Haiku

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Wet apple orchard
Drip droppin' apples sweatin'
Autumn comin' soon

 

[Voboy]

No apples to bob,
No frost gnawing at the night.
Fall is faraway.

5 Haikus

I erase the days--
to make room for the future.
My presence isn't present.


I am killing me.
Today I'll try to repair--
what I did before.


I've gotten so used--
to wearing this mask that I--
don't recognize me.


The miles are safe.
I can feel you from here just--
fine. Keep your distance.


Every drop of--
alcohol brings me one step--
closer to my dad.

 

[Voboy]

You fail. Bucket drains.
It can ALWAYS be refilled.
You are not your past.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

The night breathes deeply.
The sun rises each morning.
One day at a time.

 

[AlinaX]

this distasteful blood
is a proof, if nothing else,
that my heart still beats

~ meaning nothing more than trivial daily misfortunes

 

[ImpishSeraph]

Forever working
Sweet hexagonal patterns
Dangerously sweet

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Love like reckless youth.
Love like the thunder rumbles.
Love like endless rain.

 

[Voboy]

The new labyrinth:
Wires, spilling from the bass:
Colors blend, confused.


*I took "wires" as two syllables. I'm not sure I should have.

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Plop! Frog dives right in.
I never see him again.
But ripples linger.

[Bamagan]

Betting pool idea:
How long 'til that thread gets locked?
No wooden nickels.

 

[Bamagan]

If hair equals drapes,
and bush is carpet, then pits...
Valence? Window scarf?

 

[Bamagan]

I guess a bare mound
equates to a hardwood floor,
or maybe nice tile.

 

[Voboy]

Tastes change over time.
As years slur together, think:
"Shag:" carpet? Other?

 

[Voboy]

I guess a bare mound
equates to a hardwood floor,
or maybe nice tile.

Bleak Pele's mound, rise!
Bare outside, molten within:
O, rich metaphor!

 

[Bamagan]

Goddesses volcanic
Can oft be dangerously
Multiorgasmic

 

[Voboy]

Peril. Hot wrath. Flames.
Villagers flee, in panic...
"Look! You made me squirt!"

 

[Bamagan]

Twas all that fracking,
caused earth-shaking climaxes.
Flooded the canyon.

 

[Voboy]

Eager frackers suck.
Energetic. No finesse.
Gotta keep things moist.

 

[AlinaX]

my turbulent core
a raging furnace deeper
than the pricks of men

 

[Bamagan]

O, tectonic lust!
Hot continental frottage!
Subduct me, my love!

 

[Voboy]

Pride goes before falls.
What goes after missed PKs?
Ronaldo weeping.

 

[DeepInstinct]

Wow! What a goalie!
Save, after save, after save
Portugal's savior

 

[Jackie.Hikaru]

Your soul, a sparrow
My heart, a sparrow-eater
Pouncing upon you.

 

[Bamagan]

Feathers on the porch...
Something that might be a leg...
Guess your heart was full.
