Haiku of the Day

[Pucker]

Don't look too closely
Lest you be disappointed
In what you don't see

 

[Doc Creed]

Sapphire stars spinning.
Vincent, look above your head.
Night of blue velvet.

 

[Doc Creed]

Black ink filigree
River-dark cypress trees wade
Drowned Ophelia sighs.

 

[Doc Creed]

Sorry, these last two are pathetic. A bit forced, idk.

 

[Pucker]

Well ... I'm no competent judge. Poetry is clearly not my thing. But the Van Gogh one did put that treacly Don McLean song in my head, so you get no points for that. I'm a forgiving man by nature, Doc ... but there's a limit.


Morning comes colder
Dazzling in damp cornflower
Breakfast of fresh lies

 

[blunthead]

Frustrated today
Supervisor will be here
It's too much like work

 

[Pucker]

Wonder is costly
Pitiless and coldly cruel
And lives forever

 

[Arkay Lynchpin]

Back sprain last weekend
Advil ain't Oxycontin
It sucks to be me

 

[blunthead]

Back sprain last weekend
Advil ain't Oxycontin
It sucks to be me

(Some of these haikus are really good.)

 

[Pucker]

How am I become
Like a bottle in the smoke
Warm blue vagrant myth

 

[mjs9153]

Missing today
my flake noir
chocolate love..

 

[HollyGolightly]

‘ware the darkness, you
I danced with the devil once
You won’t escape me

 

[Pucker]

See Merlin laughing
Living backward as he does
He knows what comes next

 

[Pucker]

Not night but sorrow
A palette of blues and greys
Dear and gone too soon

 

[Pucker]

In fancy, it flees
But fast or far though it go
Here it yet remains
