Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

zanzjan · Sep 11, 2019

Of impermanence
we whisper, as if we fear
we will summon it.

ChloeRose · Sep 12, 2019

we will summon it
for the heart wants what it wants
just around the bend

kkbe · Sep 16, 2019

Just around the bend,
his sway shall end and we'll have
Peace on Earth again.

zanzjan · Sep 19, 2019

Peace on Earth again?
If for all. Unlike before,
when only for some.

ChloeRose · Sep 23, 2019

when only for some
fog seeps through the windowpane
throw open the sash

Perscribo · Sep 25, 2019

throw open the sash:
sun ray, wind blast, rain pellet
all shooting at you

zanzjan · Sep 27, 2019

All shooting at you
will inevitably miss:
the A-Team effect.

ChloeRose · Oct 3, 2019

the A-Team effect:
Vietnam goes Hollywood
covered in gold chains

B.D. Eyeslie · Oct 3, 2019

covered in gold chains,
gaudy entrails drip success,
they roll through the burbs

Samsonet · Oct 5, 2019

they roll through the burbs
and, higher than the treetops,
the birbs roll through too.

zanzjan · Oct 10, 2019

The birbs roll through too,
in their kits, wakes, and murders,
daring us to fly.

Perscribo · Oct 14, 2019

daring us to fly
black crows mock us passing by
secure in the trees

CDSinex · Oct 14, 2019

Secure in the trees—
Sycamore seed balls brace for
the frozen winter

Perscribo · Oct 15, 2019

the frozen winter
melts inside the warm windows
of your sunlit eyes

B.D. Eyeslie · Oct 18, 2019

Of your sunlit eyes:
splintered rays of hopelessness.
Pull the shades down low

Perscribo · Oct 18, 2019

Pull the shades down low.
Don’t let your hopelessness drown
the beauty of dark.

Michael Myers · Oct 18, 2019

The beauty of dark
Gray shades blend with breath's light touch
The lotus opens

Perscribo · Oct 20, 2019

The lotus opens.
A trembling pen wets the page.
My water lily.

ChloeRose · Oct 21, 2019

my water lily
visible from the highway
resides in my dreams

Perscribo · Oct 24, 2019

reside in my dreams
remove all social accounts
sink into the cloud

CDSinex · Oct 24, 2019

Sink into the cloud—
The late autumn moon playing
hide and seek with me

zanzjan · Oct 24, 2019

Hide and seek with me--
cupboard, corner, closet, hall--
laughs give us away.

B.D. Eyeslie · Oct 24, 2019

Laughs give us away,
giggles from a funeral.
Headstones mark the path.

Perscribo · Oct 24, 2019

headstones mark the path
fluttering bouquets dried up
sinking reveries

Michael Myers · Oct 24, 2019

sinking reveries
images come unbidden
cover against chill
