Shared Haiku Game

[ajblaise]

Such riches reveal
the fruits of thy plundering
mistaken for waste

 

[INA]

Such riches reveal
hushed voices in the hallway
she stalks unashamed

 

[INA]

Such riches reveal
the fruits of thy plundering
mistaken for waste

Mistaken for waste
the slaughtered lambs are swept soft
into restless graves

 

[Salomé]

Mistaken for waste
Psychoanalytical
gold is often panned

EDIT
into restless graves
pale ghosts of our sibling souls
stumble over hot coals

 

[INA]

EDIT
into restless graves
pale ghosts of our sibling souls
stumble over hot coals

Stumble o'er hot coals
of unsatisfied desire
on your way to bliss

 

[Salomé]

on your way to bliss
stop to think of all the times
you hesitated

 

[INA]

you hesitated
and in one heavy moment
a kingdom was lost

 

[ajblaise]

A kingdom was lost
and a complex had begun
ready to conquer

 

[Salomé]

a kingdom was Lost
Seasons one and two were cool
the plot unraveled

EDIT
Ready to conquer
unwilling to compromise
what price for success?

 

[INA]

The plot unravelled
as did the bonny bodice
Gone is her honour

 

[ajblaise]

Gone is her honour
Raptured up in a bottle
like a lightning bug

 

[INA]

like a lightning bug
he shimmers white in the night
yet he dulls by day

 

[Salomé]

yet is dull by day
and crepuscularly grey
what a waste of space

 

[INA]

what a waste of space
the shiny massive forehead
Sir Brown's punching bag

 

[Salomé]

Sir Brown's punching bag:
In certain jurisdictions,
This counts as foreplay.

 

[INA]

This counts as foreplay
so you must deliver well
my little nymphet

 

[Salomé]

My little nymphet
whispers sweet somethings to me
yet I feel.....nothing

 

[INA]

yet I feel.....nothing
the poetaster's ardour
is swiftly rubbished

 

[Salomé]

is swiftly rubbished;
Yesterdays are so stubborn
and brittle as ice.

 

[ajblaise]

So quickly rubbished
Victims of nature's fury
Paves the road for me
