Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

escapes the ransom
hoodwinks the mercenary
conquers the victim

conquers the victim
everything as it should be
the trial behind

the trial behind
this sentence was such a farce
even ravens blushed

even ravens blushed
to think of plucking from her
face those golden eyes


-Michelle (eww)

face those golden eyes,
hear the howling on the hill
Lord, the mighty wolf

lord, the mighty wolf
wears cloth of lamb yet bellows
still for blood of man


-Michelle

still for blood of man
justice cries but drying tears
all is forgiven

all is forgiven.
still holding on to your guilt -
we travel apart

we travel apart,
photographs of each other,
our one connection

his silent treatment
it is immature, and just.
the victims deserve

girl, eh?
i should say count them again, boy seems like six in that last line methinks.

the victims deserve
sweet revenge, should they want it
a head for a head

the victims deserve
to reclaim their innocence
with water, not blood

a head for a head
the rider cries joyfully -
never mind your mind

sometimes I have a hard time figuring out how many syllables are in a word, I have dyslexia...is there a way to check it without having to look up every word in the snail dictionary?
is there anything on line to help?

never mind your mind
it goes headless and I am
mind-full of body

mind full of body
consumed with pain and fatigue
his first marathon


Ganesha,

The quick way I check syllables is by using www.answers.com. Put the word you are interested in after the http://www.answers.com/yourword and it brings up a dictionary entry for your word with syllable breakdown.

For example, http://www.answers.com/fatigue

Even, shorter...you can just type "answers.com/fatigue" in the browser address box.

...well i suppose if the 'our' is pronounced something like 'are'... okays, i give in



his first marathon
life and death missive in hand -
was also his last

LOL Angelinity..actually, one syllable or two, either way is correct, according to the dictionary. 'ahr' or 'ou-er'

with no end to see

with no end to see
it's easy to lose yourself
a compass can help
