Haiku Train

[Suzanne]

in every blue dip
of the old woman's thin hair,
her heart grew younger.

[Lake]

her heart grew younger
as her children grew older.
Now they switch their roles.

[barrie]

Now they switch their roles,
cross-dressing becomes the norm.
The serpent's confused.

[Raisin]

The serpents confused,
as the worm that the crow bit
in half has changed. Hughes?

[oranggunung]

in half has changed. Hughes?
A quarter already is
change, in the US!

[juliadebeauvoir]

Change, in the US,
begins with Joe the Plumber,
Not John or Barry.

[Raisin]

Not John or Barry,
just plain old average Joe.
Now he is famous.

[Cooper]

Now he is famous
smoothly sails to Uranus
in a ship of sand

[barrie]

In a ship of sand
the hourglass is always king,
time's waters ticking.
.

[Raisin]

Time's waters ticking,
clutched in the white hands of death,
the black hands shatter

[Cooper]

the black hands shatter
Saruman spilt his dinner
Ent marches on home

[Raisin]

Ent marches on home,
while tree-beard gathers hobbits
in his thin, stick arms.

[barrie]

In his thin stick arms
Lowry's Lancashire model
picked up his pint glass.

[Suzanne]

picked up his pint glass,
and slowly set it back down;
brandy called his name.

[barrie]

Brandy called his name,
but it could have been Whisky -
He wasn't sure who.

[Raisin]

He wasn't sure who.
His head was too clouded with
drink, to comprehend.

[barrie]

Drink to comprehend?
I always drink to forget,
said the President.

[Raisin]

Said the president,
forgetting where he was, while
the world heard, in shock.

[Elphin]

The world heard, in shock
it was made in seven days.
Palintology

(sorry I just realised there was a post a few days back using the Palintology line - not very original on my part but I'll leave it up and see where it leads)

[Lake]

Palintology
Joe the plumber of the world
What is the next card?

[barrie]

What is the next card
with election day so near?
The Fool, I should think.

[Raisin]

The Fool I should think,
not Hamlet, or his uncle.
The Fool stands, laughing.

[barrie]

The Fool stands laughing,
blind as to what he's doing.
Sounds familiar.

[Suzanne]

"Sounds familiar,"
she thought as he told her why
he would not post bail.

[Raisin]

He would not post bail.
So he stood by and jangled
the bells on his hat.
