Shared Haiku Game

[INA]

the cemetery
preternaturally bright
In death you still shine

 

[Salomé]

In death you still shine
Like magnesium oxide
Go out with a bang!

 

[Lexicon]

Go out with a bang!
Shockwaves of supernovas
spanning through aeons.

 

[INA]

Go out with a bang!
Grab that buff lad by the wang
Then manhandle him.

again!

spanning through aeons
men's folly as mere minions
Matter is supreme.

 

[Salomé]

Matter is supreme?
Nay, just compressed energy
E=mc²

 

[INA]

E=mc²
fancy, but six syllables
The quibblers care

 

[Ivy]

The quibblers care
Is it quib-lers or quib-buh-lers?
Oops, eight syllables.

 

[Salomé]

The quibblers care
That's why I likes to break rules
Fuck them all, say I!

 

[INA]

Oops, eight syllables
Haiku jail for my troubles.
Fuck them all, say I.

 

[ergophobe]

"Fuck them all, say I"
Quipped quibblers, losing sight of
forest for peccadillo trees

 

[BlueScreen]

"Forest for peccadillo trees"!
Their fruit among my favourites
brings the spice to life.

 

[ergophobe]

I.
Until the chef disposes,
bringing spice to life,
mere twig, bud or leaf

II.
Crunched under swift walking feet.
Mere twig, bud, leaf or
heralds of seasons?

 

[BlueScreen]

Heralds of seasons
lie slaughtered in the desert.
Blame global warming.

 

[WoodsWoman]

Blame global warming
For this heat beneath my skin
This rising desire?

 

[Lux]

This rising desire?
Ice and fire, pearls of thought
Hoping to stand still

 

[Lexicon]

Hoping to stand still
grasp this singular moment
living in the past

 

[WoodsWoman]

living in the past
is no longer possible
survival is now

 

[ergophobe]

Survival is now
Scream billboards in the city
Live well or at all?

Live well or at all.
Having your cake and eating it,
delusion or choice?

 

[mintchip]

Delusion or choice
To which do I owe my fate?
Flip a coin and hope

 

[WoodsWoman]

Flip a coin and hope
That today will be different
Yesterday was dark
