Haiku Chain

[Mark Foote]

since we're all bums here

no pretentious illusions;

all equal no-things

 

all equal no-things

living and dying, the same

have a piece of cake

[Brian]

all equal no-things

living and dying, the same

have a piece of cake

Have a piece of cake

Or maybe a slice of pie?

Life is short, they say...

Have a piece of cake

Or maybe a slice of pie?

Life is short, they say...

 

life is short, they say

yet to really live, we die

the wind plays a tune

[manitou]

the wind plays a tune

a manifesting ditty

from the mind of void

[9th]

from the mind of void

the space between endless realms

divides and unites

that none understands

the everlasting secret 

of a good toothpaste

that none understands

the everlasting secret 

of a good toothpaste

 

of a good toothpaste

one can say, that feels better!

don't miss your water...

of a good toothpaste

one can say, that feels better!

don't miss your water...

don't miss your water

mountain tea leaves are gathered

let the brewing start

[manitou]

'of my dit da jow'

total enigma to me

I'll keep my Smooth Move   

[C T]

than having some prunes

how they speak in Ostrayyah

beats me what they sain'

[Mark Foote]

Beats me what they sain'

But is what they're sayin' sane?

exit, coming up

leaving the forest below

clarity at last

[Apech]

Clarity at last.

Enlightenment! Awak'ning!

---Both useless subjects.

 

 

Both useless subjects,

And royal heads they will roll,

Are basket cases.

Both useless subjects,

And royal heads they will roll,

Are basket cases.

 

are basket cases

full of Easter surprises?

eggheads everywhere

[C T]

Eggheads everywhere...

where is my white fluffy cat?

**Looks up a few posts**

 

 

(Nah...I've got to kick the habit of egghead-ery)

Looks up a few posts

crunching an apple, she winked, 

"come Haiku with me"

[sagebrush]

"come Haiku with me"

off the beaten path-deer trails,

the knolls of your mind.

[Apech]

"come Haiku with me"

off the beaten path-deer trails,

the knolls of your mind.

 

 

The knolls of your mind,

Those piles of abandoned thoughts.

Conceptual hillocks.

[Brian]

The knolls of your mind,

Those piles of abandoned thoughts.

Conceptual hillocks.

Conceptual hillocks

Make mountains out of molehills

Majestic vistas

Conceptual hillocks

Make mountains out of molehills

Majestic vistas

Were glimpsed from my palanquin

Without leaving home.

[Brian]

Without leaving home...

You have a palanquin? Sweet!!!

Without leaving home.

[sagebrush]

Without leaving home.

No Sirree! not me. Alas,

An "A" round table.

 

(note not the alphabet "a" but  "A" as in Algonquin)

Has too many articles

Till you think 'bout it.

[C T]

till you think 'bout it

you wouldn't know what to do

when your number's up

till you think 'bout it

you wouldn't know what to do

when your number's up

 

when your number's up

you breathe your last; like the first,

in so many ways

[manitou]

in so many ways

the problem is underfoot

worms have feelings too
