Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

William E. Harlan · Jun 6, 2013

Magnified aqua.
Marine life swaying in waves.
I'm a dusty rock.

susanielson · Jun 6, 2013

I'm a dusty rock
lookin' for a little moss
to have and to hold.

kkbe · Jun 6, 2013

to have and to hold
her. lost, he slips inside her
midsummer night's dream.

William E. Harlan · Jun 6, 2013

Midsummer night's dream.
The leaves had started to fall.
It was a nightmare.

Helix · Jun 6, 2013

It was a nightmare,
galloping roughshod through my
imagination

William E. Harlan · Jun 6, 2013

Imagination.
It's the pride of the artist.
The fault of the slave.

zanzjan · Jun 8, 2013

The fault of the slave
is not resenting the chains,
but not seeing them.

William E. Harlan · Jun 8, 2013

But not seeing them,
Placing his full weight down hard,
Stepped on the Legos.

Helix · Jun 8, 2013

Stepped on the Legos ---
throughout life, those plastic blocks
make deep impressions

B.D. Eyeslie · Jun 10, 2013

Make deep impressions
though the Haiku must suffer.
Find that catchy phrase.

kkbe · Jun 10, 2013

Find that catchy phrase.
Elusive. An exclusive.
Everything's for sale.

William E. Harlan · Jun 10, 2013

Everything's for sale.
Who'll buy pieces of my time?
Liquidating life.

B.D. Eyeslie · Jun 11, 2013

Liquidating life,
one memory at a time--
words at a discount

kkbe · Jun 11, 2013

Words at a discount.
Integrity, bought and sold.
Read all about it.

red · Jun 11, 2013

read all about it
from sunset to fading night
dream stealing darkness

William E. Harlan · Jun 11, 2013

Dream stealing darkness.
Dream taking my emptiness,
And making it thought.

Kate Thornton · Jun 16, 2013

And making it thought
Sounded so easy to me
Until my brain stopped

William E. Harlan · Jun 16, 2013

Until my brain stopped,
I was a regular guy.
Now I'm a zombie.

Helix · Jun 17, 2013

Now I'm a zombie.
I was a cockroach until
the wasp grub hatched out.

onestepp · Jun 17, 2013

The wasp grub hatched out
large given wings extended
puberty escape

William E. Harlan · Jun 17, 2013

Puberty escape.
Curly hairs everywhere.
My voice is different.

kkbe · Jun 18, 2013

My voice is different.
That's my story, anyway.
I'm sticking to it.

Helix · Jun 18, 2013

I'm sticking to it.
Never again upholster
the seats with Velcro

William E. Harlan · Jun 18, 2013

The seats with Velcro.
Do the pants have hooks or loops?
Captive audience.

zanzjan · Jun 18, 2013

Captive audience:
Four a.m., work tomorrow,
your book in my hands.
