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

Forgetting your shape,
Memories of you are gone;
I miss you so much

i miss you so much,
like moths drawn to dying flames;
brief, then nothing more.

I want to review your poetry!!

Brief, then nothing more,
That was my experience;
With what we call love.

With what we call love
We can stir it in a pot
And give a big toast

I like Gabber. I recommend that you should also listen to it.

and give a big toast
to the ghost in the corner
who's seen everything

Who's seen everything,
A God that no one will even know;
He stands in the shadows.

He stands in the shadows
Always unnoticed, watching
Yet in his own world
