The Infinite Haiku

[lizzytysh]

Anne amongst friends stays
Newfoundland cliffs and water
refreshing thoughts bring

[lazariuk]

refreshing thoughts bring
Ringo survives the diner
V calls Him Pumpkin

( I thought that might make a couple of thousands laugh)

[lizzytysh]

V calls Him Pumpkin
most people calling Him G~d
remember the choice

[lizzytysh]

remember the choice
sacred or profane for all
and mixture for some

[Harry S]

Anne amongst friends stays
Newfoundland cliffs and water
refreshing thoughts bring

refreshing thoughts bring
new ideas how to kill those
who post and don't wait


(the only attraction of this thread of gentle clichés is that no-one is in control, the next poster can divert your path completely. rather misses the point, Lizzy to post 27 in a row of your own)

remember the choice
sacred or profane for all
and mixture for some

and mixture for some
not consecutive for one
clearly good manners

[lizzytysh]

and mixture for some
Mom's Aunt Jemima pancakes
surely beats them all

[lizzytysh]

clearly good manners
surely beats them all, no order
kindness prevailing

[Harry S]

clearly good manners
kindness prevailing in words
surely beats them all

surely beats them all
for you just to acknowledge
don't answer your own


this thread is a mixture of good and bad, (unlike Jack). it is good if it entertains and people enjoy each others company. it is bad because it makes it even less likely that people will take time to write a proper poem. gentle clichés are so easy to write

but you need to at least follow the protocol and let others in to continue or divert your theme as they choose. you should show good manners and patience and not answer your own ******** posts!

["the only attraction"... "the gentle cliches"... "rather misses the point"... depends on one's individual point, as clearly already shown... and to count hyperbolically, misses the, but reenforces your own]

[lizzytysh]

don't answer your own
though 'tis done often before
rearrange the 'rules'

[Oooooo... Harry S]

[lizzytysh]

"proper poem" haikus
specific rules all their own
find them and follow

by answering your own posts you stop others playing the game. the game here is to follow up sympathetically or militantly someone else's writing. the simple clichés are a welcome challenge to answer with more creative diversion and perversion. you deprived me of the chance of dealing with yours.

rude and profane gone
