Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

Woof · Dec 9, 2008

judgment waits for all
who expect they will be judged
mind determines fate

oneblindmouse · Dec 9, 2008

mind determines fate,
silver spoons can rarely help
wayward souls succeed

Woof · Dec 9, 2008

wayward souls succeed
in haunting familiar spots
the exorcist comes

drachin8 · Dec 9, 2008

the exorcist comes
a ring of smoke shackles his
finger on your cheek

-Michelle

Donkey · Dec 9, 2008

finger on your cheek
collecting your salty tears
soothing words, white lies

kdnxdr · Dec 9, 2008

soothing words, white lies
keep me hooked; feeding love
as a starved dog begs

drachin8 · Dec 9, 2008

as a starved dog begs
urchins shove for place, for love
the dog gets the bone

-Michelle

Teena · Dec 9, 2008

the dog gets the bone
but the cat will have salmon
feline fantasy

kdnxdr · Dec 9, 2008

feline fantasy
a perfect place to stretch out
basking in the warmth

Godfather · Dec 10, 2008

basking in the warmth,
that smile she lent me when she
thought of then and me

Woof · Dec 10, 2008

thought of then and me
and of now and you and us
all thoughts turn to love

Donkey · Dec 10, 2008

all thoughts turn to love
In the spring of our short lives
each day is a gift

drachin8 · Dec 10, 2008

each day is a gift
wrapped in paper, winter-thin
don't open 'til spring

-Michelle

Teena · Dec 10, 2008

don't open til Spring
Mother Nature tells the buds
and they obey her

drachin8 · Dec 10, 2008

and they obey her
and in obedience grow
soldiers in a row

-Michelle

Woof · Dec 10, 2008

and they obey her
because she helps them to grow
mother, nurture that

drachin8 · Dec 11, 2008

(bridging the two previous haiku!)

soldiers in a row
guns askew and eyes askance
mother, nurture that

-Michelle

drachin8 · Dec 11, 2008

mother, nurture that
sequins glitter, feathers flash
the strip is aglow

-Michelle

Meerkat · Dec 11, 2008

the strip is aglow
wagered mortgage not humble
as paradise lost

drachin8 · Dec 11, 2008

(a little quiet today!)

as paradise lost
apple prices down, clothes up
god economics

-Michelle

Teena · Dec 11, 2008

God economics
eye for eye and tooth for tooth
are we even now?

Meerkat · Dec 11, 2008

are we even now?
or given to fantasy
when "keep it real" daunts

kdnxdr · Dec 11, 2008

when "keep it real" daunts
kick the can in empty streets
walking down the dark

drachin8 · Dec 12, 2008

walking down the dark
the creep of walls, stilled voices
steps like bells of light

-Michelle

Teena · Dec 12, 2008

steps like bells of light
aglow with warmth and splendor
silently she walks
