    if you like bacon
    on eggs, I might make your day
    start with crisp sunshine
    .
    ...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.

    When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.

    But whatever happened to building a haiku from my last line?

    Anyway... to continue with the last:

    Need steak for dinner...
    They still let you window-shop,
    if you're born a waif.

    If you look like a banshee
    don't go to bazaar!

    Don't go to bazaar.
    Those colors that bedazzle,
    tincture the night red.

    dewdrops make virgin
    rosebuds bloom in the morning
    into roses sweet.

    MazHur, you're supposed to be building up your haiku from the last one (that is, the first line of your haiku should be the last line of the last haiku).

    Dews caress one rose.
    Roses brew one drop in four-
    letter word for all.

    Nobody listens to me
    This is the Shared Haiku thread, meaning that my haiku's first line has to be the last line of the last poster's haiku. For example, since the last haiku ended with "letter word for all", my haiku is the following:

    Letter word for all
    they are worth, could not carry
    the melancholy
    .
    ...the smell of flowers through metal labyrinths.

    Symphony is correct. If there isn't already a thread for random haikus, one can be started.

    The melancholy
    Makes me feel very profound
    Depression is deep
    You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Mahatma Gandhi

    Depression is deep
    Pain's even deeper inside
    my heart's no more mine!

    my heart's no more mine
    It has been to the wild sea
    and shall reach to thee
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    and (I )shall reach (to) thee
    with a garland of roses
    hand-picked from garden.
