Del Amitri Song Titles Haikus  5.0

(i) let's kiss this thing goodbye

Infidelity
she kisses my thing goodbye
with open razor

(ii) Spit in the rain

they spit out their hate
return hatred rains down on them
they reap what they sowed


(iii) Nothing Ever Happens

tried prostitutes
but nothing ever happens
My impotent cock

(iv) Always The Last To Know

it's when I am dead
I will be the last to know
because I'll be dead

(v) Tell Her

it is always best
to tell her well before she
meets your new girlfriend

Song titles come from the album “Stranger In The Alps” by Phoebe Bridgers. Favourite of mine just now.

Song Title Haiku 5.0

1- You Look Like Rain

Escape on my mind
List'ning to the weather girl
Cuz it looks like rain

2- A Good Woman is Hard to Find

My mother told me
To save myself for true love
Little did she know

3- You Speak my Language

Wand'ring Tokyo streets
Glad to see a blue-eyed blond
She spoke only Dutch

4- Cure for Pain

Lying on my back
Empty Cuervo on the floor
Don't feel no better

5- Take me with you

Are you leaving now?
I'd like to go together.
Corner taco truck!

5 Song Haikus

1. Speak To Me

Unnerving silence
focused disdain or neglect
restraining your mouth

2. Time

Rapidly passing
wrinkles betray the delights
illusions of pace

3.  The Great Gig In The Sky

Insurmountable
famished pleas for your guidance
while plugging their ears

4.  Any Colour You Like

The vibrant palette
to paint your own existence
a choice and a stroke

5.  Brain Damage

Deadly serums found
the addictive concussion
to medicate shame

1. postlapsaria
I the horizon
Expand to infinities
Ultimately dead

2.The Poet You Never Were
Forget the beauty
Write the unwritten letters
Burn your poetry

3.Roquentin
We've fallen on days
It's all flash after all this
As it's always been

4.Closed Hands
I tried so hard but
Our open arms hold nothing
I could not catch you

5.One dying wish
Speaking silently
Screaming our I love you Nots
We lost each other

- Saetia

Beatles Sing Their Night Song - Title Haiku 5.0

   
i – i want to hold your hand    
   
hard grip plucks cattail   
dams break, rivers flood too fast    
swift the crane neck bobs    
   
   
ii – revolution    
   
pink lotus slow turn    
words swirl tongue like kanji nib    
soft lapping pond’s shore    
   
   
iii – if I fell    
   
bucking seat rises    
full tea cup spills in crashing    
moon smile's deep embrace    
   
   
iv – come together    
   
rising storms attack  
mountains rumble valleys gush    
peace at thunder’s still    
   
   
v – savoy truffle    
   
darkest plum surround    
loving confections fresh borne    
cat bends licking cream

IRON MAIDEN BOUND  (haiku)

Charlotte the harlot
The trooper of porn and scorn
still life never born

wrathchild fleeing rape
quest for fire, simple escape
run to the hills now

Killers seek the end
Ides of March march with duct tape
twilight zone a friend

Somewhere in time lost
piece of mind torn to pieces
Powerslave rising

running free spellbound
wasted years finally found
IRON MAIDEN BOUND
