laugh out loud and sing
take the only glass that's left
down your drink ín one

down your drink in one
make the darkness disappear
at least for a while

at least for awhile
a sliver of moon, waxing
light gives way to dark

light gives way to dark
in a AA meeting
i forgot where I parked

I forgot where I,
parked to marvel at the moon,
intended to be

intended to be
free for all eternity
not likely for now

not likely for now
im still sipping a brown cow
eternity is far from these knees

Hi gullivor.... I sincerely hope you don't think I am being mean by saying this but the form of a Haiku ... is 5-7-5
The 3 lines must contain syllables in that order.

Just letting you know in case you did not know that.
Have a good evening

I'm sorry!
Its been awhile.
Please forgive me for messing up your Haiku.
5-7-5...Got it! (I knew I was missing somthing).
I'll just watch for a while!

Your words were lovely but it is more fun and a bit of a challenge trying to get the rhythm right ..........
I cannot write a poem to save my life but I enjoy this because it is simple and fun

I will try get it going from the previous five syllable line...............

not likely for now
to get the winning numbers
in the lottery

in the lottery
no eternity is found
lottery of life

down you drink in one
its a good idea not
enjoy each enjoy

(I'm skipping the last post to keep the original sequence going)

lottery of life:
salmon leaps to spawn upstream;
fisher baits with fly
