Haiku Train

[oggiesnr]

Stole her dancing shoes,
Left a pair of wooden clogs
North-West Morris rules!

North-West Morris rules:
dance, drink, dance, drink, dance, drink, drink
with a silly hat

[Travis]

With a silly hat
I posed, giving the picture
a certain something.

[Lake]

a certain something
often uncertain to me -
to tell ducks from geese

[oranggunung]

to tell ducks from geese
he always graded his eggs
using a drainpipe

[Lake]

I haven't had a good laugh like this for the whole winter. Thanks, og.
And his eggs?

to tell ducks from geese
he always graded his eggs
using a drainpipe

[Travis]

Using a drainpipe
he constructed another
haiku in this thread.

[oranggunung]

haiku in this thread
are like Japanese whispers;
ripples on the lake

[Lake]

ripples on the lake
murmur to a moon floating
in the dark water

[oggiesnr]

In the dark water
the underbelly of life
swirling like the fish.

[oranggunung]

swirling, like the fish
stirred the surface from below:
storms on Jupiter

[Suzanne]

Storms on Jupiter
Aquarius ties slipknots
Orion quivers.

[oranggunung]

Orion quivers
at the edge of a torus -
event horizon

[Travis]

Event horizon.
Gravitational lensing.
Terminology.

[oranggunung]

terminology
simple or esoteric
one’s dichotomy

[Lake]

one’s dichotomy
so much depends upon one’s
new way of thinking

[oranggunung]

new way of thinking
leave pre-conceptions at door
listen to the words

[Lake]

listen to the words
that burst out of your body -
plum trees bloom in snow

[JohnLott]

Plum trees bloom in snow
They don't want bees to visit
to snap their anthers

[TDF]

to snap their anthers
or rather burst them open
that is dehiscence

[oranggunung]

that is dehiscence
the recrudescent seasons
emerge and unfold

[Suzanne]

Emerge and unfold
legs in the morning's shadows,
smiling, I see you.

[Marc]

Smiling, I see you
smiling. I see you, smiling.
I see you: smiling.

[Suzanne]

I see you smiling,
arms folded over your chest,
content observing.

[Travis]

Content observing
he lurks silently in the
shadows, just watching.
