Haiku Train

[barrie]

Blind naked lovers
left floundering in the dark:
the two guide dogs bark.

[juliadebeauvoir]

The two guide dogs bark
directions to passersby-
hand out dog trail maps.

[kozmikdave]

Hand out dog trail maps -
You know you're on the trail by
aroma on soles.

[Lake]

aroma on soles
my shoes walk mid-summer home
perfuming my room

[juliadebeauvoir]

Perfuming my room;
Startled to see black eyes and
a black and white tail!

[barrie]

A black and white tail -
Is a lemur on the loose,
or a Roman ghost?

[Lake]

Or a Roman ghost
in a haunted house? No way!
A romantic ghoul.

[k-j]

A romantic ghoul,
cadaverising Thatcher:
David Cameron.

[kozmikdave]

David Cameron -
far-right, right honorable
Whitney gentleman.

[TDF]

Whitney gentleman:
be her bodyguard and she
will always love you.

[zkhestanova]

Will always love you
is much too tricky a line
to start haiku with.

[Lake]

to start haiku with
a seasonal image - a
conventional must

[TDF]

conventional must?
well that is debatable.
but ok, sunburn!

[zkhestanova]

But OK, sunburn!
Let's see where you get to when
We bend light backward

[Lake]

We bend light backward
Fine, we get moonlight shower
Day and night reversed

[TDF]

day and night reversed
I heard the owls start to hoot
sun and moon proposed

[barrie]

sun and moon proposed,
both agreed: the sun got hot
and the moon melted.

[TDF]

and the moon melted,
I knew it was made of cheese!
get my fondue set!

[barrie]

Get my fondue set,
and melt me some cheese at once -
You idle butler!

[Ryder]

You idle butler!
Hard cheese sir? I'll send for the
cutler.........he'll do it.

[Lake]

Cutler, hell, do it!
You don’t go to hell who goes?
Virtue vs vice

[Ryder]

Virtue vs vice
Hephaestus bending iron
with a cruel hammer

[Lake]

with a cruel hammer
he pounds his words in her heart
sharp and hard as nails

[Ryder]

sharp and hard as nails
the hail stammers it's sentence
on a cold window

[Lake]

on a cold window
Double Happiness sneers at
a lonely widow
