i took my dog out
a little while ago
and thought, who is chained.
---
think the random thought.
dream of what it could be like.
compromise and lose.
---
a chain has two ends.
which end controls the middle.
one end must follow.
---
leaders are not born.
leaders learn things the hard way.
through experience.
---
a man with no friends.
receives no hurt from others
the pain is his own.
---
give a dog a bath.
you will have to take one too.
revenge of the dog.
---
i am out of sorts.
my shorts are way way to tight.
my dog cannot dance.
---
haiku is perfect.
say nothing and everything.
just writing three lines.
---
numbers,angles,lines.
precision where its needed.
close counts in horseshoes.
---
is he my best friend?
or god's witness to my sins.
i must feed my dog.
----
a land one color.
everything a shade of grey.
the hue of lost love.
---
fences wont stop streams.
stones slowly erode to sand.
all bow to water.
---
a word is a knife.
able to cause hurt or heal.
your word your honor.
----
unopen it lays.
a silent story unnamed.
till light hit the page.
----

Thank you for entring my ku contest. This is a very interesting haiku chain. -
zen is thoughts in motion forever changing into whatever you think it to be or what you want it to be but always in the mind of the reader who will take from you and leave the book unread.
