Shared Haiku Game

[Lux]

Five minute head start.
Oh no! Dogs are really fast.
Please don't eat my leg.

 

[BlueScreen]

Please don't eat my leg.
Why not try my head instead?
Less pain when I'm dead.

 

[Salomé]

Less pain when I'm dead.
To speak in tautologies
Is painful indeed.

 

[ergophobe]

Is painful in deed
Is painful in thought and word
Cruelty is painful.

 

[Unkindloving]

Cruelty is painful.
Thrashing on one's bare bones
Instead tread softly there

 

[BlueScreen]

Instead tread softly there,
walking lightly on the ground,
gently wandering.

 

[ajblaise]

Gently wandering
Crushing townspeople under
Each new step you take

 

[BlueScreen]

Each new step you take
means you take another step.
You move one step more.

 

[nim]

you move one step more.
i hold back, gently, frightened.
where will this end now?

 

[luminous beam]

Where will this end now?
Will I sink or will I swim?
To hope is to float.

 

[nim]

to hope is to float,
said the lifeguard so smoothly.
my mind screamed, unsafe.

 

[Salomé]

my mind screamed, unsafe
Mouth-gaping paralysis
Dizzy, jelly-limbed

 

[TopherRed]

Dizzy, jelly-limbed
But I managed to hold her
Her kiss sweet as wine

 

[Salomé]

Her kiss sweet as wine
Twice as intoxicating
Serpent-tongued Venus

 

[luminous beam]

serpent-tongued venus.
yes, satan is a woman.
i think i love her.

 

[Salomé]

I think I love her
But thought is not required here
with heaven so near

 

[TopherRed]

With heaven so near
Stars witness our drunkenness
Passion, Pleasure, Sky

 

[luminous beam]

passion, pleasure, sky
we rise to eternal bliss
romantic limbo.

 

[Salomé]

romantic limbo
erotic purgatory
bend over backwards

 

[luminous beam]

bend over backwards
for what i want to give you
inhale. close your eyes.
