Haiku Train

[Amadis]

at dusk from the scrub
Bunyip circle us
Children of weeping mothers

[Amadis]

Children of weeping mothers
flowers of future
See the dawn as new life grows

[Lia]

see the dawn as new life grows?
a flare of rose-light
morning's flutter of young hearts

[Ryder]

morning's flutter of young hearts
unborn thoughts like airborne seeds
through still summer days

[CalebPerry]

The world is a pond,
but the pond has grown so large
everyone is lost.

[Macavity]

Hi Caleb,
This is a haiku 'train' :

Start your haiku with the last line of this one, try to make it relate somehow. Then the next person will do the same to yours.

Bw

Phil

[CalebPerry]

I'm sorry. I thought it was just a place to post haikus. I should have examined the thread more closely.

The next person who posts should ignore my haiku, or you can delete it.

[Ryder]

Everyone is lost
and they clog up the stairwells
white knuckle hand rails

[Lia]

(Just connecting up the train, Ryder)


(Ryder)
morning's flutter of young hearts
unborn thoughts like airborne seeds
through still summer days

(Lia)
through still summer days
we cool like frogs in bright pools
the world is a pond

(Caleb)
The world is a pond,
but the pond has grown so large
everyone is lost.

(Ryder)
Everyone is lost
and they clog up the stairwells
white knuckle hand rails


…......

white knuckle hand rails
will lead the slow-footed steps
door gasps up ahead

[Ryder]

door gasps up ahead
a robot silhouette
hum of a laser

[Macavity]

hum of a laser
that zaps a parasite horde
and saves the planet

[Lia]

and saves the planet
and sighs the homestead and fen
woods echo the wren

[Macavity]

woods echo the wren
a feisty challenge perhaps
a habit of joy

[Ryder]

a habit of joy
an ode to it even trees
list to the maestro

[ton321]

list to the maestro
that sounds like bubblegum
always popping off

[Ryder]

always popping off
caps in our asses while we
go about business

[Lia]

go about business
that is ours and not our own
the mind made fallow

[Macavity]

the mind may follow
maps but river willows sway
a meander stroll

[Mharr2000]

A meander stroll
through the leaves dropping off trees
cold winds bring forth change

[Mharr2000]

Cold winds bring forth change
Time to find your woollen hats
Maybe a scarf too!

[Macavity]

Maybe a scarf too
of clouds across the canvas
with snowcap mountains

[Mharr2000]

With snow cap mountains
Add fir tres and the sky too
Makes a scenic view

[Ryder]

Make a scenic view
or offer shade to the dead
glooms of the yew tree

[Macavity]

glooms of the yew tree
cloth nameless stones being dug
up for new build homes
