the game of  War
we slap the cards down hard
following thunder

Adelaide


thunder muffles
old hanging chimes
soft snoring

Matthew


snoring dragon...
a down feather floats up
and down with the smoke

Vida


smoke rings
wobble then dissipate
lost signals

daysleeper


signals
the tiny door in my head
opens to sky blue

Hello folks,

Please keep in mind that the "last" word of the prior poem is the first word of the next.  That's how the little train works.  So, Adelaide's poem should begin with "blue" instead of "open".  I hope this helps keep us on track.

Thanks for playing!

all the best,

Don

Sorry Don.  I didn't know that it had to be the last word.  I thought it was any word in the last line.  I guess my other contributions were not correct, either.

I'll try another one:

blue morning
fragrant notes pulling me
inside the cafe

What happened to the posts that came after this one?  There was mine and one or two others.

From what I've read on another post, it seems that some data has been deleted. so I'll post my link to the train again.

Looks like the haiku train is stalled.  Anyone out there ready to start it up again?

I like this, but got me thinking what if...

domination over
the priest removes
his dog's collar

Just a thought. :-)
