Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

Each one a lifetime
with a unique story to tell
but no one listens.

madaddicted · Oct 6, 2010

But no one listens
When the young one speaks the truth
They'll learn the hard way

Kate Thornton · Oct 6, 2010

they'll learn the hard way
i smile again and wonder
there's another way?

MidlifeMark · Oct 6, 2010

There's another way
to put this thing together;
read the directions.

kdnxdr · Oct 8, 2010

read the directions
you can go only one way -
the forever path

onestepp · Oct 10, 2010

The forever path
road never taken, explored
joyous memories.

Mystakaphoros · Oct 13, 2010

Joyous memories'
instant incineration
as the house goes up.

MidlifeMark · Oct 13, 2010

As the house goes up
and the family moves in,
no more open field.

madaddicted · Oct 15, 2010

No more open field
A mind cluttered with anger
Seek peace to create

onestepp · Oct 15, 2010

Seek peace to create
erase painful beginnings
dreams painted picture

A. Hamilton · Oct 15, 2010

dreams painted picture
firepit of oaken blaze
embers cool to coal

MidlifeMark · Oct 16, 2010

embers cool to coal
eventually to ash
and then blow away

madaddicted · Oct 16, 2010

And then blow away
skipping gently on wind's path
Until winter comes

kdnxdr · Oct 16, 2010

until winter comes,
pretend; act like you love me
forever, ever

Kate Thornton · Oct 17, 2010

forever, ever
and a day or so he said
lying through his teeth

kdnxdr · Oct 17, 2010

lying through his teeth
looking like a car's front grill
all chrome, full of bugs

Kate Thornton · Oct 18, 2010

all chrome, full of bugs
it's just a cage they all said
full of butterfies

onestepp · Oct 18, 2010

full of butterflies
convervatory study
creations timeless.

Teena · Oct 18, 2010

creations timeless
handed down generations
for memory fails

Kate Thornton · Oct 20, 2010

for memory fails
try this bitter medecine
no cure is promised

CDSinex · Oct 21, 2010

No cure is promised.
Fall hardens into winter—
Most of life is gone.

kdnxdr · Oct 21, 2010

most of life is gone
when there's nothing to enjoy
find your life's pleasure

Kate Thornton · Oct 22, 2010

find your life's pleasure
here you know how to do it
slowly, grasshopper

Teena · Oct 23, 2010

slowly, grasshopper
prepares for winter among
embers of autumn
