Haiku

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Old house by the lake.
Windows shuttered. Doors off hinges.
Bats in the attic.

Old house by the lake.
Windows shuttered. Doors off hinges.
Bats in the attic.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SYLLABLE ALERT!


House as metaphor:
Aging, creaky, past its prime
Just like those inside.

As the saying goes:
Even monkeys fall from trees.
I am a monkey.

 

[Bamagan]

As the saying goes:
Even monkies fall from trees.
I am a monkey.

Poor little monkey.
It sucks being grounded, huh?
Have a banana.

 

[Voboy]

Exposed. Erect. Stark.
Eager waits the sweet, nude flesh.
Mouth spreads. Banana!

[AlinaX]

tighten the coil spring
sweet friction, thrust after thrust
unwind into bliss

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Legs coil like tight springs.
Blue heron readies herself
To fly from the sun.

 

[elizaloo]

Rashly made changes

Often create eternal

Regret and despair

 

[DeepInstinct]

Under moonlit skies
Finding our way together
Curious. Eager

 

[AlinaX]

mole whiskers twitching
we find our way through the dark
into brilliance

 

[Voboy]

Speech solicited,
Then shitcanned. Ironic, that.
Pot. Kettle. Black? Hot?

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Steamed hot by campfire
Knee slapping fun, all smoked up.
Bright stars there sleeping.

 

[AlinaX]

a party laid bare
beneath the magellanic clouds
sleep impossible

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

laid bare, beach bleached bones,
bright as moon on foamy sea,
Beaming with a smile.

 

[Voboy]

Starry surf near dawn:
Waves lap and fret, seeking shore.
Salted silence falls.

 

[AlinaX]

when the water's gone
we will weep for all the waves
that break no longer

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Tell me what you are.
An angel from Montgomery?
A dead peckerhead?

In my head, Montgomery is 2 syllables... fight me!

As you might be able to tell, John Prine songs are my current obsession.

 

[AlinaX]

too stupid to live?
get what you deserve... but don't
invite me inside

 

[intim8]

Open before me
Breathless and eager, wanting
I fall into heaven

 

[DeepInstinct]

Rocking in the chair
Parent and child bonding time
Books. Laughter. Cuddles.

 

[DeepInstinct]

Running through the park
Youthful anticipation
Secret lovers meet

 

[Deleted member 6607120]

Your vainglorious
nature surprises me not
but still disappoints

 

[Voboy]

Disappointment comes
From much of life. Expected?
The version online.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

You can't buy the wind.
You can't buy the crashing waves.
You can't buy my love.
