in fear of others or dreams
what shall I deny God

We are confronted by greed

Signs that winters here
Yellow grey light speaks of cold
The wind stops for snow.
by William
yup, will's good one about the stars...
cycles of death and
rebirth, the stomach of a
worm, the leaves of trees
the starlight close by
converts rot into new leaves
fruit, eaten, again...
the seed is contained
in each passing DNA
and to time's ending
by bs
older yet again
seems it happens more often
as your years run out

Grey wind scolds my back
The Suns sudden departure
How I hate Winter

A stars light delayed
To reach us. A Billion years!
But is it still there?

Just wanted to say

everyone is dying

my flippant comment
is as much against myself
as anyone else
let me explain that :
we are all killing haiku
isn't that the point ?
i would implore you
don't take me seriously
i certainly don't

the box is a coffin
we all go to it in the end
me you, everyone
all is vanity
death is the universal
by bs
it is a fight to
be understood, and to die
the vanity, for they
did not want to understand
it was of no use
by bs
I've often wondered
if my faith can overcome my
genuine hatred
of the people who
post haikus on this website
that is the real life fight
going on in my spirit
as rediculous or entertaining
as it might seem to you
to me it is a battle
between mature response
walking away
or going ahead and treating
say ash's comment with a deadly
seriousness which
probably is way out of proportion to those who
would continue to
respond likewise to my reactions
by bs
I also notice the
low blow and I also wonder
how low I can go...
by bs
it's vanity really
when one style says it is better
than someone elses
if it is thrown to
another less friendly crowd
lions to christians
you have been there
you should know better
by bs
well, as they say, in
the end of course, ashes to
ashes, dust to dust...
by bs
in regard to art
this isn't competition
it's a massacre
by ash
you notice the guys
seem to compete even when
writing haiku works?
