Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

Qwest · Jan 31, 2018

Want to choke yourself
on thoughts of things you shouldn't
but them thoughts are loops

Qwest · Feb 3, 2018

But them thoughts are loops
of lipstick and unicorns
and writing wild tales

zanzjan · Feb 5, 2018

And writing? Wild tales
no longer satisfy me.
Now I want heart, too.

Qwest · Feb 7, 2018

Now I want heart too,
She yelled into the red phone.
Her lover said, oh!

zanzjan · Feb 7, 2018

Her lover said, "Oh!
My arm is numb. Can you move?"
She went to London.

Qwest · Feb 9, 2018

She went to London,
And saw the giant eye spin...
Something like Sauron?

kkbe · Feb 9, 2018

Something like Sauron,
but with less panache and more . . .
mascara, maybe.

zanzjan · Feb 28, 2018

Mascara maybe
adds dark drama to your look,
but ditch the clown nose.

Perscribo · Mar 1, 2018

But - ditch the clown nose?
All the world's a woeful stage.
I will keep my props.

zanzjan · Mar 14, 2018

I will keep my props
spun up, my wings ready, in
hope you'll be my wind.

kkbe · Mar 14, 2018

Hope you'll be my wind
as you were once my sail. God
bless, Stephen Hawking.

Qwest · Mar 19, 2018

Bless Stephen Hawking
as he steps into the stars
skidding through light years

CDSinex · Mar 19, 2018

Skidding through light years,
or merely calendar years—
distance becomes time

Qwest · Mar 20, 2018

Distance becomes time
except in our memories:
where past plays always

kkbe · Mar 20, 2018

Where Past plays, always,
Yesterday wins. Today is
of no consequence.

Qwest · Mar 21, 2018

Of no consequence
the worries ringing in me
Our odd world still spins

Qwest · Mar 25, 2018

Our odd world still spins
Everyday, a bit older
Us, hardly wiser

zanzjan · Mar 26, 2018

Us, hardly wiser,
still will not yield our future
to the status quo

Qwest · Mar 28, 2018

To the status quo
she marches with her children:
What do they find there?

zanzjan · Apr 6, 2018

What do they find there
in the old wishing well? My
dreams drowned long ago.

JessEmMcKeown · Apr 13, 2018

Dreams drowned long ago
We cannot afford to dream
when we have to eat

kkbe · Apr 15, 2018

When we have to: eat.
When we don't: I don't know. I
never got that far.

JessEmMcKeown · Apr 15, 2018

Never got that far...
seems to be my life story.
Really should change that.

Qwest · Apr 18, 2018

Really should change that:
The way I slouch in my chair.
Meet the screen straight on.

JessEmMcKeown · Apr 18, 2018

Meet the screen straight on
Get seated with your popcorn
It's a masterpiece
