which leads them upwards
an extremely wicked which
but which wicked witch

Lake · Wed Feb 13, 2008 6:09 pm

but which wicked witch
is a tough question of which
no one really knows

barrie · Thu Feb 14, 2008 12:36 pm

no-one really knows
but most people think they do
the wind will still blow

juliadebeauvoir · Thu Feb 14, 2008 2:42 pm

The wind will still blow,
rain will still water the earth,
for eternity.

Elphin · Thu Feb 14, 2008 3:51 pm

for eternity -
a Valentines day promise
but not forever.

Lake · Thu Feb 14, 2008 4:23 pm

but not forever –
it is painful, but so true
mind-change like water

kozmikdave · Sat Feb 16, 2008 1:26 pm

Mind-change, like water,
running from hot and cold taps,
leaves you burned and wet.

barrie · Sat Feb 16, 2008 4:44 pm

Leaves you burned and wet?
I never burned any leaves,
and the rain wet them!

Lake · Sun Feb 17, 2008 2:03 am

and the rain wet them
the sun dried them to raisins
leaves leave the branches

juliadebeauvoir · Sun Feb 17, 2008 8:59 pm

Leaves leave the branches.
Branches branch out in pain, stretch,
search for green again.

kozmikdave · Tue Feb 19, 2008 6:28 am

Search for green again.
Wally's red and white striped shirt
now bores me to death.

Elphin · Tue Feb 19, 2008 1:04 pm

Now - bores me to death.
Past - where the excitement was.
Future - fun once more.

Lake · Tue Feb 19, 2008 5:26 pm

Future fun once more
Future is unknown as well
Stay open-minded

juliadebeauvoir · Fri Feb 22, 2008 4:56 am

Stay open minded,
while during brain surgery.
It's much easier.

barrie · Sat Feb 23, 2008 10:50 am

It's much easier
to die than to live, if you've
been pierced to the heart.

Lake · Sat Feb 23, 2008 4:01 pm

been pierced to the heart
been trapped in the hopelessness
merciless rain pours

barrie · Wed Feb 27, 2008 6:55 pm

Merciless rain pours,
barbed wire rusting quietly,
shrapnel shells above.

kozmikdave · Fri Feb 29, 2008 7:54 am

Shrapnel shells above
burst out of their bored safeness,
messing with our minds.

TDF · Wed Mar 05, 2008 4:45 pm

messing with our minds
silver foil hat is needed
paranoia? no

Travis · Wed Mar 05, 2008 11:16 pm

Paranoia? No,
you fears are quite real. Beware
in the days ahead.

Lake · Thu Mar 06, 2008 1:49 am

in the days ahead
the sun rises in the west
believe it or not

TDF · Thu Mar 06, 2008 5:07 pm

believe it or not
I once met Andrew Motion
he is a nice guy

Lake · Thu Mar 06, 2008 6:37 pm

he is a nice guy
but evil to animals
a distorted soul

TDF · Thu Mar 06, 2008 6:54 pm

a distorted soul
it is that twists a haiku
to turn its meaning

kozmikdave · Fri Mar 07, 2008 11:15 am

to turn its meaning
is a meaningless act of
haiku vandalism
