Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

Paint · Sep 1, 2006

gun's barrel is cold
tucked safely in my waistband
devils brew awaits

crashbam · Sep 1, 2006

Devils brew awaits
Rejoice! Celebrate labor.
Mourn the summer past.

A. Hamilton · Sep 1, 2006

mourn the Summer past
cut the deadwood prune the sage
prepare Winter's tomb

Shiraz · Sep 1, 2006

Prepare Winter's tomb
with a blanket of white snow
Then, fly me to Greece

Kate Thornton · Sep 1, 2006

Then, fly me to Greece
a white temple in the sun
Aphrodite's breath

Soccer Mom · Sep 1, 2006

Aphrodite's breath
creates ripples on the lake
and rustles the trees.

K1P1 · Sep 1, 2006

and rustles the trees,
the sun says of the south wind
how else can they dance?

Godfather · Sep 2, 2006

how else can they dance?
all movement is dancing, so
don't kill the music

K1P1 · Sep 2, 2006

don't kill the music
it's the rhythm that takes me
far beyond myself

Godfather · Sep 2, 2006

far beyond myself,
far beyond truth, compromise
there is a woman

K1P1 · Sep 2, 2006

there is a woman
and of course there is a cat
so where oh where is the man?

Godfather · Sep 2, 2006

just to clarify, friend. in the chain, we try to stick to the 5-7-5 format, to make it easier.

so if its cool, i'll trim this down.

so where is the man?
is he out being a man?
or is he just not

Paint · Sep 2, 2006

or is he just not
climbing the rock face today?
missing in the wild.

Godfather · Sep 2, 2006

missing in the wild.
he built a nice log cabin,
but paid no mortgage

K1P1 · Sep 2, 2006

Just to clarify: Of course it is. I just screwed up my final edit. It was supposed to be:

there is a woman
and of course there is a cat
so where is the man?

How clever of you to figure out my true intent!

K1P1 · Sep 2, 2006

but paid no mortgage
leased a castle in the air
the rent was worth it

WriterUnboxed · Sep 2, 2006

the rent was worth it
'cause the cat couldn't find him
though the woman could

K1P1 · Sep 2, 2006

though the woman could
she hesitated too long
impossible now

WriterUnboxed · Sep 2, 2006

Impossible now
Or so say the tarot cards
Dictating her fate

K1P1 · Sep 2, 2006

Dictating her fate
beyond her comprehension
secret forces work

Ganesha · Sep 2, 2006

secret forces work
revealing all, old woman
listens to the wind

Godfather · Sep 3, 2006

listens to the wind,
listens to movement, people
he listens to words

K1P1 · Sep 3, 2006

he listens to words
hears rushing wind and singing
but sees only stars

Cath · Sep 3, 2006

but sees only stars
from his home in the gutter
and tries to reach them

K1P1 · Sep 3, 2006

and tries to reach them
longs desperately to help
they stream past too fast
