Haiku Train

[Amadis]

wakes a sleepy mole
yawning, stretching, life from snow
impact winter over

[JJWilliamson]

Impact winter over
sleigh bells thaw
reindeer stir

[Amadis]

reindeer stir
horse flies bite in passions heat
an arctic frenzy

[Macavity]

an arctic frenzy
across the tundra a bear
pisses with vigour

[JJWilliamson]

Now that's a haiku, mac. Nice one.

[cameron]

Impact winter over:
Impact summer uncertain:
Future nebulous.

[cameron]

Future nebulous;
Past unthinkable; present
Locked down but OK.

[Jackie]

Locked down but OK
when curious sunbirds gift me
iridescent blue.

[Jackie]

Iridescent blue
glints off pre-dawn snow and a
wintergreen pokes through.

[Amadis]

air become solid
wintergreen pokes through ice
hope beyond science.

[Macavity]

hope beyond science
has been calculated at
seventeen. Approx.

[JJWilliamson]

Seventeen, approx;
Canada geese
landing in the duck pond

[NotQuiteSure]

landing in the duck pond
cannonball summer
a rain of laughter

[Poet]

A rain of laughter;
Pouring through grimy streets
What ridiculousness.

[JJWilliamson]

What ridiculousness:
a riot of crows
murdering at sunset

[Amadis]

murdering at sunset
peak time for carnal desire
savour stolen flesh

[Macavity]

savour stolen flesh
and taste the folly frolic
knit jumpers instead

[NotQuiteSure]

knit jumpers instead
traditions intertwining
all links in the chain

[Amadis]

all links in the chain
acquaintances and lovers
river to the sea

[Amadis]

river to the sea
was terribly cliche of me
I must do better

[Macavity]

I must do better
punctuation. The contours shift
in sand. It will rain.

[pomespennyeach]

In sand, it will rain
drowning tiny worlds to death
forming crystal suns.

[Macavity]

Forming crystal suns
to occupy space. Give ink
in minds to scroll light.

[Amadis]

in minds to scroll light
people are but the product
the scroll all we know

[pomespennyeach]

The scroll all we know
encrypted with shoaling script
redacted by time.
