Swan on Willow Lake (Haiku) by Caducus
Sailing upon gold Through reeds which bow before you Jealous blackbirds caw

Down the ladder: Transmissional Dance

Stark and haunting words. The image of sailing "upon gold" is truly, sublimely inspired... this will perhaps remain with me for the rest of my life. Wonderful.

Crow In a Stagnant Pond by Frivilous Mediocrity

Oh crow in the mire!
Why won't you float nigger
Oh Black bird in quick sand
If you weren't so black
I'd lend a hand.

I think this is how a haiku should be written. The first image and then a different image (the blackbirds) linked to the first.

Would leave out jealous though. Haikus are about imagery more than most other forms. Image without need for explanation.
