Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi Kiz :-)

adrift with imagery
the trapezoid cat chases
bumble bees away

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

Hello there, Janine! :wave:

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

All of the Haiku's since mine have been lovely. Hi Kiz and Ktd222!

that so beholds me
each time in it's hypnotic
grasp and seduction.

grasp and seduction
and unrobed, a vast black with a
spinning, golden jewel

spinning, golden jewel
lay between her ivory breasts;
amulet of love.

amulet of love
saved for when this world loses
its love for living

Its love for living
Has slowly disappeared, gone
Now replaced by hate

Now replaced by hate
This love vanished like anything
What have we got now?

What have we got now?
Aloe for sunburn. but
this beach has no shade.

This beach has no shade,
therefore, I will run in the
Sun and enjoy life!

Sun and enjoy life—
Professional tanner now—
And I know toasted!

And I know toasted,
racked by flame-hot filament,
spread with cooling jam.

Hmmm..I'm not quite sure
What this hand should be writing
I have writers block

I have writer's block
due to stress, yet I'm sure it
won't last forever.

won't last forever
this feeling of loneliness
that permeates me

that permeates me -
that sick fear I had before;
dreams to blackened moons.

dreams to blackened moons
and sticky still air, Ted thought
the moon of Betty

the moon of betty
slashing milk swirls on my cheek,
and chalking marble

Mine got skipped. I'm sad.

the moon of Betty
wan poised until approaching
Earth's kiss, growing red.


too slow.

and chalking marble,
smooth finger traces in dust
as stone skin crawls not.

as stone skin crawls not,
sun sets intoxicated
death while waves spew black

death while waves spew black
smoke reflected skies, singed clouds
crawl oil covered.

crawl oil covered,
gutters ousing with blue rain,
Slick swirls, luminous.

slick swirls, luminous
light flickers from the candles
and glances smolder.

and glances smolder
like little flames flickering
fancies to tame life

Fancies to tame life
Consumerism sedates
Death to the living

Death to the living.
One more certainty: taxes.
So death and taxes

So death and taxes—
Inevitable Duo—
Lurk behind us all…

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...ane/Voodoo.gif

Lurk behind us all,
Death and Darkness, yet the Light
will overcome you.

Will overcome you
Dissolving skin in sunshine,
Masticating bone.

Masticating bone,
Slavering bloodstained jowls drip—
Werewolves high feast night…

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l1...ne/Wolfman.gif

Werewolves' high feast night
tonight; a lot of blood will
be dripping, all right.

Be dripping all right,
My lover? We'm butterless,
But toast wun be dry.
