Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

[ableseaman]

till they threw me, out
the door into the garden,
no flowers bloomed here

 

[zanzjan]

No flowers bloomed here
in this dirt, all I saved from
the bones of dead Earth.

 

[kkbe]

the bones of dead earth
sustain all we cannot see.
seek, and ye shall find.

 

[Tazlima]

Seek, and ye shall find.
Unless you seek sanity.
Then you're out of luck.

 

[jaus tail]

then you're out of luck,
if you start believing in
the monster called fate

 

[ableseaman]

the monster called fate
rang me up for a quick date
brought daisies to pull.

 

[kkbe]

Brought daisies, to pull
me out of a lifetime funk.
It's the thought that counts.

 

[CassandraW]

It's the thought that counts.
That's lucky for you because
your gift to me sucks.

 

[B.D. Eyeslie]

Your gift to me sucks,
reflective eyes in the blade
of a crazy night.

 

[jaus tail]

of a crazy night
I think, when a lightning would
grant me super strength

 

[kkbe]

Grant me super strength
of faith. The end draws near and
I am left wanting.

 

[jaus tail]

I am left wanting
for days lost, friends forgotten
in the quest for wealth

 

[ableseaman]

in the quest for wealth
the bumblebee bounces off
blooms, sticky legs adrift

 

[ableseaman]

Blooms, sticky legs...adrift
My sea of stories waver
Summer sun in haze

 

[kkbe]

Summer sun in haze--
them's gone days. Lookin' back don't
do nothin' but hurt.

 

[ableseaman]

do nothin' but hurt
the ones you love and cherish
because you a fool

 

[jaus tail]

because you, a fool
to have fallen in love with
yourself, life and work

 

[Teena]

yourself, life and work
those are your priorities
where does that leave me

 

[jaus tail]

where does that leave me
to just sit here and hatch eggs
is that what you want

 

[Tazlima]

Is that what you want?
Are you really quite certain?
Don't say you weren't warned.

 

[kkbe]

Don't say you weren't warned;
you all knew he was coming.
Time waits for no-one.

 

[mimstrel]

Time waits for no-one
but drags us, full of protest
to our elder years

 

[ableseaman]

to our elder years
let's lift a glass and tip one
or two until sloshed

 

[jaus tail]

or until two sloshed
angels decide to bless me
with showers of bliss

 

[Perscribo]

With showers of bliss
a bud builds up a bold plan:
kiss tomorrow's sun.
