be careful, karren. there are quite a few deviants in here, and you could be giving them ideas.

I am shocked to hear this G! Can't believe such people could be found here in the back room of the forum.

boss' contribution was disqualified due to failure to adhere to the strict '5-7-5 syllable' rule.

And there's me thinking I was the only one here to demand complete compliance.

He pulled up the zip
Of the dusty garment bag
Revealing the dress.

(artistic licence employed: changed "and" to "he". If you can skip someone's poem, I can change a word!)

Revealing the dress,
a lone thought escaped his eye
and rolled down his cheek

Revealing the dress,
a lone thought escaped his eye
and rolled down his cheek

and rolled down his cheek
as he cut off his two legs
and then shot himself

[LisaLCFan]

And then shot himself.
With a sharp gasp, he awoke.
It was just a dream.

[Karren B]

And then shot himself.
With a sharp gasp, he awoke.
It was just a dream.

It was just a dream;
a beautiful, painless dream
till it was over.

[LisaLCFan]

Till it was over,
Silent they remained. And then,
Applause like thunder.

[Geoffrey]

Till it was over,
Silent they remained. And then,
Applause like thunder.

Applause like thunder.
then a big meteorite
smashed the earth to bits.

[LisaLCFan]

Applause like thunder.
then a big meteorite
smashed the earth to bits.

Smashed the earth to bits,
To save the universe from
Geoffrey's dismal verse.

Geoffrey's dismal verse
portrays his haiku hatred,
but still makes me smile.
