The Haiku Game

Post by **Dread Poet Jethro** » Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:23 pm

To recall their childhood
Is what prompts the follies of
Many midlife men

Dear deer of the dawn
I used your third line, but it
Has six syllables

Many midlife men
Trade in lifelong partners
For never models

For newer models
The hot pursuit never ends
A taste of honey

A taste of honey
bee-stung but unrepentant
fool and his money...

A fool and his money
Make a good evening's companions
Unless in Vegas

Unless in Vegas
unblinking neon control
as you pull levers

As you pull, levers
tip, oscillate your psyche.
Very tricky, Life.

Very tricky, Life.
certainly better than death
a zero some loss

Post by **deer of the dawn** » Sat Sep 17, 2011 12:16 pm

A zero-sum loss
To bear my cross
laughing anyway

Post by **sgt.null** » Sat Sep 17, 2011 6:59 pm

laughing anyway
winning arguments always
tank posters fear me

Post by **Ananda** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 2:33 am

Tank posters, "Fear me!"
The war machine never stops
I prefer ice cream

It is ironic
that the Haiku Game was not
started by Jethro

Post by **sgt.null** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 6:23 am

started by Jethro
and following rules perhaps?
lion failed in this

Post by **Ananda** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 7:23 am

Lion failed in this
Teeth aren't what they used to be
The zebra escapes

Post by **deer of the dawn** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 9:52 am

The zebra escapes
The jackals cry
life goes on

Post by **Dread Poet Jethro** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 3:57 pm

Life goes on
Deer and lion flout rules, but
Their poems are good

Post by **dANdeLION** » Fri Sep 23, 2011 6:16 pm

Their poems are good
And a true poet would not
Let rules chain him

Post by **sgt.null** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 11:00 am

Let rules chain him
so non-standard poetry?
never find me there

Post by **dANdeLION** » Sat Sep 24, 2011 9:52 pm

never find null there?
then non-standard poetry
should be our new name!

Post by **sgt.null** » Sun Sep 25, 2011 12:47 am

should be our new name!
better than horrible puns
based on a lion....
