The Haiku Game

[zenji]

In Great Honour of a "Kallisti", the eclectic Le Elohm, I endeavour to continue the thread in Principia!

A ......5, 7, 5, format,  to include a "next topic" post!

Goes like this........

Across the valley
Grey misty vapours pour in.
Yorkshire Fog descends.

Next topic.......Mountains.

[Conquistadore Nunya]

Atop the plateau
the sound of man does not reach.
I recline in peace

I hope that one's good.  I'm a little rusty on haiku.

Next topic is the firmament, the ether, space, or what word you use for what envelops this place

[digiti puppet]

well now, philosophy class rears it's golden head :

think on heidegger
reach a hand past space : now do
we dwell in nothing?


okay there love. i answered yours....


next topic : cookies as a metaphor.

[Lord Trout]

Gee, left me an easy topic there, didn't you?  

In the vast, dark void,
a peanut-butter cookie
is better than air

Yes, I am rusty with the old haiku as well... Next topic:

"Farm Equipment"

[zenji]

Tractor pulling hay.
Insecticides sprayed about!
We all end up worms!

Next topic.....Water.

[Captain Tangent]

Spring is in the air
She said, as the clouds above
began to leak down.

Yes, that's bloody terrible, sorry.

Next topic: A man lying unconcious.

[Lister]

Let's try this haiku thing...

Five bottles of rum
Ten joints full of top-notch weed
I fear the morning

next topic: Fire

[Conquistadore Nunya]

This one's for the cabal homies

His hand hits the stove,
but Henry Rollins cares not -
He's stronger than fire!

Next topic: Frozen peas

[Lord Trout]

Stir-fry vegetables,
Frozen, with peas and corn,
Taste good with chicken

Next Topic... Hand Cream

[zenji]

Chapped fingers so dry.
"Neutragena" from Norway,
Saves flaking digits.


Next topic..........cellphones!

[Lister]

silence in train
broken by a disney tune
the pain will not end

next topic: Pizza

[Velvet Jesus]

Dough-faced pizza man,
your cheeks rise like baking bread.
Your grin is a knife.

Next topic:  clowns!  

[zenji]

White face and red lips.
His trousers always fall down.
The tears of a clown!

next topic.....statues.

[Velvet Jesus]

A head of marble
A wintry white sentinel
Eyes that cannot see.  

Next topic:  Kurt Vonnegut  

[Velvet Jesus]

Sorry, didn't mean to kill the haiku game!  I'll change the "Next Topic" to:  your choice.
