Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

Only ten more years
And this wine will be perfect
It's worth waiting for.

Putputt · Jun 29, 2013

It's worth waiting for.
Except I know in this game
we are both losers.

Kate Thornton · Jun 29, 2013

We are both losers
We have lost our hearts to love
Our minds to beauty

kkbe · Jun 29, 2013

Our minds to beauty~
we reached for her but she was
never ours to take.

Putputt · Jun 29, 2013

Never ours to take--
we reach for it anyway,
knowing we will fall.

kkbe · Jun 29, 2013

knowing we will fall,
we step off the cliff. Our boy
Holden will catch us.

Kate Thornton · Jun 30, 2013

Holden will catch us
Salinger has promised it
Are we in the rye?

laurasbadideas · Jun 30, 2013

Are we in the rye?
No, I think we're in the weeds.
I'm completely lost.

William E. Harlan · Jun 30, 2013

I'm completely lost.
I look forward to nothing.
I hope it ends soon.

Kate Thornton · Jul 1, 2013

I hope it ends soon
The movie just seems boring
The book was better

William E. Harlan · Jul 1, 2013

The book was better.
Jurassic Park should be read.
Procompsognathus.

zanzjan · Jul 1, 2013

Procompsognathus:
A big-ass lizard, not that
weird lump on your bum.

William E. Harlan · Jul 1, 2013

Weird lump on your bum?
I'm Earl Sheib. I'll paint that lump,
For nine, ninety-five!

Kate Thornton · Jul 2, 2013

For nine ninety-five
I expect more than a lump
Let's do the whole thing

zanzjan · Jul 2, 2013

Let's do the whole thing!
You grab the planet, and I'll
hold open the bag.

Kate Thornton · Jul 2, 2013

Hold open the bag
Wait - it's a poke, not a bag!
A smart pig declines

..

William E. Harlan · Jul 2, 2013

A smart pig declines.
Some, more equal than others,
Avoid the knacker.

Helix · Jul 2, 2013

Avoid the knacker!
Boxer went --- never came back.
That gave us a glue.

kkbe · Jul 3, 2013

that gave us a glue,
stuck together for all time.
ain't comin' apart.

zanzjan · Jul 3, 2013

ain't coming apart
though I rend stars from your skies;
Time, unchanged, unfazed.

William E. Harlan · Jul 3, 2013

Time. Unchanged, unfazed,
The champion's hand is raised.
The challenger slumps.

Kate Thornton · Jul 3, 2013

The Challenger slumps
Endeavor to replace it
Space program now gone

William E. Harlan · Jul 3, 2013

Space program now gone.
Not for long. No, not for long.
We are explorers.

laurasbadideas · Jul 3, 2013

We are explorers
Although sometimes we forget
Who we really are.

William E. Harlan · Jul 4, 2013

Who we really are.
Lives colliding with events.
Pinballs in a game.
