Haiku Train

[Lake]

haiku vandalism -
bad karma. Cannot be found
in a Zen garden

[TDF]

in a zen garden
gravel lanscape rake waves form
old man sits content

[kozmikdave]

old man sits content
until old woman finds jobs -
"Rake those stones again!"

[TDF]

Rake those stones again
always rake those bloody stones
man, do I hate stones

[kozmikdave]

"Man, I do hate stones!"
she was kolpophobic, and
he aichmophobic.

[TDF]

he aichmophobic?
(found meaning through google search)
unlucky couple!

[Lake]

unlucky couple
ideal partner in the world
the cat and the mouse

[kozmikdave]

the cat and the mouse -
territorial wars! Now
the mouse owns the mat.

[TDF]

the mouse owns the mat.
the cat wanted to buy it,
but had bad credit.

[kozmikdave]

...but had bad credit -
bailiffs came when banks foreclosed -
forced minimalism.

[barrie]

"Forced minimalism"
has six syllables - it's not
minimalism.

[kozmikdave]

minimalisum?
Five for you but four for me.
I've been short change-ed.

[Travis]

I've been short change-ed.
Call it birth if you will. Thrown,
still rolling along.

[ccvulture]

For an ice-cold beer
take a beer and add two cubes
of ice from the tray.

[kozmikdave]

Agggghhhhh! "ice from the tray?"
Select Samaritan wrote,
"still rolling along."


Note: ccvulture got his start line from the end of page one - apparently we are now on page 205 - easy mistake to make.

[Lake]

still rolling along
with puffs and huffs, the gray train
vanished in distance

[kozmikdave]

Vanished in distance -
perspective draws us closer
as time chugs past us.

[Elphin]

As time chugs past us
its straight line warps as it jumps
on a bendy bus

[py0sra]

on a bendy bus
we ride not forgetting time
into the jaws of

[kozmikdave]

Into the jaws of
the vice, I secured the screw -
new cork remover.

[Lake]

new cork remover
means more bottles of liquor
in his old stomach

[Travis]

In his old stomach
there sits a drunken fly with
many tales to tell.

[Lake]

many tales to tell -
many are stale to the ear
earplugs are on sale

[thoke]

Earplugs are on sale
for two pence each at gigs
in Utopia.

[Travis]

In Utopia
I read a dystopian
novel. Ironic.
