Too fruity by half
my healthy insanity
life's equalizer

dedalus · Wed Oct 26, 2011 5:20 am

life's equalizer
fires howitzers at the rich
sign up on the left

Suzanne · Wed Oct 26, 2011 7:08 am

Sign up on the left.
Walk briskly, fly into it.
There'll be nothing left.

dedalus · Wed Oct 26, 2011 9:32 am

There'll be nothing left,
there goes the chocolate cake --
Ma will go postal

Suzanne · Wed Oct 26, 2011 10:03 am

Ma will go postal
Pa, pharmaceutical
Both flying somewhere.

RichardSanders · Wed Oct 26, 2011 11:36 am

Both flying somewhere
as kamikaze pilots
with chemical bonds

Moth · Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:22 pm

With chemical bonds
they are destined to marry
till pheromones part

Travis · Thu Oct 27, 2011 5:56 am

Till pheromones part
they will love the fuck out of
each other. Till death.

Suzanne · Thu Oct 27, 2011 7:40 am

Each other, till death,
the two arctic pines entwine
with roots in sand soil.

RichardSanders · Thu Oct 27, 2011 9:47 am

with roots in sand soil
competing for sustenance
love's eternal strife

Suzanne · Thu Oct 27, 2011 9:51 am

love's eternal strife;
edging weeds from the garden,
replanting what-nots.

lemonstar · Thu Oct 27, 2011 10:02 am

replanting what-nots
digging up rhubarb I hate
accidentally

Moth · Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:18 pm

Accidentally
born with a cord round his neck,
full circle in death.

Suzanne · Thu Oct 27, 2011 12:25 pm

Full circle in death,
strangled by the bloodied vine.
Spent tears wash nothing.

Moth · Thu Oct 27, 2011 2:02 pm

Spent tears wash nothing;
dirty linen at the wake,
remembered always.

Gazelle · Fri Oct 28, 2011 6:17 am

remembered always
jagged scar across my cheek
where you once loved me

dedalus · Sat Oct 29, 2011 5:09 am

where you once loved me
is now a gaping ruin
overgrown with weeds

Suzanne · Sat Oct 29, 2011 5:32 am

over grown with weeds
chain-link fence entraps sand pits
scrambling rodents hide

RichardSanders · Sat Oct 29, 2011 11:54 am

scrambling rodents hide
for the fury of my hate
closeness remembered

lemonstar · Sat Oct 29, 2011 6:59 pm

closeness remembered
scent of your winter woolies
put away forever

Moth · Sun Oct 30, 2011 1:31 am

put away forever
silky bras and negligees,
man-made woman's wear.

lemonstar · Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:24 am

Man-made woman's wear
This is a man's, man's, man's world
but it ain't nothing

Moth · Mon Oct 31, 2011 12:50 am

but it ain't nothing,
doubling the negative.
It's simply complex.

lemonstar · Tue Nov 01, 2011 12:17 pm

It's simply complex
A fractal is recursive
Now do you get it?

dedalus · Wed Nov 02, 2011 6:52 am

Now do you get it?
Reason don't come into it --
God save King Charlie!
