Haiku Train

[PhilipCFJohnson]

Candy-floss of course
The aspirations we had
Roll on destiny

[Suzanne]

Roll on destiny!
You will eventually
find me dancing blind.

[Raisin]

Find me dancing blind,
it's the same as being tone deaf.
I have no rhythm.

[PhilipCFJohnson]

I have no rhythm
Other than the one I hear
From your beating heart

[Suzanne]

From your beating heart
to your tapping toes, i'd like
to entertain you.

[PhilipCFJohnson]

To entertain you
Is to indulge in the most
Costly procedure

[Suzanne]

costly procedure,
the technology is there
but not the courage.

[PhilipCFJohnson]

But not the courage
To begin a new sentence
With such awkward words

[oranggunung]

With such awkward words,
I’m surprised you didn’t choke -
hit a glottal stop.

[PhilipCFJohnson]

Hit a glottal stop
I'll make an anagram now:
Post "Hi" at total

[nar]

Post "Hi" at total?
Phil, you missed a G and L,
I got all that; post.

[PhilipCFJohnson]

I got all that; post.
Oh no I'll try it again:
I go past that toll!

[nar]

I go past that toll;
since anagrams are my drug,
that I gall to stop.

[Lovely]

Is this persian for sumerian
what gravy on my lap,
like this all the same
even though I want to crap.

Ha Ha

Lovely, I think you've missed the idea of the haiku train. Perhaps you meant to post in the bits train.

Anyway, to replace the derailed train on its track:


That I gall to stop,
flower to begin again
and fruit at my death.

[Aliceaforethought]

fruit at my death
falls in the winter river—
I am honoured

[Cooper]

I am honoured
my album was that river
we composed in june

[Danté]

we composed in june
it lasted through til July
and then we lost her.

[Aliceaforethought]

and then we lost her
in the high autumn winds—
goodbye little cat

[nar]

goodbye little cat
where is Mr Pork Pie Hat
please can you find him?

[PhilipCFJohnson]

Please can you find him,
Where I left him hanging on
The line? High and dry.

[Aliceaforethought]

the line high and dry
quivered as he walked—
New York far below

[oranggunung]

New York far below,
accelerating closer -
Wall Street’s swallow dive

[PhilipCFJohnson]

Wall Street's swallow dive
Into the shallow futures
Where the world follows

[nar]

Where the world follows,
like this dumb six thousandth post,
on a haiku train.
