Do you do Haiku?

[68306]

*wonders how to do a Haiku*

Hmm...

Secluded, the air's breath
beats upon a window
The cold light of dawn

 

[Principessa]

Such sweet, passion words
I yearn, ache and throb for him
Could he feel the same

 

[MissPretty]

I'm bored as I sit here and wait
while I post on a penis website
My time is not yet here

 

[D_Portelay Porquesword]

Happiness is elusive
Joy never comes to call
I give up
That is all

 

[Principessa]

Okay, we need to get back on track here.

Japanese haiku have been traditionally composed in 5-7-5 syllables. When poets started writing English haiku in the 1950's, they adopted this 5-7-5 form, thinking it created a similar condition for English-language haiku. This style is what is generally considered "traditional" English haiku.

Like dew drops
on a lotus leaf
I vanish.






I'll miss you, Dad.

[Pendlum]

I do not haiku
I do not know why I don't
Maybe I should start

 

[Principessa]

I miss you Jason
Your inner glow was pretty
Beautiful Spirit

 

[Principessa]

Our loved ones die
Our relationships end
Forever is not

 

[Zeuhl34]

Haikus are for those
Who like to do poetry
But are quite lazy

 

[Principessa]

Meh, migraine headaches
Intermittent throbbing hell
Need a cool dark room

 

[crescendo69]

Ripened blackberries
on a sweaty summer day
wait in the chiggers.

 

[Hotrocker]

Serendipitous
Unexpected vis-à-vis
And never a search

 

[Ethyl]

Once again
dangle the carrot
never bite

 

[Principessa]

Left ear hurts again
Warm, wet cotton fills my head
Make the pain stop, God

​

 

[No_Strings]

Earlier tonight,
A fly flew into my eye;
Or at least, he tried.

[D_Gunther Snotpole]

Sweetly sexy earl
Picks nose morosely under moon
As crane flies over Sendai harbour.

 

[earllogjam]

Irresistible

Cherry Chocolate Covered

Rare Hhuckleberries
