Haiku

[Voboy]

Could be so much worse:
A "thermal curtain failure."
Near-space adventure.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Beyond the red moon
of a far distant planet,
comets slash the sky.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Could be so much worse:
A "thermal curtain failure."
Near-space adventure.

Are thermal curtains
Like hairdryer diffusers?
(Serious question.)

 

[Voboy]

Are thermal curtains
Like hairdryer diffusers?
(Serious question.)

A boy dreams of space.
Robot friend triggers a launch.
The movie? "SpaceCamp."

 

[Voboy]

Spatters on velvet.
Stars, the roof. Each with planets;
New life fucks up there.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

whirling and spinning,
atoms, planets, galaxies,
in cosmic motion

 

[AlinaX]

into the vortex
drawn down inexorably...
charybdis awaits

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Through the narrow straight,
A choice: whirlpool or monster?
It's your funeral.

 

[Voboy]

No hearse for the drowned;
Monument will not stay put.
Waves keep moving it.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

the drowned float freely--
a swirling dance in the waves,
end up in your fish!

 

[Voboy]

Rich cycle of life.
Tobiko, sailor, nori...
Chopsticks included.

 

[stickygirl]

Rice, fish, peas, lemon
Butter fry garlic, add stock
Did I mention wine?

 

[Voboy]

Either way, the same:
One man's corpse, another's chow.
We misspelled "soylent."

 

[AlinaX]

Through the narrow straight,
A choice: whirlpool or monster?
It's your funeral.

to narrow a waist
keep the corset laces strait
(but not the morals)

 

[Voboy]

In straits, if you're trapped:
Wadi, canyon, draw, or wash,
It's a narrow waste.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

Who brought the canoe?
Such a waste in the narrows
of Zion Canyon.

 

[Voboy]

Canoe shape. Nestled.
Waist narrow. Canyon wide, natch.
Image? Obvious.

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

orchids by O'keefe,
lotus blooms, pomegranates:
the sacred temple

 

[AlinaX]

eve's pomegranate
bursting with seeds of knowledge
was not to be plucked

 

[Voboy]

Adam ate those seeds,
So far as he was Abel.
Come now! Hurry, Cain!

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

juice so tartly sweet -
the red blood of ruptured seeds
running down my face

 

[AlinaX]

memories of blood...
the crimson against the pale
and the flow of life

 

[Enchantment_of_Nyx]

a garnet river -
life ebbing yet returning:
making fertile ground

 

[Voboy]

So striking, the sight:
Scarlet on snow. Music stops.
The Bride wounds O-Ren.

 

[Voboy]

Phlobotomist thinks.
Draining dry the stuff of life,
To give more life. Odd.
