Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

[Perscribo]

Empty your pockets.
Separate your delicates.
Cycle back to clean.

 

[Anonymouse]

Cycle back to clean
Slates wiped clear of all prior
Acts of malcontent

 

[Perscribo]

Acts of malcontent.
Are we not America?
Find your happy place.

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

Find your happy place
and melt into the woodwork
like an old rocker

 

[Jean P. R. Dubois]

Like an old rocker
Haikus dont always make sense
Refrigerator

 

[kkbe]

Refrigerator.
Oh the things one dreams about
when one has nothing.

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

when one has nothing
all the kingdoms of the world
billow in the sky

 

[Perscribo]

billow in the sky
signal from the Cherokee
tears beyond the graves

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

tears beyond the graves
squeezing petals from gravel
memories not lost

 

[CDSinex]

Memories not lost,
yet all the same forgotten—
a friend mentioned you

[Cornelius Coburn]

A friend mentioned you
of the days that you were blue
and lost tomorrows

(I often use a rhyming scheme with these, and I've been assuming that this is okay.)

 

[Cornelius Coburn]

And lost tomorrows
live amongst the yesteryears
of eternity

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

of eternity
people think of forever
missing the moment

 

[Cornelius Coburn]

Missing the moment
Passing like blinks of an eye
These links in a chain

 

[CDSinex]

These links in a chain—
Searching for the weakest one
and finding it’s you

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

and finding it’s you
with kisses of treachery
makes me love you more

 

[CDSinex]

Makes me love you more—
Red rose whose thorn drew blood when
cut for the table

– © C.D. Sinex

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

cut for the table
greens from the fields of despair
enjoy the cuisine

 

[Cornelius Coburn]

Enjoy the cuisine
Desert cart is where it's at
That should perk you up

 

[CDSinex]

That should perk you up—
After a long, dry summer
the garden has rain

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

the garden has rain
the lawn's never been greener
the house has flooded

 

[allyfaye]

the house has flooded
an ocean of memories
now only a ruin

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

now only ruin
divides the haves and have-nots
the depth of debris
