Haiku

[Voboy]

Islanders undone!
Syllables mean nothing now.
Too much change? Perhaps.

 

[AlinaX]

fetch the guillotine!
from Elizabeth to Charles
is three syllables...

 

[Voboy]

Sordidly shouted:
"I'm best!" "No, I'm best!" Whining,
The children squabble.

 

[stonedinstilletos]

Hidden need surfaces
Devil tempts, dam and vows breaks
Partner cries but stays

 

[AlinaX]

two legs in stockings
but shouldn't there be three tease
in real stilettos?

 

[stickygirl]

Small woman, big crowds
Twinkling smile, her legacy
Grey autumn's flowers

 

[AlinaX]

it's funny how threads
can weave in between fora
and just disappear...

 

[Candy_Kane54]

When I see your face,
I see your love shining through.
Lighting up my heart!

 

[Winter_Fare]

The classic haiku
Isn't just a seventeen
Syllable blank verse

Though it is perverse
Treating it as such can be
Somehow fun to do

Until it gets worse
Breaking into metered prose
Without meaning too

It becomes a curse
Somewhat confused service staff
Think me odd and rude

Maybe I'm a troll
Desecrating literature
Loving entropy

Or it's OCD
That old pathology of
Order from chaos

But you could say that describes most forms of poetry posing as prose

 

[Voboy]

Busy yesterday.
Haiku thread avoidance? Oops.
Got spicy 'round here.

 

[AlinaX]

maybe I'm a troll
to borrow a winter line
where's galadriel?

 

[Voboy]

Equinox has come.
The flowers droop in the mist.
Best time of the year.

 

[AlinaX]

rained solidly
without a moment's respite
from morning till night

 

[thejabber27]

Fleeting sounds grow dim

Still flows turbid paths fracture

Dying lights remorse

 

[Winter_Fare]

Tomatoes are fruit
Rhubarb is a vegetable
Salad is the word

 

[Voboy]

Blossoms on water:
Gemstones shine on a mirror.
I want to be there.

 

[AlinaX]

to choose ridicule
over proud full exposure
is illogical

 

[EilidhCalderwood]

Waking from a dream
wearing a big silly grin
makes the day start well

 

[AlinaX]

I like it in here
the subtext's weight an anchor
to hold the lines taut

 

[AlinaX]

a home invasion
leads to lusty safe-cracking
by some light fingers

 

[Voboy]

Possible wordplay:
So many ways to "invade."
Could be so much fun!

 

[AlinaX]

a thief in the night
picking the lock of her belt
to invade her space

 

[Voboy]

A witch, casting spells,
Stirs a slack cock to firmness,
Invading his mind.

 

[AlinaX]

hear the martians cry
songs of mechanical love
lelo, lelo, le-

 

[Voboy]

Quiet Saturday.
Wet grass on the mower blade,
Sharp bitter coffee.
