Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

B.D. Eyeslie · Dec 12, 2013

Writings on the wall
in the language of the cave,
a different world.

onestepp · Dec 12, 2013

A different world
amazing fireworks sparkle
between lined pages

zanzjan · Dec 13, 2013

between lined pages
I find your scrawl'd intentions,
old ink still not dry.

zarada · Dec 13, 2013

old ink still not dry
on the sealed papyrus tome,
wars pervade the land.

onestepp · Dec 13, 2013

Wars pervade the land
poverty famine disease
marching through death's door

zanzjan · Dec 14, 2013

Marching through Death's door
I pause to rifle his mail,
wait, wings folded back.

kkbe · Dec 15, 2013

Wait. Wings folded back,
biding its time. So easy.
They never look up.

zarada · Dec 15, 2013

they never look up
when the vultures come to feed--
they're easy pickings.

onestepp · Dec 15, 2013

They're easy pickings
fluffy, puffy, plump white clouds
marveled creations

Ralyks · Dec 16, 2013

Marveled creations:
duck bills, web feet, and - oh - eggs!
What was God thinking?

Levico · Dec 16, 2013

What was God thinking,
Packing all of these voices
In a poor teen's head?

Teena · Dec 16, 2013

In a poor teen's head
confused emotions riot
puberty's a bitch

B.D. Eyeslie · Dec 17, 2013

Puberty's a bitch;
later, everything's easy--
except getting old.

William E. Harlan · Dec 18, 2013

Accept getting old.
Youth and vigor are moments.
There is more to life.

zanzjan · Dec 19, 2013

there is more to life
than love and grief, or wisdom;
there is chocolate.

William E. Harlan · Dec 19, 2013

There is chocolate.
There is coffee, and there, books.
What else do you need?

Levico · Dec 19, 2013

What else to you need?
A blade, coffee, cloak and pack,
Adventure to seek.

kkbe · Dec 20, 2013

Adventure--to seek
the truth you never knew. Lost,
until you find it.

zarada · Dec 20, 2013

until you find it,
it will seem ridiculous.
after, obvious.

bethbethbeth · Dec 20, 2013

After obvious
truths, we play at small lies. You
tell me you're single.

zanzjan · Dec 21, 2013

tell me your single
greatest fear, and I will count
out your thousand joys.

Tazlima · Dec 21, 2013

Out your thousand joys,
find the one that you love best.
That's your weakest point.

zanzjan · Dec 21, 2013

"That's your weakest point,"
I say, dagger at your heart --
danger *is* sexy.

ZachJPayne · Dec 21, 2013

danger is sexy
the bitter stiletto cuts
fantasy and fact

NSCPfreak · Dec 22, 2013

Without temptation
The world would be a dull place
Resist temptation
