346802 stop in snowy woods
pause to rest, clear my head, breathe
miles more to go

(very loosely based on "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost)


message 2: by Alicia (new)

919449 Gone With the Wind
Love, war, betrayal
Scarlett: Proud, noble, stupid --
I don't give a d*mn.

Macbeth
A wife's ambition
Witches brew and prophesy --
Now: His turn to die.

Winnie the Pooh
Sing, my silly bear,
And through your song, please teach me
The meaning of life.

346802 Billie Jean

We were not lovers
throwing caution to the wind:
The kid's not my son.

919449 Oh, my! I was shocked!
At first glance, I thought you meant
Ode to Billy Joe.


message 6: by Rachel (new)

346802 Billy Joe Armstrong:
Green Day front man, total hunk,
My first hopeless crush.

*Sigh*

my bounty comes from above
God's house is my house

678071 ok. finally thought of two. they could be better, but it's a start:

True love conquers all
and the six-fingered man dies.
Inconceivable!


Forgetful Lucy
There's nothing like a first kiss.
or a waffle house.

346802 Princess Buttercup
chooses true love, but too late?
"As you wish!" he cries.

I love The Princess Bride. :)

revenge, rodents and rhymes
true love triumphs

429846 Loud screeching voice
surprise instrument of God

His life for a star

message 13: by Arctic (new)

678071 If given the choice
between Rochester and John,
who would you prefer?

poor unfortunate
soul: to thine own self be true
you can do better

(a haiku in cliches, by Arctic)


[Jane Eyre]

919449 The star-crossed lovers
are absolute idiots.
They still make me cry.

Juliet and Romeo:
Death's cruel remains.
