@edgarblythe,
He leapt off and flew
flying is really great fun
landing hurts like hell

@Seizan,
Landing hurts like hell
When you pull a sweet bike jump
But the seat falls off.

@iamsam82,
"But the seat falls off...!"
A bicycle built for two
on a bumpy road.

@Seizan,
on a bumpy road
of life we travel hoping
we'll arrive one day!

@vonny,
We'll arrive one day
And regret the times we asked,
"Are we there yet?" Fools.

@edgarblythe,
Slipping by icebergs
each in their own Titanic
with their eyes wide shut

@Seizan,
With their eyes wide shut,
The leaders pushed dots on maps;
Pipe smoke masked cordite.

@iamsam82,
Pipe smoke masked cordite
smell of napalm in the morn
it's not a movie...

@Seizan,
It's not a movie!
It's not a horror, Twilight,
With veggie vampires.

@iamsam82,
With veggie vampires
creating veggie dishes
Comedy unfolds

@vonny,
Comedy unfolds
but tragedy crashes down
glass shards and splinters

glass shards and splinters
in the minds of the victims
their children escape

@edgarblythe,
Their children escape.
they can never know the fears
their elders grew by

(Sorry, a slight paraphrase of CSN&Y song, but seemed so apropos here)

@Seizan,
Their children escape.
It's each generation's gift
To bury the last.

@iamsam82,
To bury the last
Means, perforce, they were not last.
Lonely the digger.

Lonely the digger
drops shovel, clutches breast, falls
no one fills the grave

@Seizan,
No one fills the grave
No one to wield the shovel
Charon's unemployed...

@Seizan,
Charon's unemployed!
Great joy and equal sadness
in the last crossing
