Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

jaus tail · Feb 23, 2016

You done wore me out.
I'm tired of your tantrums
but i still love you!!

kkbe · Feb 23, 2016

But I still love you.
Despite all, I do and shall.
Hence, love conquers all.

jaus tail · Feb 23, 2016

'hence love conquers all,'
said i to the teacher who
had caught me copying

B.D. Eyeslie · Feb 25, 2016

...Caught me copying
snow on the pavement in March--
melting before you

Cyia · Feb 25, 2016

Melting before you
Shimmering angels of ice
With their wings broken

jaus tail · Feb 26, 2016

with their wings broken
the sparrows fell in the sea
transformed to fishes

B.D. Eyeslie · Feb 26, 2016

transformed to fishes,
they were caught, filleted, and smoked.
not what they hoped for.

jaus tail · Feb 26, 2016

not what they hoped for
the kids cheered as pops arrived
with toys and presents

kkbe · Feb 28, 2016

...with toys and presence,
befitting a guy in
a sooted red suit...

CDSinex · Feb 28, 2016

A sooted red suit—
a prison work crew fighting
a hillside brush fire.

kkbe · Feb 29, 2016

A hillside brush fire.
Our divorce. Both effective,
purging dead debris.

Teena · Feb 29, 2016

purging dead debris
letters, ribbons, programs, you
start with a clean slate

CDSinex · Feb 29, 2016

Start with a clean slate—
this freshly tilled garden must
wait for warmer nights

zarada · Feb 29, 2016

wait for warmer nights;
ice air cuts through like a knife,
splits arrows apart.

kkbe · Mar 1, 2016

Splits arrows apart.
(Precision is required
for those named Cupid.)

zarada · Mar 1, 2016

for those named Cupid
i toast my merciless heart
bled out, harrowed through

kkbe · Mar 2, 2016

Bled out, harrowed through,
hallowed be thy name or like-
words to that effect.

Perscribo · Mar 4, 2016

words to that effect
evoke effusions that waft
my heart's nostalgia

jaus tail · Mar 7, 2016

my heart's nostalgia
bars the entry to future.
past is all i have.

kkbe · Mar 7, 2016

Past is all I have:
miasma, fisted tight; a
bitter, hopeless cause.

jaus tail · Mar 13, 2016

bitter, hopeless... cause
there's rat poison in your cake
the one you just ate

kdnxdr · Mar 15, 2016

the one you just ate
last bite before you are gone
taste like non other

kkbe · Mar 16, 2016

Taste like non other:
that first piquantesque drop of
rain on a parched tongue.

jaus tail · Mar 16, 2016

rain on a parched tongue
can't wipe out years of fungus
that have destroyed it

Xelebes · Mar 16, 2016

that have destroyed it
not that that nor this that that
but that that that that
