oops sorry dyr I didn't see your post till after I posted mine ;)
Towards the dumpster
The lines of dust twist and twirl
Residue of waste
*let's pick up from dyrwen's line for this next one - he doesn't post here often.
gather the shards please
these shattered illusions rain
debris down like glass
debris down like glass
broken and raw jutting chunks
dare to tear the flesh
Dare to tear the flesh
Because I feel no pain here
Set me free from this

Set me free from this

must the game endure

your win over it ?
better it is for it to change than being defeated over and over
I'd like to start with your last line, Avid Reader, but I'm too rule-bound to do so.
So I'm going to start with Isagel's last line, and try and work some of your last line into my last line. Anyway here goes:
Must the game endure?
compete or co-operate?
better change defeat
Better change defeat
Into a timely lesson
Love amongst ruins

crushed bones and words smolder still

Scattered ashes, a future

That amniotic feeling

Wakes from his morning dream state
Into controlled dreams

from our suppressed memories
of the little death
Of the little death

I sing. Let it go.
I sing: Let it go!!
Open the gates of past pain
Let it fly skywards
let it fly skywards;
this balloon soars to the heights
of merlins and dreams.
Of merlins and dreams
IŽll sing you a lullaby

Hi all. Just a few notes, with a very overdue welcome to a few of you.
Welcome! :)
Also, we try to conform to a 5-7-5 (the 1st and 3rd lines have 5 syllables; the 2nd line has 7) syllabic structure for this haiku thread. When translating from the Japanese to the English, it isn't always possible to do, and may be a haiku without adhering to those strictures, but for general purposes we're a-tryin'.
*liked the direction the last post was headed in, btw
Thanks for the reminder amuse :D As some of you have maybe noticed this (haiku) is one form of poetry I can handle :p I'm gonna start with a new one.
flattered and happy
pleased to see so many here

Lyrically we learn of love
Synergy weaving.

Like threads of plaited thunder
Doth smote thine fair breast
*like the phrase "plaited thunder"
doth smote thine fair breast
he said - caught me to his dear
mouth, kissed me and died
*oh dear i feel like a ***** now with such a last line as that!
mouth, kissed me and died
eyes spoke of love and then closed
arms embracing loss.
arms embracing loss
loss fastening around as a parasite , slowly
sucking life , away
Sucking life away
Time and space displace our lives
Wayward in quicklime
Wayward in quicklime
Petty petty axes of strife fell
Mighty trees of love
Mighty trees of love
Freely giving oxygen
Which is why we breathe
Mighty trees of love,
reaching upward to embrace;
felled by biting axe.
damnation again. nevermind me :p
Felled by biting axe
My ghost vows never again
To eat of that blade
To eat of that blade,
I chase after you blindly,
Speared through by your eyes.
Speared through by your eyes
His heart bled love , then lust
Fire begets fire.
Fire begets fire
In the humours of the heart
Melancholy mind
