The second installment of the Open Mic Night will have a new rule!
We're still using Haiku of 5-7-5 syllables, but now, since this is a poetry gathering of the finest and most sensitive natures, there is an added requirement. The opening line of your haiku must contain one idea that was used in the previous haiku (best if from the last line).
I'll start with...
A black satin vest,
Sleeves - fishnet, his eyes - bloodshot
Goth out in daylight
My President's Day:
Gym-less run, endless reading
What is this 'Day Off?'
Remember, good poetry is not allowed! :)

A "Day Off" with kids:
Late breakfast, too much TV --
"Maaaaahmm! I'm booooooorred again!"
Olympics again
Twirling skirts on dropped women
Ice-dancing must hurt
Olympic fever
Hot and sweaty, eyes are blurred
Wait, that's real fever.
The N-B-C rocks
Wit, wisdom - I heart Bob Costas!
If "heart" means abhor.
Head first down the chute,
Skeleton makes me queasy.
Ice dancing does too.
