Group Haiku

I don't write traditional haiku as some of you know and a group of nontraditional haiku writers like myself have been writing a lot of nontraditional haiku. Each one of us comes up with something and the next person to post must go off of their haiku. This is the first batch I'll be posting. There's more to come.

Contortions of the

same material, she grew

more familiar

with the smell of ink

and how it must bleed sideways

along her forearms. -Jessica

The lines of ink ran

slow and thick in evil, root-

like tendrils that seemed

too black to be made

by a Bic. Lynelle watched, pale.

Terrified, she screamed. -M

Screaming, piercing air.

Ink trailing between fingers.

Downwards she spiraled. -Al

I heard poor Lynelle

fall to the floor prey to the

horrid, spreading ink.

I phoned the nearest

office supplies store, stared at

her, and tried to think. -M

Falling, falling, down

Down, down, tumbling and twirling

Splattering the ground -Kat

My mind unable,

unwillingly faltering-

never thinking right.

Lynelle, ink stained dress,

raven black spots on both palms.

Like a wretched curse. -Al

I rushed to her, but

can’t express my shock! She clutched

me, pulling me close.

“Baby, don’t be so

morose,” she smiled. “We’re live on

W.S.S.” -M

I'm much behind on my NaPoWriMo posts, but I have been writing them each day in my notebook. I will type them up and get back to post them ASAP.

I hope everyone had a brilliantly wonderful Easter!
