Project Meta-Muse Part 1

Pilliwink's playthings
These litigo limericks
Something...a light bulb

You are invited
Readers composers haiku
About what you find

Wander words yule tide
Wondering warden's tool tine
Orange tangerine

Purple nor silver
Have rhymes in English language
...but Meta-Haiku?

Better then than now
Entire universe threatened
Infinite Menace

We are each of us
Sesquippedaliophiles
If knot grate spelors

Nine angelic choirs
Attended by Greek muses
Terrestrial base

Meta-Haiku USA
Better than bilge wine

Terrifying Collection (rensaku)

Shambling monster
Terrifying collection
Borrowed body parts

Fur where none should sprout
Feathers in other places
Far too many eyes

What big fangs you have
Dressed in grandma's flannel gown
scent of blood and poop

Sit with us for tea
How has your day been so far
Don't notice corpses

Most did not suffer
much unlike this one still lives
Let me borrow blade
Army of monsters
Rampaging across H P
Without direction

Secret Group (resaku)

Don't tell anyone
Secret group handles these things
When least expected

Hired assassin smiles
You don't want grisly details
Murder is messy

Act like all is well
Find something to write about
Ignore stacked corpses
Nothing to see here
No such thing as secret group
Don't get in our way

Hashtag Assassin and the Army of Monsters (rensaku)

Hashtag assassin
Leading army of monsters
Through readers kitchen

On way to slaughter
Almost human creatures drool
Over Capn Crunch

Mindless things break wind
Concerto of hunger growls
In your breakfast nook

Please do not get up
Metallic fangs nibble toast
With butter and jam

Invaded reader
Stunned by army of monsters
Has nothing to say

We're just passing through
Eating everything in your 
Refrigerator
The hashtag hassle
has begun with a gurgle
Weird poets giggle

Teacher

I met this rabbi
Who shows war urge misguided
Taught me a few things

Storm (rensaku)

Clouds over lake flash
Groan grows to bellowing boom
Drops wet projectiles

Electricity 
Refuses half the county
Poet grabs pencil

Magic energy
Withheld from appliances
Light bulb ignores switch

Loss of power sucks
People show human nature
For better or worse

Insert this side up 
Caution severe tire damage
Come to Jamaica

Blinding thunder clap
Deletes modern convenience
Empty streets run off

Hadn't been for love
I would be in jail again
Not in Burmingham

It's time to learn things
Not just quiet listening
Smack the butt of spring

Newlyweds cuddle
Give up electricity
You are all I need

Wind lashed summer rain
Now electric goes offline
What next? Gravity?

Both Begin and End

Both begin and end
Infectious laughter attached
Viral reading trend

Haiku quarantined
Verse infected with laughter
Sides reported split

Other symptoms range
From feelings of "normalcy"
To life extension

Do not read haiku
Unless you like belly laughs
In small packages

If you find haiku
Do not panic, they smell fear
Call someone who cares

I don't know whether 
We can get out of this burb
Both begin and end
Infectious haiku 
Warning! Do not read this verse
Or the ones above
