Here's how it goes. . .the first line of the next person's haiku must be the same as the last line of the previous person's haiku. (My definition of haiku being just the 5-7-5 thing, not the complicated Japanese naturey thing.)
This could be good fun
More than being swallowed by
A crazy rabbit
Edit: Title changed
A crazy rabbit
On life's shadowed parlour track;
Oh! How stars fade fast.
Oh! How stars fade fast
And gnarled goblins dig the earth.
Under there, coal lies.
Under there, coal lies
Sleeping; on top, shadow men
Build shrines to nothing.
Build shrines to nothing
Alone in the wilderness
Where the palm tree nods.
Where the palm tree nods
elephants graze in the dark
Zebras love moonlight
Zebras love moonlight
Sunlight blinds dark shadows
Beauty in contrast
Beauty in contrast
To the ravages of time
Lies within my heart
Lies within my heart
Appear to the pure as true.
I have such black thoughts.
I have such black thoughts.
Constant, springing from somewhere
I once was.
Fee fie foe fumble,
Hey nonny nonny no no,
Ho! Calloo! Callay!
Ho! Calloo! Callay!
Said in some drunken corner. Who
Rewards with no price?
Rewards with no price?
The cost is paid by all men
Spoils go to the few
"Spoils go to the few"
Too many syllables there
Haikus are silly
Haikus are silly
poetry comes easily
it should be tougher
"It should be tougher,"
says Mr. T, getting mad;
"I pity the fool!"
I pity the fool
love intellegent thinkers
Mean people still suck!
I pity the fool
He's not alone in this world
The fools pity me
