Literature
Lampades
Forgotten.
Left in the dreg heap of time and history.
Spirits who wander as pale shades of light, in abysmal darkness.
Come, oh daughters of Hekate!
Sing, oh fruits of Nyx!
Rise, oh women of raw identity.
Lay hands upon the Forlorn and outcast.
Soothe the spirits of man burdened.
For as living men tell lies, the Dead tell no tales.
Literature
Nocte
Hiding from the beast,
From tree to tree,
Running in the dark,
I tell myself such things,
Slow- so it won't find you,
Breath.
These fires have scorched far and wide,
Leaving the scent of my former cinders to linger in my head,
Like some bad bender,
Warped memories encircling grey,
The ground is made of shattered glass,
Broken dreams.
No lilies remain,
To any kingdom I run,
In mirrors of liquid glass,
Surrealist battles are won,
And like fear,
The spider crawled from my mouth.
They are sedating everything,
Brush pixilated,
Focus changing,
Leaving me to run in the dark,
Caught in the eye of the storm,
Hiding in the calm.
Literature
In the Syllable
...then there is a way in diswaiting.
Dust some yellow sand covers,
here uncover bare bedding.
...suffusing red planes, blushed dunes,
under incidentally quilted blanket
wet as arid curves, as sounds.
...in a persistent pavement,
in a solemn unsuited promise,
some written words erase
some letters drip and soak
unto a perfuse miracle,
a dislocated split,
a letting go of...

This is for the Haiku Club's May 2010 Haikuthon!
I've never done anything like this before, so I thought to myself, now is a great time to start! Comments and critique always welcome!
1: I read through some of the info on the Haiku Club's Eastern Poetry Forms journal about Haiku... I will never read haiku the same way again. Anyway, I was trying for a pivot-line on this one... and that's what I came up with.
2: Not trying anything fancy with this one, I've just had that image hanging out in my mind lately, so I thought this would be a good way to express it.
3: Tried doing some repetition with this one... not sure how I feel about it.
4: I originally wrote the first and second lines switched... but I think it works better this way.
5: It was windy today, so this came to mind. I wanted to use multiple senses, so smell in the second line and hearing in the third.
6: I saw a pair of mallard ducks walking together in the grass. I'm pretty sure they live in this little stream area down the street from where I live because I see them there all the time. They're pretty adorable, so yes... I wrote a haiku about them.
7: Just writing about the moon.
8: Inspired by a dying fire I was standing next to... I've been thinking about it because the wind was blowing the smoke from the fire into my hair and now, hours later, I can still smell it around my face. I don't mind it, though.
9: I like writing about sprinklers for some reason. The second line was originally "little sidewalk rivers" but I decided it sounded better without it.
10: I live in the mountains and it rained today. It's always so beautiful the way the clouds roll across the peaks. And all the mountain greenery looks even brighter under a grey sky.
11: Still raining here. Trying again for a floating line.
12: Sunset.
13: Haha, it's STILL raining here! I was going to write a haiku about it, but I was getting tired of writing haiku about rain. So I decided to draw some inspiration from my desktop wallpaper. I dunno how I feel about it, but at least it's not about rain again.
14: I went to Las Vegas for my sister's wedding. I wrote this haiku while I was looking out the window of the hotel at the view of the city at night.
15: Las Vegas sunset.
16: I spent most of this day in the backseat of the car on the way home. That's pretty much all I saw, along with lots of cows and hay. Should joshua be capitalized?
17: I was looking at my strawberry plants today and they both have these little white flowers, but no fruit yet.
18: Just thinking about a reflecting water surface.
19: Okay. The mountains behind my house are AMAZING in the sunset. And one day my mom and I were talking about how they looked like someone painted them with watercolours. (My mom is a watercolour artist.) I originally had it with the first line as "mountain range" and the second line was "lavender peaks and pink hills", but that second line seemed so long and I thought a reader would be able to understand that I was talking about mountains with the word "peaks".
20: Just as it says, a little bird was singing all by itself outside my window.
21: I dunno... I just like wheat fields.
22: It was my mom's birthday today. And I wrote a haiku about hills.
23: And today is my birthday! Haha. Anyway, I was thinking about snakes, so... yes. No real reason behind it.
24: I was looking at a picture of a sunset over water and was intrigued by the thought of the horizon being like a thread.
25: The moon had a gold hue to it, but there were also street lamps when this haiku came to mind. I saw it and instantly these words formed.
26: I was sitting in a garden with bright orange flowers and it was a sunny day.
27: I was thinking about how farms look from an airplane.
28: In my house, we have these huge windows because we have an amazing view of these awesome mountains. When it gets rainy, they get misty at the top and they always make me think of ink drawings.
29: I was in Las Vegas again... I don't normally go there so often, it just happened to work out that I went twice this month! But one of my friends lives there so I was visiting her. Anyway, we went to Lake Mead and there were these kayaks there, so I wrote this haiku. I'm not sure if it makes sense... the second line was originally "like birds on the water", but that sounded clunky.
30: Okay, it was really hot, so I was thinking about winter. I just wanted to try writing a more wintry type of haiku. Unusual because I normally write things inspired by my current surroundings.
31: Just a simple one about a summer night.
