Thread: Haiku anyone?

Sorry to break up the haiku convo but...

Darkening
Soft, it encroaches
Sable silk, bejeweled highs,
To eclipse the sole.

Wild Rose
Dewkissed, she shimmers.
A whisper and she unswirls,
Succombing to dawn.

I did it and without rambling endlessly on and on and on...



...and on...

Nice, Vex, I like the Wild Rose one.

1 - Dark City Behind City of Light

Like a sheet in night,
Impossible to discern
When removed from view.

2 - Construct

The process behind,
Everything you've ever seen,
Goes unseen by all.

Hmm...

A monkey sits nigh,
Eating chocolate slowly,
Not sure why that is.

Let's see if I can write more traditional haiku...

The Garden:
Green shootlets sprout proud
From the dark, loamy, rich soil;
Weeds to be pulled up.

Summer Shower:
Dark clouds rolling in,
Water pouring from above -
But the dog is dry.

Life Is Wonderful!:
What a gorgeous day;
Bright sunshine lights the meadow,
Deer run gracefully.

In the olden days
Everyone was either
A hero or bad

------------

Haikus are great fun
I wish I found this sooner
Oh well back to work.

VERY NICE everyone!

The boy sits right there
frustratingly difficult
frustrating... like me.

Much needed, thank you

Sorry, would have phoned
having cell problems as well
the "five" is missing

Wise old Chinese guy,
Say, "This topic is crazy",
Don't argue with him.

Wiser Clairity,
Say, "You don't like my topic..
Don't post in topic."

No room for sorries
Compassion is compassion
However it's shown

Some old proverb says;
"Sticks and stones may break my bones..."
But what do they know?

I'm surprised no one posted the "Refrigerator Haiku" :p

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

US History II

Final tomorrow
Insomnia mocking me
Posting on Dream Views

Dallian I knew
Her only a little while
Yet I miss her so.

Should be ok...

Dallian's Departure:

A most awesome girl,
Unfortunately must go;
No more will she post.


Sadly this is so,
I wish it weren't true, really -
I do, but alas.


So miss her we will;
Her sarcastic wit and prose,
We will remember.


To Dallian/MoT,
A bittersweet farewell bid;
Darned misconceptions.

I really enjoy
Reading this prolific thread
But... I really suck

1 - World of Inversion

If clowns cannot clown,
And flies walk while statues laugh,
Then stop smoking crack.

2 - The Cheater

I've a girlfriend,
A wife and a fiance,
I am a good man.

Here are a few more:

A Teenager's pain:

I silently scream
My soul cries out in anguish
Life can't be just this.

*********************

A dog's joy:

You're finally here
I thought you'd never come back
I'm so glad you're home!

*********************

Lucid Dreams:

Lucid dreams beckon
and everything within me
attempts to answer.
.

A quick one that I wrote on a napkin at Zaxby's after watching Stardust:

Like a shooting star;
It comes upon you so fast.
Love's a funny thing.

I think I'm thinking,
I know I'm feeling feelings,
I say I'm lucky.

No one knows the way to go,
just fighting everyone just to show,
I just want to know.

That's not a haiku.

why not
