Mere miles from here
Others march to stop the war
Yet I do this

Beneath dark colors
Claw for release, breath the air
Flying free with words

Jaye Wells said...

Despite all efforts
Hypnosis and therapy
A freak, I remain

Bill Cameron said...

An empty place calls,
A sheet of clean white paper
It begs for color

anne frasier said...

s.w. vaughn said...

Oooh, what a cool idea! I like reading these... wicked!

Okay, here's mine:

Bugger off, people!
I won't tell your stories. No!...
Fine. Where is that pen?

Julia Buckley said...

It's revision time;
A keyboard of fucking doom
Under my fingers.

Oh, Pardon my French!
I'm mainly Julie Andrews
in a Joan Jett world.

unfunny secrets
fate is a mother fucker
laugh at my expense

emeraldcite said...

brooding in silence
the dark is afraid of me
because I am it

Daniel Hatadi said...

after many years
learning to play the guitar

Heather Harper said...

My hands became raw from clapping.

I still do math on my fingers, too. ;)

My pen is broken
Where is an alternative
A computer wins

I don't do haiku
But I will dye my hair blue
And ride a scooter.

See, there's a reason I don't do haiku!

:o)

Oh, Angie, I love that! :-) That little rhyme is perfect. *G*

bekbek said...

From birth, too often
I've asked how hard can it be?
With surprise, I learn.

Mary Louisa said...

Once when the sun set
I watched until it was gone
I'm still there waiting

another good idea -- a stocking stuffer book of noir haiku. i think this is doable for christmas 2006.

anne frasier said...

er, 2007.

bekbek said...

Remember the noir haiku project of 2007? You know, that's when Anne Frasier launched her Editor in Chief career.

anne frasier said...
