Shared Haiku Game

[Oom]

Of ev'ry other,
friendship is the same for all,
skewed are the borders

 

[ajblaise]

Skewed are the borders
Something went terribly wrong
Where do I belong?

 

[Salomé]

Where do I belong?
Where the trees whisper of their
private fantasies.

 

[ajblaise]

Private fantasies
Fall from a dream and grasp life
Holding tightly on

 

[Salomé]

Holding tightly on
To your split infinitive,
Let us boldly go!

 

[ajblaise]

Let us boldly go
hold hands and enter deep space
Aimless and content

 

[Clownmaster]

Aimless and content
Your addiction is a bitch
You're oblivious.

 

[Salomé]

Aimless and content
is goal enough it seems, for
ripples in the stream

----

You're oblivious
the tragicomic opus
of inverted smiles

 

[ajblaise]

Ripples in the stream
expand to wrinkles in time
No one seems to mind

 

[INA]

of inverted smiles
and perverse shenanigans
the bard speaks a while

 

[Clownmaster]

the bard speaks awhile
while lighting up his cigar
then stories unfold

 

[Salomé]

then stories unfold
from cauterized memories
anguished lines evolve

 

[INA]

anguished lines evolve
and do not conceal torn seams.
How things fall apart!

 

[ajblaise]

How things fall apart!
A bloated King goes unfed
The slaves sought new ground

 

[Salomé]

The slaves sought new ground
A promised land of honey
All they found were chains

 

[INA]

all they found were chains
and other gaudy baubles
made of red copper

 

[Salomé]

made of red copper
and super-heated amber
furnace of her eyes

 

[INA]

furnace of her eyes
its flames devoured him whole
and left molten ash

 

[ajblaise]

and left molten ash
which fostered him back to life
To endure her scorn

 

[Salomé]

and left molten ash
upon consideration
perhaps a mite rash?

----

To endure her scorn
He would gladly be reborn
Men are idiots.
