"You are such a jerk"
Why does everyone say that?
Blue waves ripple beach
sifting memories
through filters of learned response
change only what's known
omg i did it again? :mad:
*mental note: dont just refresh open pages to get caught up!*
blue waves ripple beach
the sunshine state looks better
from the tailight light
from the tailight light
glimpse of scorpions scuttling
towards my barefeet
towards my barefeet
expectations seep and drip
dance of avoidance
dance of avoidance
dancing as fast as I can
a whirling dervish
a whirling dervish
my mind like maria. chem
finals loomweave swerve
like maria = ref to snd of music :)
Finals loom weave swerve
I'm blissfully free on this
Chilly diamond day
chilly diamond day
shines blinding, aching iris
eyes crying softly
eyes crying softly
the moment, the dense powder
of snow slips away
I take it that Verybaddmom is really into this haiku.
of snow slips away
new seasons run to new time
one man's junk you know
and what makes you say that? ;)
one man's junk you know
buried behind the basement
dried apples from spring
"and what makes you say that?" Well, you're always contributing. Where's your signature from? It rings a bell but I can't place it.
Dried apples from spring
That were not useful to me
But the squirrel liked
But the squirrel liked
the fallen, shiny acorns
foggy once again
foggy once again
the path obscured by brambles
feel the way from here
feel the way from here
way onto the the left ridge
foggy once again
foggy once again
blurry, and cant see the path
trip and fall, face first
very clever :)
as far as the quote, its an "unknown author" one; although i've had many debates over its origins, no one can conclusively claim it.
Foggy once again
Breathless. Mist yields to pine tips
On the distant shore.
:) hey verybaddmom, you beat me to it!
trip and fall, face first
across slippery driftwood
into the cold lake
hehe no worries Riesa, both your haiku were very good :D
into the cold lake
throw worries and cares, let go
let them sink in deep
let them sink in deep
settle down with the leeches
worries, cares--suck, too
Thanks, verybaddmom! I like yours too. :nod:
Worry, Cares--suck too.
Take your clue from clear shallows
And empty your mind.
and empty your mind
out! false assumptions, and guilt
learn new ways to live
Learn new ways to live
And change your outlook of life
Let us start anew
Let us start anew
leave your crimes and deep regrets
at New Years coat check
At New Year's coat check
the falling baloons, the lost
ticket, the sad dream
Actually all the last few players here are outstanding; I hope I'm keeping up with you all. It's been a while since I've attempted poetry.
Virgil, if I'm one of the players you refer to, Thanks. don't worry about keeping up, all you gotta do is just keep posting!
Ticket, the sad dream
Wake, but for the ghost of you
The room is empty.
The room is empty
No one is here, in this house.
Set the mouse aside
set the mouse aside
the rooster and the eagle
prance and sing and hunt
prance and sing and hunt
fallow field, hunger gnaws, sharp eye
Catches the viper
Catches the viper
with swift, nimble fingertips
starry skies, quiet night
starry skies, quiet night
across the way, lights come on
a coyote howls
a coyote howls
some tumble weed and cactus
across the dirt road
across the dirt road,
bicycle tracks lead around
the lightning split oak
the lightning split oak
over the rise, out of sight
drawing me forward
Drawing me forward
Anticipating the storm
Dark forms, acid rain.
Dark forms, acid rain
restrains visibility
Sours my vista.
Sours my vista
Affected by the chilling air
Lurid lips breathe frost.
Lurid lips breathe frost
Shiver, infect, now protect
Hands are warm again.
Cold, crisp, frosty air
Snow, icicles, kids laughing
Perfect for snowballs
