Haiku Train

BarrettBenedict · 2009-04-26T07:14:14Z

This is pretty simple and can be lots of fun. The premise is you take the last line of the haiku before yours and make it the first as yours. It doesn't necessarily have to be the exact line either. If you can cleverly change it in subtle ways so that it rhymes or sounds the same that is also cool. Example: This is a haiku five, seven, five syllables would be the format ... could be a doormat were it not for the large head must be tiger's skin etc. So here's a starter haiku: old film reels rotate monochrome images of what dogs imagine

We find our flight wings,
We find our feathers twirling
Into old thunderstorms

Into old thunderstorms
flies the plane of love until
drowned in memories

There is always something left to love.

Drowned in memories
Like lost love and hopeless grief
Flapping away on breath

flapping past on breath
my words slip to another world
i leave nothing said

When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

Like moaning grey wolves,
defend our territories
and cry to the moon.

And cry to the Moon
Because my tears are starstruck
Frozen to my face

Frozen to my face
Is my red blood trickling down
