What is it you are chasing?
Perhaps it is red.

Hold on a second,
Are we not missing something?

Every few miles, [the dwarves] stop the cart.  One of the dwarfs (sic) gets off, digs a hole down below the dirt layers, licks the bedrock, and then they know exactly where they are.  It's called GPS: Geological Piquancy Sampling.

Stuck? Say refrigerator!

In other news, I found a haiku generator with an "Erotic" setting.

Nude, wet boys shudder.
Madness murmurs and cream grinds.
Breasts love soft fever.

Shafts probe wet women.
The men tremble and hair pants.
Mad wonder flutters.

I will not post any more, for the sake of sanity.

Edit: Oh, hold on, read this;

Passion probes an arse.
A heavy arse undresses.
A fever murmurs.

Stoves hiss, wife-made coffee call

One of my old Haiku-epics.

For those too lazy to give me pageviews (lol), I'll post it here anyway.

Fates Intertwined

by ~Maximilian-Aurea

Here before me lies,
A fateful tale yet untold;
Living Memories

From whence had he come?
This lord - mane of midnight black;
With pain was he Rife

Here - his eyes are dark,
As bards sing of what once was;
Forgotten Stories

A hero unnamed,
His sculpture set in stone;
Born from ceaseless Strife


Those darkened waters,
Born of winding rivers;
Doubtful Reflections

Journeying throughout,
Black-clad knight with crimson blade;
Paladin Forlorn

Hopelessness took root,
His soul - lost within the dark;
Without Direction

But light of Love
Illuminated his eyes;
Paragon Reborn


And from the shadows
Arose a god ascended;
Humanity Shed

For in his shedding
Of singularity;
Lost were earthly Woes

Forsaken was all
Merciless gripping sorrow;
On which he once Fed

No longer whipping,
Solitude undone - within;
Its final death Throes


In blinding moments,
Passion blazed like solar winds;
To heights most Divine

Ecstatic wonder,
Glistening crystalline eyes;
Tears fallen to Ground

United through Fate,
Unparalleled rarity;
The stars all Aligned

And she, his keeper?
An angel in her descent;
Soul-Bound


Though divine she was,
Hers was not a simple path;
Plagued by Consequence

Of her actions not,
But the sins of the Father;
A Saint yet Dethroned

For in abandon,
Forsaken was his blood-line;
Futile Dominance

And from their ashes
His children were lost to time;
Their future Unknown


In his place arose,
Where once lived humility;
A spiteful Tyrant

Yet even enchained,
She progressed adamantly;
Goddess Arising

Her vivid smiles
Ivory illuminate;
Forever Vibrant

Edging still away,
She fled far beyond his grasp;
Endless Horizon


To a land thought lost,
Not to sands of time, but Man;
Ravaged by War

Unwonted beauty
Helpless - torn in futile grasps;
Like fabric from Flame

Lost was their culture,
Exotic worlds - All as One;
That which they Adore

Naught but suffering
Yet lived - within their high walls;
Little remained, but Shame


The Years bled away,
As empire fell to ruin;
Her people Enslaved

Great citizens lost
To the Tyrant's grasping claws;
Torn flesh and scarred Bone

Their lives but play-things
At the hands of lusting lords;
Actions most Depraved

But as light faded
From the eyes of fellow Man;
A few hearts yet Shone


And from the remnants,
Were carved loyal warriors;
Battling to Exist

There - sheltered within,
Tattered banners were lifted;
Enemy flags Burn

Within the outskirts,
Wave upon wave clashed with pride;
Forever Resist!

Our men unyielding,
The invaders repelled;
Never to Return


But from that battle,
She never did recover;
Her body most Pale

The strains of conquest,
Too much for she - bed ridden;
His soon birthing Wife

Yet from that goddess,
Was to come a prince most dear;
That little child so Frail

In final moments,
Created was new beauty;
Sacrificed for Life


In her memory,
Emblazoned stars light the skies;
Loss is Remembered

As with her brightest
eyes - set like vibrant gemstones;
Constellation High

In loving embrace,
Passion - freely and fully;
The moments Treasured

And with her last breath,
An oath he loudly uttered;
Fervent Battle-cry


Before me he stands,
Tall as the walls that bound him;
Within his Stronghold

Shadow-bound splendor,
That Lord - mane of midnight-black;
Clad in Ebony

In his memory,
Their embrace shall outshine death;
Love - Volumes Untold

And in poetry,
They shall live on in legend;
Soaring high and Free
