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

The wind gives new life
To green tattered leaves sighing
As they slip to earth

as they slip to earth
curious petals glance upwards
looking for the sun

Looking for the sun
Young birds fly higher than the
Spires tapping skies

Colors swirling all over me

My joy ascending
To leaves around me - fruit trees
Only look so young

Only look so young
To be stripped of your great youth
Growing, Maturing...

Growing, maturing
Into young, polite women
With old, musty ties

With old, musty ties
Breaking toxic bonds and love
Romance starts to die

Romance starts to die
And perhaps that’s for the best
Alone, I’m enough.

Alone, I'm enough
To feed my selfish, small mouth
And be satisfied

Unbearable shame,
but I have started to heal.
I shed my old skin.
