Haiku Train

[Marc]

A tyred car was
more pleasant for Mrs Brown
on her way to church.

[Suzanne]

on her way to church
she had stomach butterflies
twas because of hymn.

[Lake]

twas because of hymn
she stays tuned to Ballad
in a tired car

[Marc]

In a tired car
they ran out of petrol late
one warm summer's night

[Lake]

one warm summer's night
no different than others
fireflies light road lamps

[Suzanne]

fireflies light road lamps
crickets play their hopeful tunes
summertime dances.

[oranggunung]

Summertime dances
in bright and vivid colours:
birds and butterflies.

[Suzanne]

birds and butterflies
hide deep within hushed greens
anxious to take flight.

[Pauline]

anxious to take flight,
because I am afraid of heights.
I'll take the train instead

[Suzanne]

I'll take the train instead
be dragged over the platform
with a cheeky grin.

[Pauline]

with a cheeky grin,
I slip my hand into his back pocket.
Thanks for the new dress.

[nar]

Thanks for the new dress --
everybody's havin' fun.
Autumn/Winter range.

[Suzanne]

autumn/winter range
open season, covert gear
he breaks her weapon..

[nar]

He breaks her: Weapon
in hand, soul in back pocket --
with torn foil wrapper.

[Pauline]

with torn foil wrapper
tucked tightly into my pocket,
I sneak the toffee in my mouth.

[Suzanne]

toffee in my mouth
cold flint stone held in his palm
spark on wet paper

[Marc]

Spark on wet paper.
Liquid trudge with washing up.
Waking up twisted.

[juliadebeauvoir]

Waking up twisted
when you went to bed just fine
is a conundrum.

[nar]

Is a conundrum?
Or is it not? If it is -
it's not to work out.

[anniecat]

it's not to work out
coz the gyms to tough for me
stay at home instead

[nar]

stay at home instead --
deactivated in bed.
Stay in - at homestead.

[juliadebeauvoir]

Stay in-at homestead
she said to the cowboy,
served up grits n' bread.

[arunansu]

served up grits n' bread
the autumn
to a hungry poet

[juliadebeauvoir]

To a hungry poet,
words are not enough to eat,
they eat their hearts out.

[tool]

they eats there hearts out
as i kiss my girl
under the lamp light blackout
