Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

It's a misnomer

The first day of spring is not found

in time, but in mind.

PrettySpecialGal · Apr 4, 2006

ooooh, this is a toughy!

in time, but in mind
the great regulator ticks
are my dreams for real?

poetinahat · Apr 4, 2006

are my dreams for real?
I'm naked - no! underwear -
are you the teacher?

kdnxdr · Apr 4, 2006

it's a misnomer
to place time in the present
stopping for no man

kdnxdr · Apr 4, 2006

stopping for no man
these boots were made for walking
until there was you

PrettySpecialGal · Apr 4, 2006

until there was you
I stood alone at the bar
Now we are two friends

poetinahat · Apr 4, 2006

You can't ignore me twice!

Now we are two friends
you make me feel smarter - hey!
are you the teacher?

Stew21 · Apr 4, 2006

are you the teacher?
I am your willing pupil.
help me learn, I'll grow.

kdnxdr · Apr 4, 2006

help me learn, I'll grow
innocence pled with teacher
victim of deceit

Pat~ · Apr 4, 2006

victim of deceit
flees the crumbling house built on
a cracked foundation

poetinahat · Apr 4, 2006

a cracked foundation
betrays her to younger men
take it on the chin

brokenfingers · Apr 4, 2006

Take it on the chin
and plow ahead through the rush,
facing life head on.

Stew21 · Apr 4, 2006

facing life head on.
as if there's another way.
can't go bass-ackwards

brokenfingers · Apr 4, 2006

Can't go bass-ackwards
down the road of life my friend -
nor keep your head down.

PrettySpecialGal · Apr 4, 2006

nor keep your head down,
but keep it upright looking
at your teacher's face

A. Hamilton · Apr 4, 2006

at your teacher's face
spitwad projected forward
next is consequence

kdnxdr · Apr 4, 2006

next is consequence

payment of wrong decisions

learning by mistake

Stew21 · Apr 4, 2006

learning by mistake.
I've been there a time or two
Next time: wear helmet.

A. Hamilton · Apr 4, 2006

next time: wear helmet
but be sure to bring a brush
you will have hat-hair

poetinahat · Apr 4, 2006

you will have hat-hair
they tease about my screen name
so the hat stays on

A. Hamilton · Apr 4, 2006

so the hat stays on
so the mask remains in place
such a character

ddgryphon · Apr 4, 2006

Such a character
lolling by the water's edge
string tied upon toes

kdnxdr · Apr 4, 2006

string tied upon toes
tinkle of bells as she goes
my gypsey princess

poetinahat · Apr 4, 2006

my gypsy princess
sweetly buys with my money
a new crown of thorns

kdnxdr · Apr 4, 2006

a new crown of thorns
purple robes for a mocked king
His legacy lives
