Haiku for You

[Swatopluk]

the haiku cycle

----

Oh how so cruel
Can those pesky children be

[Lorst]

when haiku cycling


-------


'Return to sender'
Scrawled in red across the front

[Sibling DavidH]

No Lorst living here.




Haikus are for wimps.
Do pirates often write them?

[Swatopluk]

They are on the hook

---

Open your gunports
Before firing the cannons

[Lorst]

suggests Mary Rose


---------


What is this liquid
that is burning through my deck?

[Swatopluk]

Alien on board?

---

He who crosses swords
With the terrible Kali

[pieces o nine]

winds up with two hooks.



Necklaces of skulls
will be "the new black" this fall

[Sibling DavidH]

strung on intestines.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Cthulhu will come soon
He will provide the skulls.

[Swatopluk]

Dripping with goo though

---

When summer has come
The heat is unbearable

[Lorst]

Except in Svalbard


---------


Louder than thunder
the cannons hunt for targets

[Swatopluk]

and smell of sulphur

---

I have gravely sinned
There was squid on the menu

[Opsa]

but alas! no rum.

               

Oh little squidlings,
How you dance upon the waves

[Sibling DavidH]

Drinking all the rum



That is why they dance
Later, they'll be hung over

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Aspirins, for sure



It's hot, today--so

very, very hot; hotter; hottest

[pieces o nine]

too many syl'bles.
