Say "Elementary
my dear Watson" & you
become Sherlock Holmes

Ah, Anon, this calls for several sequels. I'd love to see what you might do with some of the other classic characters. Lida Jo from Idaho

Interaction of
all our rough protruding souls --
mutual smoothing.

It is isn't it. Well said. c-belle

oh, Eritain, 'rough protruding souls' is exquisite! May I use this Haiku in my poetry class for illustritive purposes - for this amazing image?
Lida Jo from Idaho

You want a wager?
go ahead punk, toss the coin
with the shiny edge.
That's what I was thinkin'. Mama close?

got shined up
in a funny way

so you like skittles
kill your TV, start really
tasting a rainbow

good in vodka, or...on their own.
I'll pass on the rainbow.
enjoyed! c-belle

would you still be mine
even if I were not the
last man in the world?

ah! this is just too cute. c-belle

What if I said, "No!"
Would you share the cave with me?
What if I said, "No!"?

Beautiful question, E., carry on.
BR, your answer is provacatively sad. Desparate. Between the two of you, you've written the bones of the next Great American Novel. LJ from ID

The correct response
There are two ways to see things
Wrong way and My way

Have we only love
And will that not be enough?
To make you happy?

Yes! Because love will cause all the other needed things to be there.
I love the way you set this up with the two questions. It is an elegant piece. LJ from ID

Your calligraphy
Reflects the joy of your heart
Upon the pages

I want to see it.

"Past it?" Me, "past it?"
The heartache of losing you
Fades into nothing

Like it was a signpost or a red light where we paused that long, hard day so long ago. Like it was the measles to get 'over'. Like it was a bankruptcy to recover from.
I'm crying, BR. LJ from ID

She has moved on now
to be with another man
Why`d I let her go?
A decade without
correspondence of any kind
Now you break my heart?
How can we be friends
when you cannot see my pain
to help me thru it?.................Classic38

Pick up the pieces
And bind up the broken heart
Start to live again

This sounds like Joel of olden times. I love it. I did it. But I never got "past" the other. I bear the scar. I feel the goneness. I hope I grew. LJ from ID

Alas yon sailor
Seek romance in every port
Yet, never know love

BR, I love this. The subject has been on my heart lately but I didn't even try to write it down in prose. I could never have compressed it into a Haiku. You have done it beautifully. Thank you! LJ from ID

The best trick done is
the one where we wake up to
I want a divorce

Oh, hon, I'm so sorry you know enough to write this devastatingly accurate Haiku. You've carried it off tongue in cheek but the stitch marks still show. LJ form ID

i just noticed the poem number is my birth year, coincidence?

silently falling
life's events pass before me
your face redeems me

cold as winter lace
nature's virgin purity
nourishes the soul

mice elf, you set up provocative first lines and BR you are capping them brilliantly. Excellent collaboration, dear poets. Lida Jo

My only regret
Throughout the years nothing is
Ever good enough

Twin Flames, a new group
Find that one right person who
Fits you like a glove!

back in the saddle

cushiony mushrooms

changeable palate
