ok, I was wondering about that - gotcha. But I was too late anyway so I wrote another one.

[Uncle Lar]

Cameras scare me, so
I do my best to avoid
being photographed.

"Camera" can be
so well-pronounced in three or
in two syllables.

Per Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
http://m-w.com/dictionary/camera

:thumbs_up

[Janine]

Cameras scare me, so
I do my best to avoid
being photographed.

"Camera" can be

:thumbs_up
"Cameras scare me, so
I do my best to avoid
being photographed." - me too Uncle Lars!:lol:

Being photographed?
Not to my liking at all,
Can't smile naturally.

[ejarg7]

Can't smile naturally
And I look weird in photos
Why, I do not know ...

* I don't quite like it as well :) *

[Bebbin]

Why, I do not know...
How to make of a few things
I have a headache

[toni]

I have a headache
I don't love you like I did
just like yesterday

[Pensive]

Just like yesterday
I am sulky and unhappy
Merriment? Not our slave!

[kandaurov]

Merriment? Not our slave!
I'm free to be stern and grave
And to misbehave!

[Uncle Lar]

And to misbehave
with no regret, shame, or pain;
madness or genius?

[kandaurov]

madness or genius
it all amounts to the same:
helps one to stand out

[Pendragon]

Helps one to stand out—
Bermuda shorts and black socks—
You go—you geezer!

[kandaurov]

You go—you geezer!
Impersonating Caesar!
Always a teaser!...

[Uncle Lar]

Always a teaser,
rarely a huge crowd-pleaser,
the Fool walks alone.

[kiz_paws]

the fool walks alone
the highways of life are long
you must remember

[Il Penseroso]

you must remember,
let feet roam in dewy past,
touch last prism light.

[Uncle Lar]

Touch last prism light,
which distorts, colors, or slants,
and make it shine bright.

-----------------------------------
Please have a very
safe and Happy Holiday
Weekend, Everyone!

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

[kiz_paws]

and make it shine bright
a little hope becomes true
one feels so alive
---------------------------------------------------
Uncle Lar is nice
to send people his greeting
I return the warmth :)

[Adolescent09]

--Same to you Uncle Lar :)--

one feels so alive,
when passions' breath tinges us,
and tells success' tale..

[Janine]

And tells success' tale..
We all respect each other,
Share our secret thoughts.

:wave: Hi Adol, how have you been?

[Adolescent09]

share our secret thoughts,
in shadows under caged bars,
but we are effaced

Hello Janine. I haven't seen/spoken to you in a while. I miss your comments :( How are you :)

[Janine]

but we are effaced,
we hide from ourselves today;
now shameful of self.

Better now, Adol, been sick three weeks - too long.

[ktd222]

now shameful of self,
the self blew away the day,
leaving - but a self

[Janine]

leaving - but a self,
a self without eyes or ears,
dark to all that's "self".

Hi ktd - I hope you don't mind, I expanded on your thoughts.

[ktd222]

not at all - it's quite wonderful

dark to all that's "self" -
an inward movement that is
like dying, once, twice

[Janine]

Liked that last Haiku, Ktd...

like dying, once, twice
and burning down to ashes;
rise phoenix's newbirth.

Yes, we could colaborate and write a long poem about "self"

[Pendragon]

rise phoenix's newbirth—
from ashes of the old comes new—
in a burst of flame…

[B-Mental]

in a burst of flame
twilight blinks instantly day
scarring my vision

[kandaurov]

scarring my vision
with absurd, perfect Beauty
low, how very low.

[ktd222]

low, how very low
the soul goes when Love breaks the
heart in smithereens

[Pendragon]

heart in smithereens—
you must handle very gently
a heart made of glass…

[autolycus]

a heart made of glass
burning flame in cage of air
ten thousand beats near

=====

(has anyone noticed we're closer to 10,000 than the 10,000 thread?)

[Uncle Lar]

Ten thousand beats near
eager anticipation
comes my heart with hope.

[Pendragon]

ten thousand beats near—
native drums do the talking—
trespass not—taboo…

[Uncle Lar]

Trespass not—Taboo;
many Rules are made to be
broken and rethought.

:thumbs_up

[ktd222]

broken and rethought,
I bought the farm for pennies
and no interest

[RobinHood3000]

...and no interest??
My bank account is defunct
ATM on fritz

[Uncle Lar]

ATM on fritz,
I must avoid Credit Cards,
Mom and Dad, please HELP!

[kiz_paws]

Mom and Dad, please HELP!
my bad spending has caught up
I need good advice

Note for Pen: Bravo on the tribute to O.Henry, I enjoyed it immensely and applaud your talents! :)

[ktd222]

I need good advice
on how to become a free-
loader forever

[Pendragon]

Thanks Paws! http://www.cosgan.de/images/midi/liebe/u030.gif

loader forever—
my mom always said I’d be—
never be anything—

never be anything—
but take a look at me now—
finally found home…

finally found home—
a place where I can belong—
writing to the world…

[Uncle Lar]

Writing to the World
about my Happy Birthday
Today is AWESOME!

"Carpe Diem!"

Have a great Day, Everyone!

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

[Pensive]

Today is awesome
But beware my dearest friends
Tomorrow comes too

[Uncle Lar]

Tomorrow comes too
with the good things and bad ones;
learn, adapt, and win!

:thumbs_up

[Bebbin]

Learn, adapt, and win!
The key to success is this
You will never fail

[Uncle Lar]

You will never fail
if you honestly accept
yourself as you are.

:thumbs_up

[Bebbin]

Yourself as you are
In the soul's innermost depths
Only found when lost

[Uncle Lar]

Only found when lost
was the wayward one, after
a moment of bliss.

[ktd222]

a moment of bliss
lasts a millisecond, though
I do not love you

[Adolescent09]

a moment of bliss
lasts a millisecond, though
I do not love you

(I'm starting on this new style that is written in a sort of biological concept so it might not be entirely clear. I hope some of you like it.)

Though I do not love you
and widened pavement is ice,
slipping the shiftless

walkway, ground and foot,
the many knive's intrusions,

red, white and platelets
ooze the acute incision,
and rise dark-felt dreams

where the path, the wake,
the calling newly muted,
wrath's voices haulted

[kiz_paws]

Wrath's voices halted
a flickering ember frail
and silenced the meek

I liked your new style above, Adol well done :)

And I would like to warmly wish Uncle Lar a belated birthday greeting, hope your day was ticketty-boo, as they say here. :)

[ktd222]

and silenced the meek
Mr. M, for his deeds as
this nation's father

[autolycus]

this nation's father
and an abandoned motherland
naked dysfunction

[Uncle Lar]

Naked Dysfunction
can become dangerous and
contagious; please help!

[Lote-Tree]

Ancient Space
Quarks Bump-in
Light Waves

[Uncle Lar]

Ancient space light waves
transmute into higher and
powerful light waves.

[Lote-Tree]

A scientist gathers up fossils
Sublime intricacy of design
Glad tidings

[littlewing53]

glad tidings spoken
from a beautiful flower
blooming bright yellow

[Lote-Tree]

blooming bright yellow
Sunflower kissing the sky
the joy

[Pendragon]

the joy unfinished,
life cut short by accident—
his mother still mourns...

his mother still mourns,
at the thought of what might be
had she kept him home…

had she kept him home
the day The Reaper called—
she blames herself still…

she blames herself, still
when the thread is once broken—
your number is up…

your number is up,
no matter what choices given—
the way of all flesh…

the way of all flesh
born, live a time, then we pass—
just make your dash count

just make your dash count,
the one ‘tween the dates on stone—
always remembered….


For my wife’s cousin, Blake Dunavant, who was accidentally drowned, and for his mother, Mary…

[Uncle Lar]

Always remembered
and never forgotten now
and forevermore.

Sorry for your loss,
Pendragon.

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

[ktd222]

and forevermore:
I've gotten a restraining
order out on you

[Bebbin]

Order out on you
Hey, get me some chilli fries
And a diet coke


(And Pendragon, I'm sorry for your loss.)

[ktd222]

And a diet coke
to crack the pippity pop
bang in my tummy

[Pendragon]

Thanks Lar and Beb. It was about a year ago and I couldn't write about it at the time...


bang in my tummy,
hot jalapenos , salsa—
Vesuvius’ flames…

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

[Uncle Lar]

Vesuvius’
flames burn angrily and soar
throughout the city.

[Susan Sonnen]

Throughout the city
prowls a hunger for new blood;
evil wears no mask.

[Virgil]

Evil wears no mask
But it drools over young girls.
Should cover that face.
:lol: :lol:

[Janine]

Should cover that face,
Red flames of remorse burn down;
tranform you today.


A little Lawrencian verse

[The Bookinator]

Transform you today:
Nuclear waste is that strong...
Like my uni-eye?

[Bebbin]

Like my uni-eye?
My one-sided vision stinks
Time to operate!

[ejarg7]

Time to operate!
Oh, it's Friday the thirteenth
Quick, run! Run and hide!

[ktd222]

Quick, run! Run and hide!
But not from the light! Oh No!
Nothing but the night!

[Susan Sonnen]

Nothing but the night
feeds my soul's desire to flee;
starlight beckons me.

[Reccura]

Starlight beckons me,
save me from another lie,
veins start to explode. (from nervousness of lying :p)

[Pendragon]

veins start to explode,
transformation has started—
Jekyll becomes Hyde

[Uncle Lar]

Jekyll becomes Hyde,
Clark Kent becomes Superman;
all want to transmute!

:thumbs_up

[Uncle Lar]

All want to transmute
into something greater and
better forever.

Have a great Weekend!

Sincerely,

Uncle Lar

[kiz_paws]

Better forever
forgiveness heals my regrets
harmony prevails

Dear Pendragon: Your poem was a lovely tribute, I was sorry to read of your loss.

[Susan Sonnen]

Harmony prevails
when Winter exits the scene;
birds sing this new Spring!

[Bebbin]

Birds sing this new Spring!
Alas, love is in the air
Oh, but not for me

[ktd222]

Oh, but not for me,
with my head mutated so
it looks like a horse

[Il Penseroso]

It looks like a horse
the shifting gas and bursting
lightbulbs in the sky.

[ktd222]

lightbulbs in the sky
rides down into my eyes like
some horrific past

[Il Penseroso]

Some horrific past
blots the present as fountains
spread a mushroom cap

[ktd222]

spread a mushroom cap,
which suffocates anyone's
will to spread themselves

[Bebbin]

Will to spread themselves
Wings that dream, soar and triumph
It's humanity

[Pendragon]

Thanks, Paws! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/MobyLove.gif

It's humanity—
Reach for the stars overlooking
Simple beauty here…

Simple beauty here,
Elegance of flowers,
Natural wonders

Natural wonders—
Animal diversity,
So hard to explain…

So hard to explain
But we keep on trying anyway
Impossible dream…

Impossible dream—
Or maybe someday questions
Finally answered…

Finally answered
So all may believe and know
What happened and when…

[Susan Sonnen]

What happened and when
remain unanswered; faces
seek truth in the stars.

[Bebbin]

Seek truth in the stars
Young traveler, what's it be?
Hurry, and depart!

[amuse]

Hurry and depart,
ne'er abating flames! I
wanna make a wish!

http://www.fotosearch.com/thumb/PHC/PHC001/200392676-001.jpg

[Pendragon]

wanna make a wish.
wish you all were somewhere near,
closer to my heart...

[kiz_paws]

Closer to my heart
all my dreams of yesteryear
closing in on me

[Janine]

Nice H Kiz,

Closing in on me;
Walls, persons screaming loudly;
Nightmare of our times.

[Bebbin]

Nightmare of our times
Overwhelms me like darkness
Close my eyes and breathe

[hyperinsomnia]

close my eyes and breathe
I can still recall your scent
and I still believe

[ktd222]

and I still believe
the musk reminds you of me,
or are you senseless?

[Bebbin]

Or are you senseless?
Have you a thought of what could
And could never be?

[atiguhya padma]

And could never be?
Always becoming, moulding,
Loved moving away

[Uncle Lar]

Loved moving away
at the sound of your Voice, so
bittersweet and calm.

[kiz_paws]

Bittersweet and calm
t'is the story of my life
I have few regrets

Thanks, Janine! ;)

[Uncle Lar]

I have few regrets,
yet life comes with challenges;
may I choose wisely!

[B-Mental]

may I choose wisely
the pathway of destiny
unfolds before me

[Uncle Lar]

Unfolds before me,
like a Lotus in bloom, the
Answer to Questions.

[zanna]

Answer to Questions
found in unlikely places:
ask into the wind.

[kiz_paws]

Ask into the wind
and ye shall find the answers
Though thought provoking

:wave: Hi Uncle Lar!

[ktd222]

Though thought provoking,
no, no, more like brain numbing
wishes from the wind

[Janine]

wishes from the wind,
stardrops and moonsnow, drifting
magically on velvet dreams.


*something different - I think I made up a few new words.

[quizzical]

magically, on velvet dreams
is the one place we may meet.
for now, solitude.

[toni]

For now, solitude.
awake at the wreckage of
your dreams at sunset


Welcome around, quizzical :wave:

[quizzical]

your dreams at sunset,
caramelized fantasy,
tis sweet illusion.

[hyperinsomnia]

'tis sweet illusion
That siezes me when it's dark
Nobody can see

Hi Quizzical :)

[quizzical]

nobody can see
that which they always yearn for.
unending desire.

[toni]

Unending desire
to see the burn of your eyes
that once poured black hate

[quizzical]

that once poured black hate.
now, reconciliation
renews harmony.

[Pendragon]

renews harmony—
retunes old guitar anew—
pleasant melody…

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/waiving_dragon.gif
Hiya, Quiz-Kid!

[Uncle Lar]

Pleasant melody
with divine harmony makes
beautiful music!

[Pensive]

Beautiful music
You hardly listen in days
When a war is up!

[Uncle Lar]

When a war is up,
and it involves my Country,
I feel for Soldiers.

[autolycus]

i feel for soldiers
where barracks stood are echoes
an army of ghosts

[Uncle Lar]

An army of Ghosts
may be subdued through prayer
and supernal means.

[littlewing53]

and supernal means
intangible touch to feel
with bare fingertips

[quizzical]

with bare fingertips
he carresses her bare back.
tender affection.

[littlewing53]

tender affection
she smiled to herself within
trusting only him

[Bebbin]

Trusting only him
The heart away with reason
In hopes to forever

[toni]

In hopes to forever,
I sing to these diamonds,
Waiting, for shadows

:alien: my muse has deserted me.

[hyperinsomnia]

in hopes to forever
forget what has been of late
put it behind her

[TurkeyBLT]

put it behind her
the pure affection of lies
and now she is free

[toni]

And now, she is free
From the chains and spiral suns,
I crawl from the night

[hyperinsomnia]

I crawl from the night
Stranger to dark passages
Pressing in on me

[Pendragon]

Pressing in on me
The weight of the entire world—
Or my own desires?

Or my own desires,
Trying to be all I can
Before it is time—

Before it is time,
Before I am ready, firm
Strong, out on my own

Strong, out on my own
Facing anything, everything—do
I have what it takes?

I have what it takes!
Never second-guess this man,
Firmly I will stand…

Firmly I will stand,
So if it is you and I
Against the whole world—

Against the whole world,
And all hell has broken loose—
Which side do you want?

[atiguhya padma]

Which side do you want?
My depth, dark nocturne island?
My surface of sky?

[Uncle Lar]

My surface of sky
is far and wide, containing
beautiful vistas!

[atiguhya padma]

Beautiful vistas
Said the brochure. But crowds of
Trees stare back at me

[Pendragon]

Trees stare back at me
Could one be an Ent disguised?
Middle Earth come real?

[Uncle Lar]

Middle Earth, come real!
Awaken all with Wisdom
and Wizardry now.

[Janine]

and Wizardry now,
Illustionist, Magician
plays his secret games.

[Outlander]

Plays his secret games
I coughed during the lake house
Oh Dear, chewables

[Pendragon]

Oh Dear, chewables—
Lord, I hate medications—
Stuck on them for life…

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

[Uncle Lar]

Stuck on them for life,
will not need them after death,
no more Prescriptions.

[Susan Sonnen]

No more prescriptions
written for my malady;
'tis no cure for love.

[Pendragon]

'tis no cure for love—
the madness embraces your heart,
and muddles your mind…

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

[Weeping Willow]

And muddles your mind
Like a whirlpool at sea
Sucking you deep down

[kiz_paws]

Sucking you deep down
your tainted retakes on life
oh when will you learn

[quizzical]

oh when will you learn,
exams are but two weeks away.
Procrastination.


(i actually do have exams in less than two weeks... *sigh*)

[Pendragon]

Procrastination,
In time has its own revenge—
Midgaurd Serpent’s Tail…


(for those not in the know, the Midgaurd Serpent grew so large it encircled the Earth (Midgaurd) and bites its own tail!)

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/world_spinning_1.gif

[zanna]

Midgaurd Serpent's Tail -
like my cell phone snake game . . . oop,
forgot about work! :)

[ejarg7]

Forgot about work!
but, who can blame me for that
i am but human

[Whifflingpin]

I am but human
with, in Hopkins' words, one part
immortal diamond

[Pendragon]

immortal diamond—
crystallized carbon shining—
once a lump of coal...

[Uncle Lar]

Once a lump of Coal,
now a beautiful Diamond,
a Human matures.

[AdoreroDio]

a human matures
as she opens her eyes to
the evil filled world

[Uncle Lar]

The evil-filled world
cannot last forever; it
can become reformed.

[kiz_paws]

Can become reformed
this heart that lives in the past
and thus can set sail

[Janine]

and thus can set sail...
we dream, floating in soft winds,
adrift with imagery.

Hi Kiz :-)

[ktd222]

adrift with imagery
the trapezoid cat chases
bumble bees away

[kiz_paws]

Adrift with imagery
the soft sea sings a nice song
and puts me to sleep

Hello there, Janine! :wave:

[kiz_paws]

Woot -- ktd222 has beat my posting, so I will reply to her nice haiku:

bumble bees away
I laugh at the strange image
that so beholds me
