Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

And all that is sick
can be touched by the healing
that love can offer


Ha ha, that was fun MazHur, but time for me to say goodnite! :) Kizzo

that love can offer
cannot be compared to what's
in material world

in material world
one uses human hair for
exfoliating skin.

exfoliating skin,
said to make one look younger--
foolish vanity...

foolish vanity
offers momentary rest
the seeing mirror

the seeing mirror
only sees inside of you
the only true you

The only true you
lies hidden - waiting for what
you need to trust me

you need to trust me
I am a non-living thing
I am a statue !

i am a statue,
waiting for art to lower
its ropes to take me

Its ropes to take me
were my hopes and dreams you see
and my own free will

and my own free will
is just like a pussy cat
with a meowing face

oh that's a good one!

and my own free will
a boy returning petals
to a stem, freely

With a meowing face
the Mardi Gras commences
smell the Roux cooking...

smell the Roux cooking...
the Gumbo 's getting ready
prepare for the bite

smell the Roux cooking
then the ravishment of imagination
it's time to indulge!

it's time to indulge
moments will evaporate
if we ponder much!

If we ponder much
the time for doing will die
keep the flames alive

keep the flames alive,
"Is this what's on my inside?"
said the artistman

Said the artistman
no words needed, just brushes
as we mutely gaped

as we mutely gaped
a fly went into his mouth
and laid her eggs there!

And laid her eggs there --
or could they have been ideas
waiting to be hatched...!

waiting to be hatched...!
the earth harried and swirled, her
face in the water.

face in the water
Narcissus saw his image
fell in love with it

fell in love with it
the tangerine twang in clouds~
when milk is what's served

when milk is what's served
feel as if you're in Denmark
meat and milk free state

Meat and milk free state
Illegal products while here?
I am moving on...

I am moving on...
where on earth are you going
milk and meat are here!

Milk and meat are here,
I haven't dreamed for ages,
that they'd be right here.

That they'd be right here
oh, I didn't realize
they protected me

they protected me
of all the imperfections
for my innocence

for my innocence
light a spark, rail heretic
in dark held by walls.

in dark held by walls
claustrophobia kills me
there is no. way. out.

There is no way out
might as well get acquainted
me myself and I

there is no. way. out.
so. let me. write my oprah
of self-pity: O'

me myself and I
squeeze in infinite circles
of self-pity: O'

of self-pity: O'
that I could perfect myself
and ride with the wind

[Very crafty, Il Penseroso, thanks for combining the two!] :)

not a problem, kiz. :)

and ride with the wind
in landscapes churning with change
sleeping through the night.

Sleeping through the night
filling my head with colours
of un-ending dreams

of un-ending dreams
is made this bright moonlit night
haunted by the day

haunted by the day
and by the darkness of night
haunted by it all
