Haiku Train

[billycasper]

dusk deepens
and fog descends
trumpets sound

[Suzanne]

trumpets sound weary
tight white horns over salt sea
shy peach moon stands firm.

[Danté]

shy peach moon stands firm
its reflected brilliance
makes the rest look pale

[Suzanne]

Makes the rest look pale.
Her focus never changing;
she will serve the sun.

[nar]

She will serve The Sun
Paparazzi's new sweetheart
Skins and lives exposed

[Suzanne]

Skins and lives exposed
Dark font burning tales of woe
Hungry readers sup.

[nar]

Hungry readers sup
steamy soups of soap and star
bitter aftertaste

[Danté]

bitter aftertaste
like remembering condoms
after the event

[Suzanne]

After the event,
tightropes unknotted, released,
the magic's re-boxed.

[nar]

the magic's re-boxed
in spilled or fallen seedpod
awaiting spring rain

[Suzanne]

awaiting spring rain
green fingers test fertile soil
through dry winter grass.

[Marc]

Through dry winter grass,
smoke seeps and shivers leaving
wormholes in my mind.

[Suzanne]

wormholes in my mind
but marc's in the house today
he has been away.

[Marc]

He has been away.
The muse had forsaken him.
He was not amused!

[brianedwards]

He has been away.
The muse had forsaken him.
He was not amused!

Welcome back. The muse is with you I hope . . .

B.

[Suzanne]

he was not amused
5-7-5 Brian
she was not amused.

[brianedwards]

he was not amused
5-7-5 Brian
she was not amused.

she was not amused?
5-7-5 makes haiku:
Brian's wetting him-

[Suzanne]

Brian's wetting him,
Billy's shampooing him,
Puppy in the tub.

[Marc]

Puppy in the tub.
Sounds like a euphemism.
Give the dog a rub!

[nar]

Give the dog a rub
but use a paper towel
spare me the laundry

[Suzanne]

spare me the laundry
one wicker bush basket bawled
case of cracked handles.

[brianedwards]

case of cracked handles:
this Haiku train anyone?
rename the whole thread

[Suzanne]

rename the whole thread!
mumbles a green bitter oak
shy silk worms tell tales.

[brianedwards]

shy silk worms tell tales
dry thick turds smell stale yawn yawn
yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn

[Suzanne]

yawn yawn yawn yawn yawn
sneeze blink chuckle and hic-up
deep sigh- go to bed.
