[Hyakujo's Fox]

Is this a better format? To leave a blank line before adding the last line of the haiku - which then forms the start of the next?

long before now
in times of great confusion

we looked to the stars
driving westward on 90

the sun in our eyes
as daylight bleeds from the night

I'm feeling no fear
although I miss my old horse

smoke and ashes rise
my father's face in yellow

campfire dreaming
and the taste of marshmellows

distant memories
condense to their pure essence

leaving only life
behind, they were to marry

this Saturday night.
shimmers, blue, with promises

spoken by the lake
and heard by noone but me

whispers gone by now
but their effect still painful

iridescent knots
bind my past to my future

inescapable
you are my one addiction

smoke and ashes rise
my father's face in yellow
campfire dreaming
and the taste of marshmellows
distant memories
condense to their pure essence
leaving only life
behind, they were to marry
this Saturday night.
shimmers, blue, with promises
spoken by the lake
and heard by noone but me
whispers gone by now
but their effect still painful
iridescent knots
bind my past to my future
inescapable
you are my one addiction
Your love is my fix
Your heart is my solution
Troubles fade away
The boss told to go shove it
Big lottery win
Would take me away from this
Do I want to leave?
I could get up and go now,
but I might end up
farther than I expected
down the rainy road
my feet meet many puddles
my socks get squishy
and my steps produce bubbles
childhood remembers
a time before life began
ponytails and horses
learning how to count to five
and when to stay mute

[lapietra]

long before now
in times of great confusion
we looked to the stars
driving westward on 90
the sun in our eyes
as daylight bleeds from the night
I'm feeling no fear
although I miss my old horse
smoke and ashes rise
my father's face in yellow
campfire dreaming
and the taste of marshmellows
distant memories
condense to their pure essence
leaving only life
behind, they were to marry
this Saturday night.
shimmers, blue, with promises

So now I learn to forget

Just a little reminder people... each 5-7-5 should be working as a stand-alone haiku, each 5 syllable line doubling as the conclusion for the previous two lines and the opening line for the next haiku. :)
