Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

Little1 · May 7, 2010

safe on the sidewalk
I thought I would be, alas
it was not to be

kdnxdr · May 7, 2010

it was not to be
rather yet, to not be it -
hide and seek was fun

A. Hamilton · May 7, 2010

hide and seek was fun
honeysuckle fortresses
firefly nightlights

Little1 · May 7, 2010

Firefly nightlights
sit on the edge of my bed
giving off a glow

kdnxdr · May 7, 2010

giving off a glow
everyone is wondering,
what is the secret?

CDSinex · May 7, 2010

What is the secret?
Something that ends if it’s shared.
Things best left unsaid.

madaddicted · May 7, 2010

Things best left unsaid
I want more than your friendship
Do you want my love?

kdnxdr · May 7, 2010

Do you want my love?
I know it's so imperfect;
perfectly, it's yours.

Paul · May 7, 2010

Perfectly, it's yours
The relentless hours which mock
your every bated breath

kdnxdr · May 7, 2010

your every bated breath
echoes my deepest desire -
lost in love's refrain

CDSinex · May 7, 2010

Lost in love's refrain.
The frogs keep us up all night.
One of summer’s joys.

madaddicted · May 8, 2010

One of Summer's joys
Frolicking in the hot sun
Cool rain tomorrow

CDSinex · May 8, 2010

Cool rain tomorrow?
My wilting garden’s staring
at a cloudless sky.

At a cloudless sky
I rant and plot to change it.
Time to wash my car!

madaddicted · May 9, 2010

Time to wash my car
Summer weather emerging
Blissful vacation

CDSinex · May 9, 2010

Blissful vacation--
Nothing but cicada cries
and writing poems

kdnxdr · May 10, 2010

writing poems and
capturing elusive thoughts;
this, my perfect day

CDSinex · May 10, 2010

This, my perfect day
Topped off with a warm Tanka.

(Hint, hint)
I can hardly wait.

madaddicted · May 11, 2010

I can hardly wait
until moonlight breaks the sun
No longer awake

A. Hamilton · May 12, 2010

no longer awake
petals closed dormant stamen
silken tulip rests

CDSinex · May 12, 2010

Silken tulips rest.
Tomorrow blooms will open.
Your cheeks flushed with red.

kdnxdr · May 12, 2010

your cheeks flushed with red
remembering yesterday
forty years ago

CDSinex · May 13, 2010

Forty years ago,
wondering which path to take.
Never looking back.

kdnxdr · May 13, 2010

never looking back
one never wonders aloud -
private thoughts whisper

Paul · May 13, 2010

private thoughts whisper
and now brush like cat whiskers
across reddened skin
