M!!! Lol! I was trying to be serious, but you're being funny :P

To the dark tower
Childe Roland came, seeking time's
source and it's meaning.

Roland found, in the
dark and damp, a limiter,
keyboard, and an amp.

And he found an imp
and an elfin memory
that had lost its way.

By a babbling brook,
my musings laid bare a path
to Rivendell's arms.

like farts in a pool
bubbles from a sinking book
or a drowning elf

-o-

now that's just stupid... sorry guys!

oh my..what a comeback, Jim :P Lol!

Hah!

;)

Cuckoo Roadrunner
runs faster than my tabby
The wind beats us all.

The wind can blow in
trouble, that doesn't easily
blow back out again.

The banker’s poodle
made a smelly deposit
on the lobby floor.

All day we count, hope
For the money we keep,
But we still got robbed.


LOL, i don't know what i've write. =P

Carrot soup with pois
on a January day
Ribbons of gray steam

Carrot soup with pois
on a January day
White pepper accents.

the smelly old socks
were not so rank as the soup
the dog left behind

For my first haiku
I shall attempt to relate
A story for you

Of a man who ate
Things you would never dare eat
No matter your fate

He shuffles his feet
And moans and groans wordlessly
He finds killing neat

He won't let you be
For his food is truly you
Such is a zombie

You may just say boo
For I lied about the tale
Yet such is haiku

That for now I fail
Until my skills more refined
I've just now set sail

Upon this strange bind
Of words and verses unique
Now a trying grind


Well ... that was exhausting. I'm not sure if I should apologize for that yet.

Fantastic, Edward! Long overdue :)

Zombie haiku, and deftly rendered in haikuza rima! This is excellent, Edward. What a great way to start a morning!

Great job Edward

That was great fun to read, Edward! Nicely done and not only a great start to a morning, but a fantastic contribution to our thread of corrupt 5-7-5.

"When you sneeze, you laugh."
We ate fireflies for warmth
On those country drives.

He dined on fireflies
merrily and his poop glowed
like a Christmas tree.

Haha!

Oh, thanks y'all. That was a bit of an exercise to give my mind a break from the monotony. I got the rhyming scheme from Dante's Divine Comedy: ABA BCB CDC ... I found myself reading the original Italian without understanding a word of it.

Heh, eating fireflies.

I had intended to follow #6562 (which is very nicely written!) with something inspired and artistic, but my muse apparently thought it would be funny if instead I careened off the road into a ditch.

A funny ditch indeed.

I love the image you have painted in #6562, Daniel. There is a whole story lying just under the surface. Beautiful writing!

Fireflies in the night,
blue and red crash site flashes,
watch cars trickle past.

Thanks, Ryan! I love the visual you painted. My favorite part of Haikus

As I grabbed your hand
("Do I still make you feel home?")
In the rental car.

It was her feeling,
Of groping hands and warm breath,
That home was not here.

Can't go home again.
Not after all that you've done.
Bridges burned forever.

Her haven tainted
past recall, she turns for home
with a wrecking ball.

If you can twerk it,
you'll never need to work it.
Life of a pop star.

Hah! Nice link, Mandy.

Ha! Clever.

Thank you.

In my father's shoes,
I walked a crooked miley.
Now I go bare foot.

Delirously,
a friend laughed. “Are you Cyrus?
I mean serious?”

Lol! I've missed you guys! :P

You've been missed :)

Hello, Leslie! I’m just trying to keep up with Ryan.

No, I am neither.
I am Eddie Haskell, from
'Leave It To Beaver'.

Hour glass of winds
The extinction of animals
and I must love man?

Hour glass of winds -
The extinction of animals.
Sand is in my eyes.

Time waits for no one.
Slipping away silently,
until you run out.

Going in circles,
Never getting anywhere.
Tired of running.

Hamster on a wheel,
ball of fur on spinning steel,
I know how you feel.

I'm kind of lazy.
Maybe if I had a wheel
I would go and run.

Running, good when it's
exercise, but bad when it's
away from problems.
