Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Searching for a home
Refugees lurk in hotels
Avoiding police.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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! :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Riding on the breeze
As I escaped from Chile
To Argentina

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

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

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

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

Pistol in pocket
won't make them give you money
Point it, silly.

:p

:wave:

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

a cougar is around
warn your children and elders
everyone wary
