BEHOLD THE EPIC FIVE DOCTOR HAIKU CYCLE!

by Steven Sautter

Walking in roses
A pleasant afternoon out
The shadow passes

Trusted warrior
Past is catching up with us
Now we are taken

Full spedometre
Still cannot outrace the dark
Great balls of fire

Between life and death
I exist in quantum flux
Left without a punt

I stand with myself
Together we will play the
Game of Rassilon


Shatter the chains that bind
Confront your past, embrace it
Now the Wolf is free

Stormy Avalon
Break through to the other side
Remember Badon

Where are you going
Strange little girl at the gate?
Daleks don't hop scotch

Do whap be do wah
The green baby alien
Will have hybrid dad

Hark! the unicorn!
Am I dreaming? Is this real?
Suspicious stampede

To lose one's face once
Is perhaps unfortunate
Twice is carelessness

Timeless Mandarin
Trap you, catch you. Play with me?
Let the games begin.

Yellow brimmed fire
Expands to engulf the world
Earth resigned to flames

High above the earth
Sits silent humanity
Indomitable

From Neutrogena
T-Mat! Transport your dandruff
To the moon and back

Frozen carapace
Are you lonely in the ice?
The warrior waits

Clacking of the claws
Skittering through the darkness
Macra come for you

On glacial Telos
Cybermen await the call
To wake, rise and rule

We will survive
Enhancements cybernetic
But is this living?

I Lost You Along the Way

by Alies Bruinsma

Could you, lonely Time Lord?
O, tell me, pretty please!
How it somehow came to be,
That our friendship had started to cease?

O, how I remember those silly walks.
Under the moons, with grasses red.
Where we shared those hopeful thoughts.
About the beautiful times ahead.

How did that come to vanish,
When we started growing old?
I took it for granted but now I wish
Your thoughts of me had not turned so cold.

Your love goes to this rotten earth,
Where you have all forgotten me,
Forgetting what we shared from birth.
Time Lord, are you unable to see?

To see what you have done;
You were gone and I was there.
Singing the lonely man's song;
For you to answer my prayer.

Time Lord, you were my friend!
You were the only I ever had.
And this lonely time I've spent,
Turned on me to drive me mad.

Time Lord, it’s not that I hate you.
Really, it's the other way around.
Don't you have the smallest clue.
About the offspring of the sounds?

Time Lord, I'm nearing my own my end.
I really don't know what to do.
I need you to love me as a friend.
Because that's how I love you.

Torchwood Tongue Twister

By Simon Bromley,


There once was a Welsh Pterodactyl
And that really extraordinary fact'll
send dear little Simes
to his Big Book of Rhymes
to try to end it intact-yl

Poems from Alpha Centauri

By Jamie Beckwith

There once was a hexapod creature
Who had a distingushing feature
It looked awfully rude
This he/she non dude
Running foul of Hepesh, a manic Pel preacher

HAI-ku! (6)

The New Adventure
snatched furtively from the shelf.
Too broad and too deep.

HAI-ku! (5)

by Bob Davies
www.bob-davies.co.uk


Mona Lisa smiles
with her sisters; Scaroth's selves
ripple time's waters.


Ancient reptiles slept.
Squatters sprouted overnight,
beds became mass graves.

HAI-ku! (4)

by Steven Sautter

No escape, white walls
These are your consequences
Champion of Time


The all-seeing eye
Gazes unblinking into
Your abysmal heart


The clown cannot stand
Smiles in the forever dark
Thus starts Ragnarok


Oh no! Did I blink?
The angel seems no closer
I thought I was bug-


Lost in the fire
My old trusty companion
Sonically bereft


Green spaghetti-ied head
Save the Jagaroth in style
Add matching cravat


It's an elephant!
In Television Centre!
Monoids too. Who cares.

HAI-ku! (3)

by Steven Sautter

The girl, brave and bold
Against the basement lurker
Grip of ice hot death


Fight against the change
Resisting evolution
I live in the Light



Swirling sands whip round
Implacable art deco,
Throwing hands at you



A clan of Clantons
Stand firm in the tumbleweeds
Does your tooth ache, Doc?



Pink and orange sky
The world breaks up around you
Animal embrace

HAI-ku (2)

by Leslie McMurtry

all bright eyes and hands,
he leads them to a wasteland.
ancient and gnarled trees



a cloud of white disdain,
temperamental Time Lord,
a guardian's safari.



crimson searchlights bi-
sect future suspended
barrage ballooner

HAI-ku! (1)

By Jamie Beckwith

Incongorous Box
just there in the cluttered yard
A legend is born



Za will bring fire
Orb has promised it to him
Soon Hur will be queen




CANNOT COMPREHEND
THIS STRANGE CREATURE BEFORE ME
EXTERMINATE IT!
