Haiku for You

[Aphos]

I loved the Haiku Game.  Let's start a new one.

To remind...

A Haiku has 3 lines.  The first line has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables.

I will start by giving the first two lines of a haiku.

The idea of the game is for the next person to finish the haiku with the third line, then to start a new haiku with the first two lines.

So, to start...

--------------------------------------------

Crisis in our midst
Monastery is haven

[Opsa]

Crisis averted!


*******************************************

(Thank you for starting this. I missed it.)


A tear in the heart
Can be mended by our friends

[Outis the Unready]

So don't hide your love.



The presence of friends
reminds me that I am *loved*


[ If I EVER use "please pass the butter" please shoot me. In 7th grade, my teacher made us write shared Haiku all the time and I ended about 30 of them with "please pass the butter.]

[The Meromorph]

My heart always knew.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


The legs of this stool
Stand on sweet moderation

[Aphos]

Floor is comfy, too.

-------------------------------

Dogs barking loudly.
What is creeping in the night?

[Sibling Lambicus the Toluous]

Oh, it's just zombies.



beans, roasted and ground
mingled with boiling water

[ If I EVER use "please pass the butter" please shoot me. In 7th grade, my teacher made us write shared Haiku all the time and I ended about 30 of them with "please pass the butter.]

also ... That reminds me of two haikus a friend of mine made up:

I am so hungry
Give me food or I'll kill you
Please pass the ketchup

I am a chicken.
I am happy; I lay eggs.
Cluck cluck, cluck cluck cluck.

We all eat chili!

A tall tree fallen,
Rotting, bugs live inside it,

new ecology

Leaves of bright colors
Shorter days and longer nights

[Vita Curator]

Summer slips away

Dancing down life's road
Trying not to trip and fall

[The Meromorph]

Dancing on the Wheel

Old fat and lazy
Green toad slurping on the pad

[Duke]

Burping days away.


Dark wind at twilight,
Pushing away at the trees:

[Opsa]

Autumn comes at night



The haze is lifted
The light clearer than before

[The Meromorph]

Sunlight does so much!


@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


One round fat belly
Two wise and tolerant eyes

[Opsa]

And plenty of teeth.



The bread is toasted
Now what shall I put on it?

[Aphos]

Jam and butter, please.

(oh no...I said BUTTER!)

Buddha's fat belly
Rubbing it bestows good luck
