Re: Marathon Haikus

Not really today

Took Away my busy work

Now I wait for more.

"You wont lag behind, because youll have the speed. Youll pass the whole gang and youll soon take the lead. Wherever you fly, youll be the best of the best. Wherever you go, you will top all the rest. " - - Dr. Seuss

Re: Marathon Haikus

Do you really think

Message board haiku friendly

Separates third line

We've come this far and it's still the same,
Runnin' out here in the rain.
Just one more mile, if only you could fly.
(Apologies to T. Rush and J. Tempchin, for the paraphrase)

Charles Dickens on haiku rules

"The law is an ***,"

Unintended consequence

From good intention

Let your message trump the medium!

Bogs become stony

Deer surround still flowing spring

Your breath steams in peace

Re: Marathon Haikus

silent pre-dawn world

spins beneath my running feet

still I am in awe

breath and pace reside

together in harmony

when I am running

thigh muscle contracts

knee rises foot comes forward

drop foot and repeat

Stollen from another runner!

I run, I escape

The crazy world fades away

My pace is my peace
