Then a disaster,
the two friends split up and went
their seperate ways.

PhilipCFJohnson · Mon Mar 23, 2009 10:16 pm

Their separate ways
Don't betray the image of
Their united front

Suzanne · Fri Mar 27, 2009 4:28 pm

thier united front,
was bound tightly together
with chicken wire.

PhilipCFJohnson · Sat Mar 28, 2009 12:58 am

With chicken wire
He had safely established
The pecking order

Raisin · Sat Mar 28, 2009 9:06 am

The pecking order,
he would go first, and then the
others would follow.

PhilipCFJohnson · Sat Mar 28, 2009 12:21 pm

Others would follow;
Bells on her fingers and bells
On her toes. Sounds nice.

nar · Sat Mar 28, 2009 6:06 pm

On her toes. Sounds nice.
The crooning ballerina --
solo double act.

Suzanne · Sat Apr 04, 2009 8:00 pm

solo double act
with five pairs of shoes, a hat,
and the Johnson boys.

jazziwoz · Sat Apr 04, 2009 8:03 pm

solo double act.
the singer and dancer
hard to follow that

jazziwoz · Sat Apr 04, 2009 8:04 pm

and the johnson boys
in top hats and tails - parading
for the wedding march

PhilipCFJohnson · Sun Apr 05, 2009 10:48 am

For the wedding march
Is strikingly similar
To the funeral march

nar · Sun Apr 05, 2009 11:19 am

To the funeral. March
rests. Buried in the loam of
April's longer days.

oranggunung · Sun Apr 05, 2009 1:31 pm

April’s longer days
align like an avenue
leading to summer.

PhilipCFJohnson · Sun Apr 05, 2009 1:54 pm

Leading to Summer
Passing on through Autumn and
Winter back to Spring

Cooper · Tue Apr 14, 2009 11:17 am

Winter back to spring
Opened eggs and birds that sing
Now where is my gun?

Raisin · Tue Apr 14, 2009 12:40 pm

Now where is my gun?
Fury at the long winter
shoots out in the spring.

Cooper · Tue Apr 14, 2009 1:18 pm

Shoots out in the spring
all green leaves are glittering
upon last year's soil

Raisin · Tue Apr 14, 2009 8:13 pm

Upon last years soil,
covering up the decay
with unmatched beauty.

Cooper · Wed Apr 15, 2009 11:08 am

With unmatched beauty
smeared lipstick on the mirror
crushed her foundation

Raisin · Thu Apr 16, 2009 3:07 pm

Crushed her foundation,
her heart, soul, dreams. He left her
lying on the ground.

Travis · Thu Apr 23, 2009 3:13 pm

Lying on the ground
I saw her face in the clouds
smiling down at him.

Travis · Sun Apr 26, 2009 6:27 pm

Smiling down at him
Death raised his scythe and in one
quick swoop, finished it.

Raisin · Mon Apr 27, 2009 6:13 am

Quick swoop finished it.
Drew her spirit out quickly
with ice and lemon.

Cooper · Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:11 pm

With ice and lemon
Gin at quarter to seven
served down in the bar

Raisin · Thu Apr 30, 2009 6:58 pm

Served down in the bar
right until the fight started,
then we got chucked out.
