Haiku

[Candy_Kane54]

Writing Limericks
Can be fun. Writing Haiku
Is so much harder.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

You get seventeen
Syllables only, and so
much to be written.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

A proper Haiku
Has a season, a time, and
A landscape feature.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

A waterfall froze
by Winter cold gleams in the
Afternoon sunshine.

 

[Photog1rl]

As litsters we don't
Handle emotions that well
Sadness is taboo

 

[AlinaX]

fear not the winter
for the most precious jewels
melt in the springtime

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Have you wondered how
'Tripping the Light Fantastic'
Came to mean dancing?

 

[Candy_Kane54]

In Summer's dry heat
The river's cool water makes
Daytime bearable.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Fall's colorful leaves
Paints a pretty picture on
The hills around me.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Once upon a time,
A haiku was written that
made a lot of sense.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Since pepper is a
Season(ing), a haiku can
include it as well.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

As a Veteran
Myself, I will celebrate
Their service to us.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

A tree falls in the
Woods but is not heard. Is it
A useless gesture?

 

[Candy_Kane54]

'Thrice Upon A Time'
By James Hogan is a great
Sci-fi love story.

 

[AlinaX]

(Interesting. Reminds me of Mobius Dick.)

 

[Candy_Kane54]

A limerick ran
Into a Haiku in a
bar and made free verse.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Soon, an Iambic
Pentameter emerged and
blank verse won the day.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

The Haiku staggered
Home, vowing to never be
The bottom again.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

The Limerick laughed
and bought everyone a drink
Before he went home.

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Unfortunately,
The blank verse never caught on
And faded away.

 

[AlinaX]

verily I say
this minimalist art form
doth protest too much

 

[AlinaX]

oh how the words gape
when stretched by a thick poet
intending mischief

 

[Winter_Fare]

Sweet little sonnet
Watching from the doorway
Faints dramatically

 

[Bamagan]

This haiku thread has
gone so far so long that
it's now an epic

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Blank verse or free verse?
The answer lies in what you
are trying to do.
