Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

new growth wrestles old
cityscapes fade, rise anew
nature watches close

oneblindmouse · Feb 18, 2008

Nature watches close
man's abuse so strident, crass.
Is it now too late?

Godfather · Feb 19, 2008

is it now too late
to sing glory to your legs,
lament your cheekbones?

PrettySpecialGal · Feb 19, 2008

lament your cheekbones
that were once there, but now gone
your face is changed now

oneblindmouse · Feb 19, 2008

your face is changed now
the smiles turned to scathing scowls
a fearsome primal mask

Woof · Feb 19, 2008

a fearsome primal mask
fixed in life's disappointments
spark of change flickers

oneblindmouse · Feb 19, 2008

spark of change flickers
igniting rotten old sticks
phoenix roars to life

D.J. · Feb 19, 2008

Pheonix roars to life
amid that which once was
new dreams to pursue

oneblindmouse · Feb 19, 2008

new dreams to pursue
bright sunbeams to chase after
my arms open wide

kdnxdr · Feb 19, 2008

my arms open wide
the wind streams like a river
soaring with the birds

oneblindmouse · Feb 20, 2008

soaring with the birds
adrift in cotton cloudscapes
I roam my dreams, free

Woof · Feb 20, 2008

I roam my dreams free
to create a universe
a thought is painted

oneblindmouse · Feb 20, 2008

A thought is painted
pinned down with oils on canvas
jailed for all to see

D.J. · Feb 20, 2008

Jailed for all to see
I'm imprisoned in failure
my sins on my sleeve

oneblindmouse · Feb 20, 2008

my sins on my sleeve
a survivor, tired and scarred;
man, no more, no less

Kate Thornton · Feb 20, 2008

Man, no more, no less
well, okay then, maybe less
less than a woman

D.J. · Feb 21, 2008

Less than a woman
I cannot be - I am me
Every fiber

onestepp · Feb 21, 2008

Every fiber
black, gold, blue woven twilight
steadfast ever true

Woof · Feb 21, 2008

steadfast ever true
to listen to your nature
truth awakes all life

WriterUnboxed · Feb 21, 2008

Truth awakes all life
Sunlight follows the deep thaw
How thick is your shell?

Woof · Feb 22, 2008

how thick is your shell?
asked the turtle to the clam:
as thick as I need

jannawrites · Feb 22, 2008

as thick as I need
is the love I have for you
how is yours, dear one?

onestepp · Feb 22, 2008

How is yours, dear one?
needs tender, loving, laughter
stuck without bandaids

D.J. · Feb 22, 2008

Stuck without bandaids
wouldn't you know that would be
here with broken knee.

(In honor of Sass.)

kdnxdr · Feb 22, 2008

here with broken knee
I pledge my vow eternally
tomorrow starts now
