Haiku

[AlinaX]

ahh, fresh brewed coffee
left to cool by the window
while I go to work

 

[AlinaX]

some assholery
riles me up to no good end
I should just butt out

 

[Voboy]

As the breeze passes
So let others' words flow through
If they are cockhats.

 

[Voboy]

Lit’s underage rule?
Dancer in a leotard?
Neither is skirted.

 

[AlinaX]

two too fine a points
drawing lines on the dance floor
never to be crossed

ETA: Finds thread in question, rubs forehead worriedly, backs out quietly...

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Sometimes you have to
Break a few eggs to make a
Delicious omelette.

 

[Voboy]

I wander, perplexed,
Pining for analog tech
I can troubleshoot.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

When I was younger
I thought I'd live forever
Turns out that's not true.

 

[AlinaX]

to live forever
and see monuments topple
till all turns to dust

 

[Voboy]

Fast-flying fingers,
Images coaxed from nothing.
Not easy for me.

 

[AlinaX]

I draw images
with professional software
but none of it's art

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Professional art
Must be a non sequitur
Just like this poem ...

 

[AlinaX]

I cover stories
to add a glossy veneer
for easy judgement

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Stories tell the tale
Of the audience’s dreams
And the author’s kinks

 

[Voboy]

Creators create.
Their stories are not their lives.
They're the characters'.

 

[UsuallyPresent]

The characters’ lives
Dance to the author’s heartsong,
Cleverness, and hopes

 

[Voboy]

Simple characters?
Perhaps. But the best ones? No.
They become people.

 

[UsuallyPresent]

People matter, aye -
Minds dancing across pixels,
Writing, or written

 

[AlinaX]

oh what dark mischief
given infinite power
would our souls permit

 

[Voboy]

Dogma hurts my soul.
Creative urges stifled.
…ironic. Haiku.

 

[AlinaX]

I joined mastodon
to get away from twitter
but now I'm alone

 

[UsuallyPresent]

There are many ways
To shout into the abyss
And be sold for ads

 

[Voboy]

Modern soapbox stance:
A town crier. What are you?
A commodity.

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Vocalization
Is purest self-expression
Until it gets paid

 

[Voboy]

That’s bad enough. But.
Now somebody else gets paid
For your sincere words.
