Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

HarryHoskins · Oct 15, 2011

tallest of our kind
cut - poppies are heroines.
Women, a banned high.

RyanLKing · Oct 16, 2011

Women, a banned high.
Addictive drug for some men.
Death for the others.

B.D. Eyeslie · Oct 16, 2011

Death for the others
lost in the candy corn maze.
I found a way out.

CDSinex · Oct 18, 2011

I found a way out—
Ripping open their cocoons,
butterflies unfurl.

Blarg · Oct 18, 2011

Butterflies unfurl
ancient scrolls dreamed into leaps
that rewrite the air.

HarryHoskins · Oct 18, 2011

that rewrite the air
great and thundering trumpets
Wagner's ring blows hard

RyanLKing · Oct 18, 2011

Wagner's ring blows hard,
Especially if you hate
German opera.

Blarg · Oct 19, 2011

German opera --
a contradiction in terms --
a mouse without feet.

B.D. Eyeslie · Oct 19, 2011

A mouse without feet
rolled across my dinner plate.
It kept on going.

HarryHoskins · Oct 19, 2011

It kept on going
waterfalled white porcelain
pebble dashed; no sleep

B.D. Eyeslie · Oct 21, 2011

Pebble dashed, no sleep;
winking rings across the lake
nudging the water.

Blarg · Oct 21, 2011

Nudging the water,
blue winds shoulder crops of waves --
a distant harvest.

RyanLKing · Oct 21, 2011

A distant harvest
Now becomes a cold winter
Until next summer.

CDSinex · Oct 21, 2011

Until next summer
the leaf bare trees stand silent—
Giant looming ghosts

B.D. Eyeslie · Oct 22, 2011

Giant looming ghosts
gather in the western sky.
Bring in the lawn chairs.

Blarg · Oct 22, 2011

Bring in the lawn chairs --
this time the guy beheaded
is just a neighbor.

RyanLKing · Oct 23, 2011

Is just a neighbor.
Peeking through hedges- all nosey.
Time to water them!

Kate Thornton · Oct 24, 2011

Time to water them
before they crisp into dust
their heads light as air

Blarg · Oct 24, 2011

Their heads light as air,
politicians rest them in
hands used to no weight.

B.D. Eyeslie · Oct 25, 2011

Hands, used to no weight,
know waiting impatiently ...
all for attention.

CDSinex · Oct 25, 2011

All for attention
the geese honk as they fly by—
leaving me behind.

B.D. Eyeslie · Oct 26, 2011

Leaving me behind
even though I shed my soul
as none before me

Blarg · Oct 26, 2011

As none before me,
so none behind -- this moment
tips on its own brink.

Kate Thornton · Oct 26, 2011

tips on its own brink
tentative lilac thinking
too late to blossom?

Perscribo · Oct 26, 2011

Too late to blossom,
a bud bends backwards and snaps
in the freezing wind.
