    electric cackle
    mutes the unpleasant gloom
    sparks fly bright
    sparks fly
    before the rainbow
    early spring

    sparks fly
    before the rainbow
    early spring

    dull distant booms
    crackle fired shards
    over folded pools

    Salted is the scent
    showers of maritime sea,
    St John's beckons me.

    See you too, Bibliobella.. Cheers!! :)
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Salted water
    in my eyes, of my eyes
    seeing clearly

    Sea foam scale eyes, see
    shipwreck sands in fast uplift
    and know your cruel home

    Sea foam scale eyes, see
    shipwreck sands in fast uplift
    and know your cruel home
    away from home
    thrown from a wrecked ship
    spiral down

    the reason why she...
    just as confused as me, she...
    disbelief in me...

    I like these things. Be cool to make a full poem out of many Haiku stanza's. hmm...
    Thunderstorm
    trees wave
    back and forth back and forth


    A series of linked haiku is called "Renga", and it's basically what we are doing on this thread.

    puddles of wet earth
    squish 'twixt me big hobbit toes
    i lay spent with you.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool

    showers of sunlight
    reflecting blue pool sparkles
    cartwheels to summer

    cool dark green shadows
    shimmer above the wet grass
    feels finger tips

    Her phantom lover
    gleams 'neath her moonpale window:
    ectoplasmic thighs ... :cool:

    This is heading towards Tanka which was courtly love poetry of Japan at about 100 years after Shakespeare was passing his sonnets around. Tanka is beautiful poetry, not as spirtual as haiku is meant to be, but poignant nonetheless.

    Take your leave at once,
    cast shadows o'er moonlit seas,
    endless summer sighs
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace

    Fading dancers lope
    barefoot on flattened tacks
    feigning youthful pain
  • Clear sun thoughts streamed
    on mountain top falls
    then lost into cool speed

    the distance to love
    a path of least resistance
    closer than mixed breaths
  • winter rain falls and dissapears
    later on
    winter snow falls dissapears
    different season
    different weather
    same picture

    the sun has risen
    touched his face but not his soul
    who cast this shadow?
  • drawn out under sun
    pulsed warmly
    ice blue drops drain days

    ...this isn't one i wrote...

    Loving someone
    who does not love you
    is like going to the temple
    and worshipping the behind
    of some devil god.



    lol

    cracked me up
    in that ouch, sorta way...
