The Haiku Game

To bow when they died.
The archers withstood the charge.
One final volley.

One final volley
Jumping up and swinging hard
Helped us win the game.

Helped us win the game
And earned himself the title
Greatest of All Time.

Greatest of All Time
Unmatched in all the aspects
For which one is judged.

For which one is judged
By color, size, or wingspan
But not by the heart

(Couldn't help hearing
Deer's last line being sung by
Bon Jovi...and so:)

But not by the heart
Can you feel shame, because you
Know love is no game

Know love is no game:
Shot to the heart, you're to blame.
Bon Jovi Haiku.

Bon Jovi Haiku
Sounds about as wholesome as
Fast-food brand sushi.

Fast-food brand sushi
Seaweed ocean never saw
Salmon never swam.

Salmon never swam,
Nor did these leap aloft; they
give fish a bad name.

Give fish a bad name
Whiting, bream, jack sprat
Stickleback's revenge.

Stickleback's revenge:
small stinging bleeding punctures
in fisherman's hand

Post by **deer of the dawn** » Thu Mar 12, 2015 6:44 pm

In fisherman's hand
Salt-rotted rope callouses
Clutch one pale pink rose.

Clutch one pale pink rose
Strongly sing of love tonight
Give us tears of joy.

Give us tears of joy.
Ecstasy of raw, ripped bliss
in these rags of light.*

In these rags of light
May we be covered for now

'Til the money comes
eat your catsup casserole
drink your hot water

Post by **ussusimiel** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 6:37 pm

Drink your hot water
while you hold the precious tea
in your parched mouth. Ah!

In your parched mouth. Ah!
- sugar, milk, or lemon slice.
Wagon Wheels, for two.

Wagon wheels, for two.
Carving ruts through the prairie.
Heed river crossings!
