Just enter my eyes
Steal the beating heart within
I offer it all
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.
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
I offer it all
at least all that I can do,
beware of traitors
He said, 'she has a lovely face;
God in his mercy lend her grace
The Lady of Shalott.-Lancelot-Lady of Shallot
Beware of traitors
who sin against our soul, for
the may never learn
Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.
- Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
the may never learn
only to precede, alone,
attached to nothing
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.
- John Berryman
Attached to nothing
I am dust in violent wind
Dangling heartstrings

can trip you, so treat them like
weeds, pluck them away.
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
I actually couldn't think of any other way to take it.
though yours is genuinely clever, as usual
weeds, pluck them away
and brush ruby crawling foam
as you enter life.

god that one sucked
as you enter life
nudged ahead of what you know
remember it ends
and somehow a dog
has taken itself & its tail considerably away
into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
behind: me, wag.
- John Berryman
Remember it ends
Love is best in a moment
Afterwards, pure dust

don't say that! I didn't continue from your haiku because I knew I wouldn't do justice to it, even though I was really really tempted to...I was waiting for someone talented to do that...
skip me
I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but when I said "that one sucked" I meant my own; that in my opinion I could have done better.
these are just for fun, I don't think anyone should feel pressure that their haikus will be judged harshly. the point, for me, is just to practice and exercise my creativity. it's a fun game, that should be looked at thusly.
please, don't feel that you're not good enough to post.

Awesome, I like it! Hope you didn't feel like I was pointing at you, I was (in a fun way) bugging you?Thanks, Kiz. Sometimes I get in the mood to just disappear. I think singer Suzanne Vega sums up this feeling for me perfectly:
"If you want me
You can find me
Left of center
Off of the strip
In the outskirts
In the fringes
In the corner
Out of the grip"
Awww, craze, a misunderstanding! Your haiku is always fun and enjoyable to read and work from. IP is totally right -- this thread should just be a fun thread to practice our haiku skill. No one sits in judgement, and if they do, they need a life (sorry to insult but IP is right). Serious haiku can be made in another thread, the poetry section of the discussion board. OK, enough said -- to quote Bugs Bunny "and on with the show!"crazefest456 --don't say that! I didn't continue from your haiku because I knew I wouldn't do justice to it, even though I was really really tempted to...I was waiting for someone talented to do that...

Afterwards, pure dust
when all the crowds have gone home
a Boxing Day blitz
Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
~Albert Einstein
a Boxing Day blitz
left them tired and hungry
who would have thought that?
A bit that I wrote: Vanilla Ice Cream. Comments and critique welcomed! :-)
who would have thought that?
Who'd believe you're not mine?
Your heart betrays you!
