Haiku Train

oranggunung · Wed Nov 05, 2008 10:30 am

And resting, the night
spread it arms across the sky,
scattering stardust.

Raisin · Wed Nov 05, 2008 5:33 pm

Scattering stardust.
A dust storm of gold and fire,
spreads inky blushes.

Suzanne · Sat Nov 08, 2008 3:06 pm

"Spreads" Inky blushes
every time a stranger asks,
"It's a nickname, right?"

barrie · Sat Nov 08, 2008 3:46 pm

"It's a nickname, right?"
"No, it's not," replied Jack Shit,
"You don't know nothing!"

juliadebeauvoir · Sat Nov 08, 2008 3:49 pm

"You don't know nothing!"
is a double negative.
Check your grammar, please.

oranggunung · Sat Nov 08, 2008 6:16 pm

Check your grammar, please,
before you stick your clause in,
cruciverbalist.

barrie · Sat Nov 08, 2008 6:44 pm

Cruciverbalist?
I just can't get one across:
it's time to go down.

Mickpjb · Sat Nov 08, 2008 7:00 pm

It's time to go down
and jump on the Haiku train,
next stop nobody knows.

Raisin · Sun Nov 09, 2008 9:23 pm

Next stop, nobody knows.
So pick up your newspaper
and count all your toes.

oranggunung · Sun Nov 09, 2008 9:39 pm

“And count all your toes.
Those rats are hungry buggers;
they don’t need askin’!”

Raisin · Sun Nov 09, 2008 10:19 pm

They don't need askin'!
When fed on toxic waste, and
peeled banana skins.

barrie · Mon Nov 10, 2008 9:47 am

Peeled banana skins?
Who would peel banana skins?
And who peels the peel?

Danté · Mon Nov 10, 2008 4:10 pm

And who peels the peel?
Some surreal peeler I guess
wielding a knife.

Raisin · Mon Nov 10, 2008 4:14 pm

And who peels the peel?
The person peeling the peel,
is quite appealing.

Lake · Mon Nov 10, 2008 4:45 pm

wielding a knife,
smiling, at three musketeers
is quite appealing

Mickpjb · Tue Nov 11, 2008 3:33 pm

Is quite appealing
while watching without feeling,
what is life dealing?

oranggunung · Tue Nov 11, 2008 5:52 pm

What is life dealing?
I need some endorphins, man.
Adrenaline sucks.

Mickpjb · Tue Nov 11, 2008 8:38 pm

Adrenaline sucks,
exercise sucks, dieting sucks.
My fun? killing ducks!

oranggunung · Tue Nov 11, 2008 9:53 pm

My fun killing ducks
comes from the explosive plumes -
feathered confetti !

Mickpjb · Tue Nov 11, 2008 10:04 pm

‘Feathered confetti’
Said, kinky auntie Betty
With a naughty grin.

Mickpjb · Tue Nov 11, 2008 10:09 pm

With a naughty grin
Uncle Tim leered at Betty,
Time to get my coat!

oranggunung · Tue Nov 11, 2008 10:12 pm

With a naughty grin
the buxom wench bid me come
hither and thither.

Mickpjb · Tue Nov 11, 2008 10:20 pm

Hither and thither
she makes me quiver all day.
Dump her tomorrow?

galaxy13 · Tue Nov 11, 2008 10:43 pm

Dump her tomorrow
At the edge of the meadow
And walk down the lane

Mickpjb · Tue Nov 11, 2008 10:48 pm

And walk down the lane,
did you think I did not see,
the bloodied shovel?
