Haiku Circus
Welcome to Haiku Circus, home of the best in Haiku response chains!
Haiku Circus 
whip out something new
no zombies, werewolves, vampires
or other undead
or other undead
but are there other undead?
I thought that was all.
Good one, oh Hiaku circus master. š
rats! no more undead? š„
“whip out something new” /
said the master to his class – /
we bow, oh wise one! //
interesting times
no whip needed to drive me
life pulls me forward
life pulls me forward
as the horses of Sun god
whip lashes of heat
whip lashes of heat /
turn my unprotected neck /
into pink leather //
into pink leather
black’s too motorcycle gang
like my new bullwhip?
[blushing]
not into bullwhips – /
time to flee on my chopper – /
heigh ho, Harley – vroom! //
a strange sight to see
pink leather on a Harley
my little pony
[facepalm]
[one-handed forehead applause]
glued a tail and mane /
to my Harley Davidson – /
“arrrr! at dawn … we ride!”
Pirates on Harleys
The new hit movie series
starrrrring Johnny Depp
[starrrrrring … so bad ….. ]
pillaging by bike – /
booty in me saddlebags /
barely pays for gas //
Harley riders like
some nice booty but the cost
is poorer mileage
[oy.]
sometimes the booty /
is worth pitiful mileage – /
sometimes not so much //
shaking her booty
on the back of his Harley
softail off the road
[oy. oy vey.]
the softail fishtails – /
result of too much booty, /
too little restraint //
Harley off the road
along with this strange story
tall mermaid fish tales
Biker shakes his head
Forlornly he remembers
Fish that got away
fish that got away
those fins are sure developed
to drive motorbike
now that I have seen /
a fish on a motorbike /
I have seen it all /
whip lashes of heat
set life on fire so run for
air conditioning
air conditioning
being frozen in the heat
I melt in the end
melted to puddles
blacktop oozes while brains freeze
zombie dairyqueen
sorry.(not really) i couldn’t resist.;-)
š
zombie dairyqueen
a latest ice cream parlor
opened in graveyard
two scoops of death mint
sprinkled with maggots dribbled
with un-named green uck
Wow. Yours is good. Thanks for stopping by to play.:-)
zombie dairy queen?
over my cold dead body
much easier now
life pulls me forward /
whether I’m willing or not – /
do I drag my heels? //
don’t drag my heels much
there’s no use at all dragging
just wears out my shoes
gramma always said /
“your feet will heal; your shoes won’t” – /
lotsa barefoot kids //
too many bare feet
shoe industry collapses
triggers bank failures
shoe industry chiefs /
move to first aid industry – /
leather band-aids, y’all! //
leather band-aids, y’all!
hieroglyphs of chimera
ingrained in my skin
ingrained in my skin /
I’ve become the chimera /
or is he now me? //
he is now me
satiating thirst of the beast
I let free my soul
I let free my soul /
Shimmering in a cloud of light /
Floating overhead //
leather band-aids good
expanded their product line
to leather trusses
perhaps Barbie pink /
was a bad marketing choice /
for leather trusses /
for leather trusses
a snake slithered along
into arms of knife
into arms of knife
piercing hot in my ribcage
I cry for mercy
Yowzers!
Into arms of knife
The snake cuts as much as binds /
Constricting freedom
into arms of knife
sharp prosthetics good for prep
chef slices carrots
“Pink’s a sweet color
for a leather truss,” he said.
delicate giggle
pink’s a sweet color /
and rhinestones make it complete /
what an ensemble! //
pink feather boa
slips off to reveal the real
snake worn underneath
[face palm]
snake worn underneath /
half blind from all the rhinestones – /
only has one eye //
((FACE PALM rattles my eyes))
one eyed snake dancer
shimmies his thing snug in cup
more Barbie pink
[literally LOLing]
shimmy that thing, sir – /
pink’s great with a purple hat – /
I am stunned speechless! //
speechless with laughter
girls night out at the strip club
midget dancer dude
I found out – via a friend’s comments on Facebook – that there is actual amputee midget porn. no kidding. guess it takes all types.
midget dancer dudes /
almost always work in pairs – /
buy one, get one free /
Yak and gak! This is more than I needed to know.
two for price of half
they can take you to the moon
or two tiny moons
look! two tiny moons /
sticking out of the window — /
midget dancers quit //
twin moons set behind
size triple zero blue jeans
love ’em or lose ’em
Wave bye bye to these guys.
bye bye!
job application – /
“previous experience”? /
whips out thesaurus /
but nothing else pink
dancer prancer cupid rein
holder not reindeer
This is my descent into gibberish. Exotic dancer midgets who were dressed in pink leather a few verses back. Good luck with this one.
?!?!?
Hmmmm…..
digs in his pockets: /
rhinestone truss and bubblegum – /
thank goodness for pink //
Yes. I know. I thought I made sense. These are reindeer names that resemble dancer moves… Then I read it to my husband. Nope.
“I love pink!” he gasped.
Last words before he passed out.
rhinestone truss too tight
Ahhhh! I see. I must have led a sheltered life … hmmm …. and, what kind of dancing, exactly? o.O
he who passes out /
quickly becomes zombie food – /
here we go again! //
I had a less-sheltered youth. Perhaps exotic dancers are more subdued these days…
zombie food made by
kibble manufacturers
zombie crunchy treats
Purina’s secret:
Zombies love kibbles and bits –
Different wrapper
instead of kittens
and cute pups eating dinner
garish rotten flesh
garish rotten flesh: /
oh boy oh boy oh boy! woof! /
tastes better than butt! //
mixed up sacks of food
dog and kitty chow switched with
deep-fried zombie crunch
is it zombie crunch /
or is it ancient “moose tracks”? /
sometimes I’m confused. //
confusing product lines
keep customers guessing what
they have for dinner
confused employees /
manning the product help line /
shrug, say “wrong number” //
customer support
phone center in Timbuktu
speak only Songhay
losing my patience /
could have walked to Timbuktu /
on hold forever /
Exactly. š
Had an experience with this today, dealing with a gov’t agency. Rrrrr!
Stay away from gov’t agencies. š
Ain’t that the truth. š”
Ugh!
