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

before the sun breaks
its yolk all over my hair -
one last mirror look.

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.

be inaccurate

be inaccurate,
that's all I will ever be,
always in the wrong

it is always another hand that guides me.

always in the wrong --
wake up anew, try again;
life will still move on

In a shadow there is the blessing of a shadow.

life will still move on
even if you're not around
to witness it with.

I was born to speak all mirth and no matter.
