[M]

I’d sometimes get a
bath had I not run away
from problems in math.

[Ryan]

Steps calculated,
shy fingers climb lace ladders
to fishnet promise.

[M]

Those who have scaled her
fishnets’ rungs have spoken of
love in many tongues.

[Ryan]

His gossamer tongue
whispered her release, truly
a cunning linguist.

[Mandy]

After much searching
he finally found his way,
to her happy place.

[Ryan]

First time travelers
should check Google Maps before
heading Down Under.

[Amrie]

Then, he hit the road
Her pictures,his company
One sad litany

[M]

(The gutter in this thread is like a four-lane highway!)

[Ryan]

(The strange thing is that I don't think you can be held accountable this time, M...)

Very nice, Amrie.

[Mandy]

But he took a wrong
turn. Why could he not learn, to
ask for directions.

[Ryan]

Many pitfalls lie
on the long and bumpy road
'tween Venus and Mars.

behind the eight ball
mosey cat in the alley
scrawny and hungry

[Mandy]

Cocaine kitty cat,
tweaking on the window sill,
where is you next high?

[Ryan]

Bumping and speeding
down life's jagged highway, cat's
eyes shine in the night.

[[deleted user]]

The insomnia
of a mangrove's fisher cat
hunting and wild eyed.

(OCD MUCH, Cath?):)

[M]

You should pick the one you want and delete the other two.

[[deleted user]]

Thank you!

[Mandy]

Nocturnal rainbows,
guiding dark feline designs,
to purrfect conquest.

[Guy]

Nice, Mandy! Great play on words, and 'nocturnal rainbows' is such an evocative phrase. Great writing everyone.

Dark felines design
to conquer the nocturnal world
while eating breakfast.

[Ryan]

Guy!

[Ryan]

Without betrayal
death descends. A panther's kiss
hides a Cheshire grin.

[Mandy]

Five of nine lives left,
lost the last to Frosted Flakes
death, it is not grrrrreat.

[Ryan]

Cat-astrophes claim
lives five and four, I wonder
if she'll lose some more?

[Angie]

As long as she can
evade the family dog,
she will be just fine.

[Mandy]

Life number three she
gave for me, saving me from
a plum-rum drunk bum.

[Ryan]

Her second last life,
quickly over. Lost beneath
Father's Range Rover.

[Mandy]

Kitty's very last
life, lived in fear. Knowing the
end was oh so near.

[Angie]

Her very last life,
was taken with a wet splash,
falling in the pool.

[Mandy]

It was no kitty,
the wet gremlin turned into
many. Don't feed them!!!

[Angie]

A feline cuddle
was what you were expecting,
'til you felt her teeth.

[Mandy]

Feeding them after
midnight, makes a good Gizmo
something less cuddly.

[Angie]

My midnight snacking
has caused rotundity
yes I can't resist.

[Ryan]

Bat wings, mermaid gills;
a witches' brew at midnight
will fix all life's ills.

[M]

(Excellent, Ryan!)


She, when barn owls flew
a harvest moon, stirred her brew
with an iron spoon.

[Ryan]

(Thanks, M. Likewise)


The old world language,
magic of crones. Something dark
stirs, a cold wind moans.

[Nicky]

(First ever attempt at Haiku, here goes...)

Across the barren moor
He rode, witches curse unheard,
Dark fate entwines.

[Ryan]

Beautiful writing, Nicky. Your dark imagery is very nice.

This thread generally sticks to a 5-7-5 syllable layout for conformity. Sometimes it drifts into 5-7-5-7-7 as well.

[Mandy]

Thou shalt not tarry,
Or your bones I will bury,
Leaving just your soul.

[Angie]

Soul left in fragments
after hearing your singing:
That's how bad it was.

[[deleted user]]

No melody will
ever form when all we do
is clash like cymbals.

Sorry, it's been a while :D

[Angie]

Cymbals or symbols?
Homonyms are my weakness,
I sadly admit.

[Mandy]

Ann was weak for a
week, it had been from the bin
of Berry's berries.

[Ryan]

Picking blackberries
with Grandmother; purple lips
betray innocence.

[Mandy]

She was a sweet girl,
until boys entered her world,
each with a sweet tooth.

[[deleted user]]

A sweetly evil
tooth, is what they all had and
Ann stood no chance

[Mandy]

Ann wanted one man,
but many showed up instead.
How would she choose one?

[Ryan]

Many a young man
was a one-man-Ann fan. New
plan, away she ran.

[Angie]

She tripped as she ran,
But before she could fall down,
Prince Charming caught her.

[Mandy]

Snake charming he could,
making his big serpent dance,
until stiff it stood.

[Ryan]

I might leave that one for M...
