Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

freshly sharpened tack
pierced my heart through and through
and you smiling there!

and you smiling there!
makes me want to pinch your cheeks
or at least kiss you

or at least kiss you
before you've gone off to war
pistol at your side

pistol at your side
but nobody to shoot at
what a war it is?

what a war it is
with children shooting other
children who shoot back

children who shoot back
in newspaper photochgraphs,
showing their worst side

Showing their worst side
in-laws acting like out-laws
oh, the shame of it ;)

forget and forgive,
let no bitter flood consume
your sweet lilting lips


where the hey'd that come from?

oh, the shame of it,
the stolen sliver kisses -
your whiteness breaks leaves

your sweet lilting lips~
siren song luring me to
scylla and charybdis

scylla and charybdis
would at least end the role of
sisyphus i play

Sisyphus i play
roll the rock up and then down
oh, this is madness!

oh, this is madness!
leery, I plunge into storm
I will die tonight

I will die tonight
if I can't have chocolate
then what will I dream?

then what will I dream
where will i find the rabbit
hole to fantasize?

hole to fantasize?
here is one inside this tree
crawl in here with me
