Haiku Train

[jisbell00]

a street party dish
fish and chips in newspaper
get yesterday's news!

[Macavity]

get yesterday's news
in compost, never regret
this cherry blossom

[Lia]

this cherry blossom
sakura of fleeting pink
falls a samurai

[Macavity]

falls a samurai
falls a sword, and our blacksmith
makes spades, hoes and forks

[Amadis]

makes spades, hoes and forks
off like the thief he has been
repent not but move

[Macavity]

repent not but move
on beyond the apple grove
to cherry blossoms

[Lia]

to cherry blossoms
I letter in softest fude
this, a human life

[Ryder]

this, a human life
a phantasmagoria
and a human life

[Lia]

and a human life
the kaleidoscope rotates
with a human life

[Macavity]

with a human life
blossom does not drift again
to lose innocence

[Amadis]

to lose innocence
Glittered breasts peacock feathered
androgynous rhythms

[Lia]

androgynous rhythms
we two bound by one body
Hermaphroditus

[Amadis]

Hermaphroditus
What joy to the temple god
all comers welcome

[Macavity]

all comers welcome
to heat or cold in rooms with
loneliness spiders

[Amadis]

loneliness spiders
If not by stealth or blind
it not be a trap

[Lia]

it not be a trap
the web she fashions nightly
but morning's lacework

[Macavity]

but morning's lacework
winking a glass of promise
and indeed why not?

[Lia]

and indeed why not?
if the window beads with dew
wear dawn's new necklace

[Lia]

wear dawn's new necklace
tides ebbing from night harbours
masts clink on the strand

[Macavity]

mast clink on the strand
the Jack Tars stagger aboard
happy, penniless

[Lia]

Happy, penniless
at Huanhua, with thatch
Yan Wu builds my peace



(might be taking liberties talking about DuFu)

[Ryder]

Yan Wu builds my peace
Oblique stems of bamboo
Grey and blue water

[Amadis]

Grey and blue water
a generational mix
air itself changes

[Macavity]

air itself changes
with flame breathing cyclamen
borders winter spring

[Ryder]

borders winter spring
still the pink of the blackbird
at dusk from the scrub
