I think I know this one but I'll stop being a haiku hog if somebody else wants it. Foucault's Pendulum

Demimonde · #**152** 04-25-2012, 09:19 PM

Oh, go on, you big show off! :giggle:

Seriously, I am glad the thread is picking up the pace a bit. I was worried everyone had become bored with it. More puzzles is more better.

Akshully I figured you'd want to take credit for that one. Check my invisitext.

I'm so bored with life
I might as well go to hell
I'll just cast this spell.

I'm so mad I was late for this. I am pimping Foucault's Pendulum in a book talk tomorrow and it's sitting on the desk next to me.

Sock Puppet · #**155** 04-25-2012, 10:11 PM

for pressuring me.

Janet

Also :shakesockpuppet:

for the sneaky!

Sock Puppet · #**158** 04-25-2012, 10:27 PM

Mick has it. I was specifically thinking of Marlowe's, but Goethe works too.

mickthinks · #**159** 04-25-2012, 10:39 PM

So you wanted me to type The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus instead ? Sorry, mate—couldn't be arsed.

The old order's gone.
And my husband. I'll think it
Over tomorrow.

Demimonde · #**160** 04-25-2012, 10:40 PM

Gone With The Wind?

Sock Puppet · #**161** 04-25-2012, 10:41 PM

Just stating my thought process, mate.

Sorry it took so long. I have spent the day in bed with a bottle of NyQuil.

Learn to live in skin.
I rather have a good mind
than a cute behind.

Demimonde · #**164** 04-27-2012, 07:43 PM

So I was told I need to offer a hint. The second two lines are almost a direct quote from the book.

The forgotten child.
Maya is not illusion
in her own child's eyes.

Contrapposto · #**165** 04-28-2012, 02:28 AM

The Scarlet Letter?

Demimonde · #**166** 04-28-2012, 03:14 AM

Demimonde · #**167** 04-28-2012, 03:15 AM

Last clue and I am going to call it.

In my last haiku, I included the author's name.

lisarea · #**168** 04-28-2012, 03:28 AM

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings?

Demimonde · #**169** 04-28-2012, 03:40 AM

That is it!

I am not going to try to write anymore until I am healthy again. :hayfever:

Qingdai · #**170** 04-28-2012, 03:49 AM

So is Lisarea next? Or can anyone join in?

lisarea · #**171** 04-28-2012, 06:05 AM

I hereby cede to anyone who comes up with one first because I'm not sure I can even think of one tonight.

So first guy who thinks of a haiku gets the next turn!

erimir · #**172** 04-28-2012, 07:03 AM

We talk on the phone
I sent you my book of woes
But am I real?

I'm counting real as two syllables there. Not sure how many of you would have read this one.
