    Oh, so sorry Janine and Laind!
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Well, I think you messed up - you used my first line and not my last line. I will go from here using your last line since I am middle-aged

    Crushed with middle age
    She bend to her endless woe
    Alone and forlorn

    oh, no i didnt accidentally use your first line. we must have been creating our haikus simultaneously, and i posted a couple minutes later. i do that fairly often...i probably take way too much time writing one haiku that i dont press refresh to see if anyone has already written for that one. But thanks for keeping mine!!
    Beautfil haiku by the way

    Alone and forlorn
    Left to scream at concrete walls
    Feelings like a leech

    Thanks for the compliment, and BTW I love your Avatar. I still can't decide on one. I think that has happened to me before on other threads - posting same time as someone else. I try to do the haiku spontaneously but I am slow too.

    Feelings like a leech
    I cling to the stem
    Life circles round me

    correct me if I'm wrong, but I do think that last line is 6 syllabels.
    Anyway rock on

    Yes indeed you are. I'm so very proud. Maybe a good way to do it would be just to copy and paste the instructions found on the first post in this thread?



    But could I care less?

    "The only bad haiku is the one not written." How are you toni?


    Defy gravity

    Have some weightless sex.

    Are you 20-ish 30-ish 40-ish or 50-ish?

    It's not that I don't mind your asking, it's just that I don't like to think of myself as an "ish."



    Time will transport us
    Back to the dissolution
    Of our former love.

    Well, I try my best . . . I don't want to be tricky or anything, but I'm sure you can get a gist of my age from reading posts of mine. Maybe someday I'll tell you in a PM.
