when curtain of life doth fall,
in unison life's voices call,
gone to judgement land
when curtain of life doth fall,
in unison life's voices call,
gone to judgement land
My hide hides the heart inside
(Sorry Pendragon)
March Hare's Unbirthday!
elongated ears sprouting,
fine, pink dainty cloth
My hide hides the heart inside
Fine, pink, dainty cloth
covering picnic table,
matches rosy cheeks.
Matches rosy cheeks
her brown sparkly blouse she got
from her aunt's luggage.
Hope this is good.Gee, my first Haiku!
Dream as though you'll live forever, live as though you'll die today (James Dean)
Very good, Downing!
From her aunt's luggage
she pulls an unopened gift -
her sweet face lights up!
her sweet face lights up,
the ship sails into harbor—
son back from the war…
To all everywhere who have sons and daughters in war around the world...
Peace on earth...

Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
Glad to see Downing on Haiku! Welcome my dear friend. Nice Haiku and I get it,too; the blouse your aunt gave you for your birthday...good.
Son back from the war…
Scarless outside, pure, untouched;
Deepest wounds within.
Amen - "Peace on Earth", not just at Christmas.
"It's so mysterious, the land of tears."
Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Deepest wounds within
My heart all spring from our love.

Hi Virgil
not an easy line to start with....
Cross sleep in cold bed,
Spread stark moon-rays, sudden fears
Haunt frozen bluish light.

Yes, getting back at you V....was hoping you'd be next....a real challenge...you did good!
Creepy crawlers climb,
The wall is slimy, wet slick;
Creatures make me sick!

Hahaha! Good one, Janine.
Creatures make me sick
When they pick at my eye balls.
They're beaks are so sharp.

Their beaks are so sharp
And their tallons rend my guts.
Got a light, Guv? Aargh!
Voices mysterious far and near,
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea,
Are calling and whispering in my ear,
Whifflingpin! Why stayest thou here?
Thanks Whiff, another difficult line![]()
Got a light, Guv? Aargh!
Wet cave wall reflects match glow,
My fears crawl on me.

my fears crawl on me,
like gaunt, odious sparrows,
to bring me further
