Haiku

[Voboy]

Rise, O paradox:
Does a spectrum have an end?
Or just a middle?

 

[AlinaX]

taking the limit:
x tends to one from below
and the end is white

 

[Voboy]

Into the darkness.
That's where we are said to go
At the end, not start.

 

[stickygirl]

Endless spectrums shine
Heat up supper with rainbows?
Just our blinkered view

 

[Voboy]

Magic trick: sprinklers.
My kids see me make rainbows.
Bonus: lawn watered.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

light broken apart
the irony of prisms
dividing the whole

 

[Voboy]

Brutal days, far off...
Ol' Vlad's preferred punishment?
Dividing the hole.

 

[AlinaX]

the dragon slumbers
dreaming of fair princesses
and their royal blood

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Dream on, ye dragon,
lest waking, ye discover
that the world is changed.

 

[AlinaX]

(I like that...)

the joy of living
to see new centuries born
against all the odds

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Life persists, finds ways,
like saplings push through concrete.
The wheel keeps turning.

[Voboy]

Living beyond time:
You want to live forever?
Bury descendants?

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Only 'now' still exists -
Tomorrow is a nightmare,
Yesterday a dream

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

"Now" is, was, will be.
It's everything and nothing.
The snake bites its tail.

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Recursion happens,
The snake biting its own tail
Over and over...

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Do echoes repeat,
or are they just impressions,
like spirals in time?

 

[stickygirl]

Duck quacks don't echo
Whoever made that theory
Must have been quackers

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

old man tells grand kids
quacks don't echo, smiles inside -
a new myth is born

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Mythology grows
By lies, jokes, confused hearing,
And evolution

 

[Voboy]

Unless you see it,
You hear about it later.
So then, all is myth.

 

[stickygirl]

The beach, each day blank,
Sins forgiven with salt tears.
Footprints cannot lie

 

[AlinaX]

the beach imported
fresh sand to replace the old
lost again at sea

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

like sand we tumble
adrift in the swirling waves
waiting for our beach


Really Lovely:

The beach, each day blank,
Sins forgiven with salt tears.
Footprints cannot lie

 

[Voboy]

Panko crumbs like sand
Crunch beneath bare feet. Kitchen.
Scotch eggs, anyone?

 

[stickygirl]

In your eyes I lived
Blind love stumbled from my path
See a stranger there
