Haiku for life

[CCoburn]

A passage too cruel,
but this is haiku for "life",
so please drop the knife

[argentus]

So, please drop the knife
It's not always a weapon
Blood stays on the blade

[CCoburn]

Blood stays on the blade
Cutlery isn't my trade;
only metaphors

[CCoburn]

Only metaphors,
which may be cryptic at times,
and also the rhymes

[CCoburn]

And also the rhymes;
songs of coconuts and limes
Those were the good times

[Nerb]

Good Times For All
Electric Red Green Blue
I Love sparks Of All Colours.

[CCoburn]

Sparks of all colours
Frequencies of the rainbow;
the after-rain glow

(The grammar checker doesn't like the British spelling of "colors", but we don't always agree with the "grammar checker".)

(after-rain: petrichor)

[Maxmars]

Petrichor rises,
before or after the rain,
like a calling card.

[CCoburn]

Like a calling card;
transcending realities
from somewhere to here

[Nerb]

Here, under the Milky Way
Stars are bright
Forever into the night.
