Shared Haiku Game

[WoodsWoman]

Interminable-
This waiting for a future
I know nothing of.

Watching and waiting-
Life continues to happen
Without my input,

And this is very good.
Surprises become blessings
Hope springs anew.

 

[Salomé]

Hope springs anew [leak]
Running down the street barefoot
Naked. Napalm cooled

 

[Ivy]

Naked. Napalm cooled
years ago but keloid scars
never go away.

(Haiku game took a turn for the serious dinnit?)

 

[WoodsWoman]

Never go away
These memories of past love
Remember always

But time keeps bringing
New thoughts memories and joys
Competing for space.

 

[Lux]

Competing for space
Out in the wilderness - Ouch
Venom in my leg

 

[ajblaise]

Venom in my leg
Two dollars in my pocket
It was a good day.

 

[WoodsWoman]

It was a good day
Then he died and I'm alone
How to carry on?

 

[BlueScreen]

How to carry on?
Death leaves us little comfort
in the times to come.

In the times to come,
I will be a smiley man;
now I have a frown.

 

[Salomé]

Now I have a frown
Not mad, just concentrated
To think is to drown

 

[INA]

To think is to drown
in waves of insight. Arise,
pluck pearls from yourselves.

 

[Salomé]

pluck pearls from yourselves
cast before possessed swineherd;
Let’s just hope they choke.

 

[ergophobe]

Let's just hope they choke
Those who know nothing of thirst
but much of water

As they recover
Let rain spread across dry lands
Not pity, kindness

 

[Salomé]

Not pity, kindness
Or perhaps just blindness? Let
the blind lead the blind

 

[INA]

Not pity, kindness
will win in any moral
rock paper scissors

drat.

Not pity, kindness
Or perhaps just blindness? Let
the blind lead the blind

the blind lead the blind
footsteps wander over cliffs
we meet the abyss

 

[Lexicon]

We meet the abyss
awakened; calm to the core-
the freedom of sight

 

[INA]

the freedom of sight
is imprisoned by slick masks -
these ornate facades

 

[brainheart]

The freedom of sight
burns autumn leaves, crisp edges
I laugh in the pile

Ah... crap.

These ornate facades
Ooze gilded color excess
Baroque don't fix it

 

[Lexicon]

I laugh in the pile
of my own scattered wreckage-
leave ashes behind.

 

[INA]

Baroque don't fix it
Architechtural ruins
leave ashes behind

 

[brainheart]

Leave ashes behind
