You are in mid-air. Freefall?
No. Graceful landing.

Maimed, strangled,
That ain't fried chicken,
Anymore...
Like a stranger on a grate, or a skylark, or a taper, flying ever upward and knowing of love's satiety. Our dreams beyond the Sun and into the expanse of Night doth sound a quiet hymn.

Thought I'd get in on this.

I owned a book a while back, '100 Greatest Books in haiku' and upon seeing this thread, decided to make a few to match my favorite books.

The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray:

Thaniel hunts wyches.
Possessed blond summons dark gods,
Bitches be crazy.


John Dies @ The End

The soy sauce may cause:
Dog balloons, meat men, Korrok.
Winners don't use drugs.


Mortal Engines:

Barren, arid wastes.
London chases mining town.
Urban predation.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me Vit.

The void sits quietly still,
Foreboding its time.

On the grassy knoll waiting,

This thread is pretty
The words collective beauty
Such others would pale

Heresy perhaps
But others see it different
"Who are you to judge"

This site brings me great feels
Finally, like minds
Once more, with rhythm!

Relieved to be back
Emergency maintenance?
A bit of panic.

The leaves dance along,
To a harmonica's tune,
Through the winding streets


Keep your head up high
Ain't gotta struggle no more,
Just reach for the sky.
