    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
    Salut baloo

    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

    helicopter nut
    green finger
    shoots into life

    it's gravity bent face
    smiling at me
    lamplight
    through the greenest leaves

    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
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,

    spend the time of a breeze
    to feel the hot afternoon

    to feel the hot afternoon
    solstice

    showers of sunlight
    reflecting blue pool sparkles
    cartwheels to summer
    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

    sunlight through showers
    a damp blanket
    protecting

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

    hot pavement simmers
    from a cloudless sun hot sky
    kansas burns today
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace

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