warmth is contrast
to cold which is reality
it bears sadness

rain yields life
yet can also take life
i drive a car

hello all! :)

i've been out of town for the past three days... sorry that i've not responded to you all...

thanks for continuing the thread... it think all of your words are awesome *big smile*

5-7-5, right? here it goes:

Pouring rain today-
A drenched, alone homeless man-
I took his money.

Another one:

A lost little girl-
Searching for dad, tears in eyes-
I peed on her head.

Don't take offense now-
My haikus aren't serious-
Just a light doggerel.

Lots of great Haiku here, there's a seperate term for poems that fit the 5-7-5 form, but don't use seasonal references, I just can't remember it right now. That being said here are a few of mine:

I'll just lay my head
on a grassy pillow
and watch the clouds pass

(yeah the second line has 6 syllables, sometimes you have to sacrifice rules for beauty)

Skeletons of trees
give to the october wind
Winter's coming soon

If I told Basho
how much I hated nature
he'd kick my ass hard

(Basho was the first haiku poet)

birds on the feeder
blissful little featherbrains
how i envy them

***

what dark hole is this
that eats light and belches tears
give us back our joy

***

tangled green branches
twined like lovers' raptured limbs
it is not fall yet

***

Strawberries and cream?
Yesterday grief, tomorrow
grief. Enjoy today.

metal, smacking me
upside the head. blackness. pain.
i am being mugged.

breaks personal rule, but ah well

I Am The "Nice Guy"
They Say, 'Nice Guys Finish Last'....
When Will The Race End?

Its Our Hidden Gift.
We All Have One True Purpose,
Z, You Have Found Yours.

My New Computer.
Finally We May Rejoice!
It Shall Be Built SOON!

My Haiku Title.
Somtimes It Is My First Line.
I Think It Is Neat.

Good Night! and Farewell!
I Have Work In The Morning...
So Now I Must Sleep.

that made me laugh so hard i am surprised my parents haven't come to see ifi cracked up :)

tfp so full of porn
the beautiful women are so damned beautiful
my keyboard rises on lap

(i couldn't resist. sorry)

excellent. and thanks, btw.

:D

Welcome one and all
To my haiku that I wrote
Dear God, I need porn

must play WarCraft3
the expansion pack i own
so lonely by self

-teardrop-

porn, how I love you!
blowjobs, lesbians, much more!
porn, you I adore

Surely you've seen these
Some are good, some not so good
rules schmules, still funny

writing haikus-fun
making them literary
is not so much fun!

darkness blinds
purpose gone
searching

last moments of life
a leaf clings then falls to earth
to be born anew

those are great *warm smile*

costello... i especially like how you brought in the nature aspect, and touch on such a human experience as well... :)

here is one of Willow's...

sitting quietly
harvest moon kissing your face
i am lost in you

My History work
Eats me up from the inside
50 years ago.

love haikus but not good at them
write so i can read

last night I was hot
pressed against the heater
and a pretty girl

I'd post mine here, but I'd rather just post them in my literature thread "One Night" along with everything else I write.
I have a thing for haikus as well. When I write one, it takes me hours to work it out to where it has the right words, sounds, and meaning.

.

skier... nice *soft smile*... thanks... i'd like to see more...

i dont like the drugs
they mayke me feel like woozy
dont send in the clowns

.

I've got my own thread of haiku, but I figured a community effort might be appreciated...

Stillness abounding
Dripping silence of spring rain
Purity anew

it is very much appreciated!
that is very good... i am impressed... *warm smile*

thanks... i'll be sure to check out your thread...

Opening old thread
Haiku I cannot resist
Is this called a bump?

I found a series
of haiku I wrote last year
I thought I would share.

When I get upset
With myself for being late
Love brings me ice cream

Nick is drunk again
Tonight he hugs a bucket
Leaves for Europe soon

Escape from prison
Only for a little while
But god, it’s worth it

And Pink Floyd had screamed
“The worms ate into his brain”
As the wall fell down

Threw the sky away
I didn’t wish to see it
Now I miss the sun

Clock ticks overhead
Pen taps against blank pages
Another test failed

She dances with stars
A nebulaic dancer
That will not come down

graceful faeries dannce
upon waterlily beds
a moonlit ballroom

Inside Joke
giant spiders prey
on little girls drinking tea
mongoose saves the day

Bacardi Breezers
It only takes two
For me to tell a stranger
How I look naked.

Still, the leaves ponder
Then the wind of spring arrives
cool, now the leaves dance

In tilted nonsense
the haiku are silliest
no credit for posts

(ah, so what, I dig silly)

Oh man! Is there allready a nonsense thread active?

On the pitch he stands
My eyes delight in his form
No act but in dreams
