haiku

look at the trees
the leaves are brighter
when the sky is grey

Husky,
Very nice! I remember one forum I went to, when we had a very long thread and every response had to be in Haiku form.

Confused..isn't a Haiku 5-7-5 syllables?

Persistent sunshine
beating down on me
Summer, finish soon!

Cute. Okay, english teacher....give him a break...it could all depend on the accent of the person when they read it....there could easily be 10 syllables if you drawl long enough.

Hehe,

I was asking a an honest question--I am a bit rusty on Haiku.

But, it's fun.

Wanna start a haiku thread? All responses must be in Haiku form?

Speaking in Haiku
Can be a challenge to us
But, it can be fun!

This is a haiku
without any real meaning
poor little haiku =(

not a haiku thread
with set rules and methods
just writing haiku

Great thread ! I adore haikus.

Here's a funny one (at least I hope ! )

The lonely vampire
Wanders alone at night.
His life is at stake !

A haiku inspired from a poem by Richard Brautigan :

Lonely and unloved
She sits in her room and thinks.
She'll make a hot bowl of soup for dinner.

Here are some other haiku-esque poems in the Brautigan tradition :

-A person is very lonely when after finishing their last gulp of tea, they see their reflection on the bottom of the mug.

-She's so hungry she picks up rice grains left on the ground after a wedding. Every single grain.

Eh? So it's supposed to be irregular? Who came up with that, huh? Haha

A tea haiku:

I picked a fallen leaf,
and put it in hot water.
There, tea for two!

I saw a penguin slide down an icy hill,
the hill didn't actually exists
and neither did the penguin?

Hahaha, hey, i'm good at this! LoL

She hears the music
She dances a jig
She's lost her love
That nasty pig

Oooh. I was a poet and I didn't know it!

P.S. Why don't we have any emoticons on this forum?

Infinite magic
Is deep within all of us
Just believe in it

~That just came off the top of my head

Kat Lady,

That was a beautiful sentiment. Thank you for sharing it.

Yes, believe!

mew, purr, flap, cockoo
i miss my cat and my bird
a prayer for pets

It's after midnight.
Why can I not fall asleep?
Maybe too much tea?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Ok, I am bored.
Nothing on tv at night.
No one to talk with.

What we dream at night.
The answer for loneliness.
Lose it when we wake.

Lost in a desert
Where no one makes an effort
To love or be loved

A dark hall where sadness gather, a palace of despair and disbelief
Nothing escapes the darkness, this appears to be the end
Friendship made a wall fall down, then shining light broke through
The tears were wiped away, oh mercy, it was only a tunnel
