Haiku Train

a lonely window
looks out at the universe
from its own bubble

Ryder · Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:32 pm

A lonely widow
looks out at the universe,
above her stubble

Lake · Tue Aug 26, 2008 2:22 am

above her stubble?
I’d like to start with bubble
to avoid trouble

juliadebeauvoir · Tue Aug 26, 2008 5:49 am

To avoid trouble,
one must not talk to humans.
Hermits are carefree.

barrie · Tue Aug 26, 2008 8:47 am

Hermits are carefree,
conceded the homeless crab,
when they find a shell.

Oskar · Wed Aug 27, 2008 7:01 pm

When they find a shell
it hears (!) funny telegram:
"How old Cary Grant?"

Lake · Wed Aug 27, 2008 8:08 pm

"How old Cary Grant?"
Does it matter? He looks young
with that young lady.

juliadebeauvoir · Sat Aug 30, 2008 8:48 pm

With that young lady,
it is said he 'done' her wrong,
a shotgun wedding...

barrie · Mon Sep 01, 2008 9:09 am

A shotgun wedding
turned the cake to confetti:
a gull's rich pickings.

juliadebeauvoir · Tue Sep 02, 2008 8:22 pm

A gull's rich pickings;
salmon mousse and caviar,
and feather lined beds.

juliadebeauvoir · Sun Sep 07, 2008 3:06 am

"and feather lined beds"
Not a very good line! No
haiku for four days!

Lake · Sun Sep 07, 2008 12:25 pm

haiku for four days
rest for five days, fill with gas -
endless haiku train

Oskar · Sun Sep 07, 2008 7:55 pm

Endless haiku train
Just like that Old Man River
He just keeps rolling

Lake · Sun Sep 07, 2008 11:50 pm

He just keeps rolling
from town to town till the sun
rolls down the mountain.

TDF · Wed Sep 10, 2008 7:16 pm

rolls down the mountain
again, madening the soul.
The Sisyphus curse.

oranggunung · Thu Sep 11, 2008 5:38 pm

The Sisyphus curse:
perpetual motion from
the cream of Tartar.

TDF · Fri Sep 12, 2008 7:20 pm

the cream of Tartar?
sounds a horrid soup to me.
Sweetcorn and noodle.

Oskar · Fri Sep 12, 2008 9:55 pm

Sweetcorn and noodle.
Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson:
'Sing Little Birdie'.

Lake · Sat Sep 13, 2008 4:36 am

Sing, Little Birdie,
when the full moon rises up.
The whole world listens.

TDF · Sun Sep 14, 2008 1:44 pm

The whole world listens.
But noone says anything,
bloody typical.

juliadebeauvoir · Mon Sep 15, 2008 1:07 am

Bloody typical,
vampires having such long fangs.
A dentist's nightmare!

TDF · Mon Sep 15, 2008 5:08 pm

A dentist's nightmare:
people who know how to brush,
killing business.

juliadebeauvoir · Mon Sep 15, 2008 5:55 pm

Killing business,
bankruptcy and foreclosure
are easy as pie

Oskar · Fri Sep 19, 2008 8:39 pm

R E Z as pie.
L O, F U N E X?
Y S, V F X.

Elphin · Fri Sep 19, 2008 8:47 pm

Y S, V F X
reminds me of two ronnies.
Have you four candles?
