Bookworm Buddies discussion

I thought I'd see if anyone is interested in a little haiku since we all seem to be so creative around here. The idea is simple, just come up with a haiku based off the whatever the previous person picked. When your finished with your haiku, pick something for the next person.

Although there's wiggle room on the exact format, lets stick to the 5-7-5 format (3 lines, 1st 5 syllables, 2nd 7, 3rd 5). Don't be afraid of looking silly, I'm not!

I will start it off with Hatchet!

A hatchet sinks deep

My last vision the night sky

Stars mourn my passing


Next up: Moon

I really hate the moon

It's fat and ugly like butter

I hope it melts fast

(I feel so stupid!..)

Steak

Raw steak dripping blood

Dead cow lying in a field

The man eyes wild, runs


Next: Knife

A womans heart scorned

The philanderer's folly

A sharp knife cuts deep


Next: Halloween

Caramel apples

Blood, gore, knives, chainsaw feature

On the old T.V.

Next. Book

Magic on the page

Takes me to another place.

Hogwarts, anyone?


Next: Spider

Back packs and school books,
First kisses and school dances,
Memories of school.


Lilies

(My first shot at this, did I do it right?)

Beautiful colors
fragrances swirl in the air
Lilies are divine

Ocean

Yes, Janie, it's perfect!

Gentle waves caress
the rocky, sandy shores of
tropical islands.

(Why do I have the feeling that we're about to have a False Memory moment?

Cheez-Its

Crunchy little squares
Crushed by a boulder's pressure
Crumbs trail behind ruin.

Next: Swans

Wings stretched like magic
Quietly dancing in air
Kissed by morning dew

rainbow

Bright color streaked across sky
Like paint on a canvas
Colors match the hue of blue

Money

How can something green
have so much meaning in life,
Can't live without it.

sleep

Sleep is the dream world
Anything can happen here
Scary or happy or sad

Hey, Kathyrn :-). What's the next topic?

Hey Tee27! Sorry I forgot to post the next topic.

So, the next topic is:

Cupcakes

Too white and serene
The cold seeping thru my skin
Winter, I hate thou!

Eyes

Piercing through my soul
The rich depths swallow me up
You found my window.

daylight

The place where daylight
Fades is where I make stories
That I share with you.

(Where Daylight Fades is the name of my blog.)

Heaven

Pictures lock memories
Memories shows the past
The past is gone.

Tree

Dead casting shadows
Crawl upon my walls at night
Tree in the moonlight

Mouse

Small as a block of cheese
Brushes by the sockless foot
Thunder does not mute the sound

Dimples

Small sign of smiles
Happiness lingers inside
Brightness is there too.

Coffee

Oh how I love you
Smelling fresh in the morning
Dark roast in my cup

Coral

My deep love for you
You saved our precious child
Sacrificed your life

('Finding Nemo' I call this Fan Haiku LOL)

Forever

I will wait for you,
If forever last always,
Or I'll die trying.

Pink

Lighter shade of red
Beautiful in evening sky
You color my world

Blessings

Its God-given grace
A baby in arms, I watch
with delightful eyes

Soul

What a beautiful poem, Hud!

Soul brings sudden joy
To those touched by its smooth grace
Love is transmuted

Courage

(LOL Tee I was gonna say the same thing! Loved it Hud!)

Stand true in God's Grace
Waiting on the battle lines
Supporting our Troops

Willow

Nice one Janie

I fight for freedom,
As free as a willow tree,
Else I die trying.

Thanks Kisha, we need a word. LOL

Darn it I always forget that lol

brave

Yes, fireman brave
Your trepidation wavers
It's time to be you.

Laughter

Gurgling from the heart
Make my life complete and full
Love your burning wit

bread

Soft and chewy good
You fill my mouth with flavor
My scrumptious delight

Eternity

Life has finale beat
Like a song fading, yet hums
Ceaseless, to my ears

Books

(thanks to all, you guys do great too.)

Square piece of treasure
You call me to your pages
Secret rendevous

The essence of poems,
The haiku is unadorned,
Beautiful, minute.

lightning

My veins flashed like hot
Lighting and my face crumbled
with disappointment


Milk

Moo moo goes the cow
The white, sweet liquid out
comes, so tasty


Boredom

With nothing to do
I sit and twiddle my thumbs
Staring into space


Hair

Black as a night sky
soft like silk to my touch
her lovely hair


food

The sustaining force
if removed nothing can thrive
food nourishes all


daughter

The day she was born
I felt I was born anew
born anew for her sake

candy

Good one Gavin!

Sticky sweet drowning
creamy smooth suffuication
a death by candy

Oops, forgot to leave a word,

island

Sneaking to my room
A pocket filled with candy
I am not sharing

music

Fills my soul with joy
Lyrics playing in my heart
It lifts my spirits

Autumn
