The action, since spliced
A head lost and wandering
The body, returned.

I've always wanted to try riddles within haiku. It's a poetry in itself, riddling, but when measured so precisely, so delicately? Simply sublime.

But it seems I have my chance after all.

Where have you been.

text --> voice enigmaestro August 8 2011, 02:24:59 UTC

Where have I been. Where have I been? Which of the nine circles would I classify where I have been?

[He clicks to voice; his tone is hoarse and dry.]

Did no one think to ask this sooner?

voice afeatherpillow August 8 2011, 02:30:37 UTC

I asked. I've been calling you on the phone, I even-- I even reported you missing when you weren't at our meeting. I thought you were sent home.

voice enigmaestro August 8 2011, 02:32:43 UTC

[Pause.]

I was not sent home. Something rather -- inconsistent occurred.

Eddie? What the hell is going on?

voice; enigmaestro August 8 2011, 02:36:31 UTC

[HOW EMBARRASSING. For Eddie.]

Don't -- It's nothing improbable. I was missing for a few days, it seems, I really thought it was longer but --

...You weren't decapitated, were you?

[ That's what she got from the riddle, okay? ]

voice; enigmaestro August 8 2011, 02:39:53 UTC

What?

[Baww Selina.]

As far as I'm aware, I was not, no.

A riddle in a haiku.

I think you have too much time on your hands.

enigmaestro August 8 2011, 02:47:37 UTC

I'm inclined to agree.

specifythepoint August 8 2011, 02:48:22 UTC

You should probably consider a hobby.

enigmaestro August 8 2011, 02:49:55 UTC

Well, by all means, what do you so kindly suggest?

Hello.

... Disorientation?

enigmaestro August 8 2011, 02:48:18 UTC

A little darker.

I think everyone's had a rather bad weekend, haven't they? I'm in such good company.

gallitrap August 8 2011, 02:51:36 UTC

More severe?

But... yeah. I suppose that's true.

enigmaestro August 8 2011, 02:53:01 UTC

I would say so, yes.

Is anyone going to tell me what happened? I'm not -- around a television. Or the radio. Or the internet.

voice, he cannot do text sry deadthenred August 8 2011, 02:50:23 UTC

Do you do limericks?

voice, alas bucky, alas enigmaestro August 8 2011, 02:51:32 UTC

I try to avoid the obvious Leprechaun connection. It's hardly flattering.

he would lie and say he can't write deadthenred August 8 2011, 02:59:34 UTC

Well, the other sorts of poetry are long.

that would just tingle all over enigmaestro August 8 2011, 03:07:20 UTC

I do try to avoid riddling sonnets. I find them tedious.
