Haiku Thread

[1sickbastard]

Structure so simple
Haikus are pleasing in form
Keep the thread going

Haiku I can do
Poetry that does not rhyme
I find most sublime

 

[1sickbastard]

Sublte is the form
Express ideas succinctly
Beautiful to see

this isn't haiku
in any meaningful way
read a book perhaps?

 

[fridayam]

Three lines only,
surely enough to say
nothing about nothing.

English is my tongue
I do not write sinographs
Books are read daily

 

[vrosej10]

haiku is what you see
a tiny moment of truth
but no epigram.

that is well and good
but haiku are more subtle
than mere syllabics

I agree with you,
analysis of haikus
really sucks to do.

Three lines are concise
fifty lines can say much more
and have less meaning

well, that is true too...
I guess I just haven't read
many good haikus.

a tree frog croaking
in a sudden summer rain
is more what I mean

Even bad haikus
Can be fun to write and read
I am entertained

a tree frog croaking

You are a Poet
Deeper meanings are your skill
No poet am I

 

[PoetGuy]

You are a Poet

why the hell not, bud?
you observe life as I do,
there's no cleverness

my inner poet is
greatly enjoying this thread
let's try sestinas.

I'm happy you're pleased
Sestinas are beyond me
My skill is so poor

How to write a haiku in a pseudohaiku:

two images
one moment present tense
maybe a season word

Follow this formula and you be quickly writing passable haiku.

winter's maladies
tissues blossom in my purse

haiku moment is
zephyr breeze and tornado
pollen swept on both

You misspelled "undisciplined." But I'm certain you did it on purpose to fit your theme. Nice work!

Yes, sure, that is it.
Let us go with that, Okay?
I did not spellcheck...
