Official Haiku Thread

For those who don't know what it is:
Wikipedia
Get onto it.

Basically, I write a haiku, and the next person to reply takes a word from my haiku and writes his or hers own haiku. Then, another person comes along and does the same for the person that replied the me. And on it goes.
And so! I present to you, the beginning haiku:

As the thread begins
I craft a beautiful work
Of boredom and beer.

 

Dark craft threads its way
night conceals illicit work
along ink black canals

 

Canals of venice -
Made of romantic beauty:
Fashionable? Love.

 

The love of a Cat
Goes not by the heart, but by
His groaning stomach.

(I've never written one before =P I have no idea if I did this right.)

 

Heart-beat breaks silence,
Fluttering like butterflies,
Signs of one in love

 

Prowling predator
Gleaming bright all-seeing eyes
Cat runs down her prey

 

Down 'neath the bridges
Where night hides, devious deals
Made in spite and hate.

 

A world torn in two,
Hate and bigotry confuse.
Where has the love gone?

 

winding round and round
a little top to confuse
playful toy to use

 

The playful kitten.
A bundle of fur and purrs,
A glorious gift.

 

a gift given free
full of love wrapped within gold
silver ribbon too

 

A hug wrapped with love
A kiss to take the pain from
Amidst her broke heart.

(rofl, I fail.)

 

love lost over time
long forgotten was the kiss
and the lover's touch

 

On the wings of Chronos
Lonely stranger sets things right
Final Lord of Time

 

Stranger in the house.
A father she wouldn't know.
Nor would he know her.

Hrm. I need to get better at this or suffer more embarrassment.

 

Lord of greivous thoughts:
Happiness breaks the hand that
Feeds? Rather, poisons?

 

Poison: hidden in
a chocolate, wrapped in foil
of love it will spoil

 

Spoil! Ha, spoiled brat,
With liqeur and cigarretes
Dancing on your breath...

 

Dancing tear of flame
Clinging to a fragile wick
Candle in a draft

 

Dancing in the rain.
The insanity of it.
The pure extacy.

(hrm. I need to practice =P)

 

(spelling correction - ecstasy)

Salty rain of tears
Needless violence stole life
Empty stands a home

 

upon the salty
shores it sets, little paper
a child's lost toy boat

 

Haiku's are hard when your not experienced. Keep practiving though.

Rain might spoil the mood
Of this drunken masquerade:
"Please, may we share beds?"

^^ OUch that was a bad one.

 

Stabbing silver blades
Penetrating sheets of rain
Thunder crashes last

 

A war fought bravely
One last watery drenched soul
Oh summer days!

rofl Yeah. Not that it makes sense to anyone but me
