Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

sweet ever as now,
holy glass shines colors down,
my fingers grasp light

Rivana · Jul 20, 2006

my fingers grasp light
as the morning sun rises,
knitting a new world

drachin8 · Jul 20, 2006

knitting a new world
needles clacking in my lap
the yarn unravels

Shiraz · Jul 20, 2006

the yarn unravels
a pile of lost emotion
scattered on the floor

Rivana · Jul 20, 2006

Scattered on the floor
lie pieces of broken dreams
The last mirror cracked

Cthulhu · Jul 20, 2006

The last mirror cracked,
And Alice never looked back
through the looking glass.

D.J. · Jul 20, 2006

Through the looking glass
she felt strangely drawn to peer
chose this side to stay

Cthulhu · Jul 20, 2006

Chose this side to stay,
But was it correct choice?
None but I can say.

Shiraz · Jul 20, 2006

None but I can say
what truly lies in my heart
some try, however

Cthulhu · Jul 20, 2006

Some try, however
futile it may seem to you,
to flee from consciences

Rivana · Jul 20, 2006

to flee from consciences
what a foolish thing to do
no one runs that fast

Godfather · Jul 20, 2006

"No one runs that fast!"
said a man, like a man would.
But the poet ran.

emeraldcite · Jul 20, 2006

But the poet ran
on sheets of words, facing down
Death's vile countenance

Rivana · Jul 20, 2006

Death's vile countenance
is so beautiful to me
compared to faked smiles

Godfather · Jul 20, 2006

compared to faked smiles,
are genuine grimaces.
Oh, what's the difference?

Shiraz · Jul 20, 2006

Oh, what's the difference?
My mother would always say
Wear it anyway

Grady · Jul 20, 2006

Is that lightning? Is that thunder?

pconsidine · Jul 20, 2006

Wear it anyway.
The sauce will come out some day.
Or the shirt will fade.

(Take that!)

Paint · Jul 20, 2006

Is that growl thunder
or lunch was mexican food?
I eat to hide pain.

dclary · Jul 20, 2006

Once in Nantuckett
vulgarity found glory
in a limerick

pconsidine · Jul 20, 2006

We're really messing up the chain here, gang. Though I'll give you a pass and let you take Paint's "I eat to hide pain" if you want.

ddgryphon · Jul 20, 2006

I eat to hide pain
comfort in foods that I love
it hides the real me

*********************************8

BTW: What is going on here?

dclary · Jul 20, 2006

it hides the real me
this flaccid husk of skin and blood
hung on brittle bone

my apologies.. I didn't realize there were rules!!!

LimeyDawg · Jul 20, 2006

hung on brittle bone
leathery skin offers clues;
lifelines on time's map

D.J. · Jul 20, 2006

lifelines on time's map
I try to keep them at bay
but a dock was built
