Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

Set me free from this
- the one who enters the game
must the game endure

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

love amongst ruins
crushed bones and words smolder still
in these burnt banned books

In these burnt banned books
Scattered ashes, a future
Healing of Europe

Healing of Europe
creates ripples of joy in which
swimming I enjoy

Swimming I enjoy
That amniotic feeling
Holistic monist

Holistic monist
Wakes from his morning dream state
Into controlled dreams

into controlled dreams
from our suppressed memories
of the little death

Of the little death
each second, each hour brings
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
I´ll sing you a lullaby
my restless poet

my restless poet
return to the earth
born again
