The Happy Haiku Game

trapped in a prison
blinded from the horizon
when will freedom come?

freedom from disgrace
will it ever come to him?
he, the king of pop

Who the hell knows that?
Oops, better watch my language.
… Like I ever did!

Language raises us
Above the beasts. Behavior
Can drop us lower.

human behavoir
ranges from stupidly posh
to downright beastlike

Stupidly, I post.
I should be doing almost
Anything else (sigh).

They almost broke up,
But the soulmates remembered
The words to their song

Soulmates find their joy
In the soul that meshes so
Perfectly with theirs.

perfectly forméd
beutifully prortioned
but still a monster

What is the movie
Playing at Bedrock’s drive-in?
It’s called The Monster.

Monster truck rally!
Bigfoot crushes old sedans.
Roar, screech; mullets cheer.

when BigFoot drove in
he had a fairly big car
it had big pedals

Pedal’s to metal;
Souped-up hotrod screeches down
The two-lane blacktop.

the red hot blacktop
attracts many kangaroos
who’s for roadkill pie?

Dana Eikenberg’s
UMKC Kangaroos
Play Kansas tonight

Hmmmmmmm… no linking word bolded… guess I’ll just have to pick one at random…

Kansas is a state
In the continent’s middle
Coastal folks don’t care.

coastal to coastal
the american postal
service do their job

Please don’t go postal
When I tell you that there’s no
Coffee for breakfast.

Office coffee break
Respite during the workday
Mindless chatter time

Chattering corpses,
let the dead remind you now
soon you will join them.
