Haikus!!!

[celiaKitten]

You remember those little poems? Three lines,
line 1: 5 syllables
line 2: 7
line 3: 5

(Note: Inspiration from Miss Taken's thesaurus thread that turned into an absolute riot ..)

so I'll start ..


Two dogs walking by
lifting legs for sweet release
they got each other

 

[KillerMuffin]

Can you pluralize haiku that way I wonder?

 

[Willing and Unsure]

Can you pluralize haiku that way I wonder?

i guess so since she did

 

[Ayaka]

We had to learn Basho at school. I can't forget it now.

Waterjar cracks

I lie awake

This icy night

 

[LadyDarkFire]

I always thought it was Haiku for both single and plural.

 

[Ayaka]

There isn't a plural

 

[LadyDarkFire]

So you can only refer to one Haiku at a time? Or is it only a form, like you would say Several Haiku Poems? Or do you just use Haiku for the plural and not think about it?

 

[Ayaka]

You would talk about 'these Haiku' or 'this Haiku'. This is hard to explain, I'm sorry

Another I remember, I think it was Koj or maybe Basho

Hoarfrost spikes
have sprung out overnight
like the hairs on my chin



That one always made me laugh.

 

[LadyDarkFire]

Ok, Basically it's like the word "Moose"? Where the single form is also the plural form?

 

[MissTaken]

Mosquito blues

Buzzing through the air
He sees a car moving there
Squash! He looked too close

 

[MissTaken]

the heart whispering
secrets of pain, loss and hope
the healing begins


Sorry, didn't mean to get so serious.

 

[celiaKitten]

Oops

Sorry! I spelled it wrong! Sheesh kids! Can we stop keeping this thread alive merely to poke at an 's'??? Put in a funny haiku!

Thank you Miss Taken - you are a darling.

 

[Ayaka]

Rain splashing on road
After the leaves are gone
Mud on shoes

 

[Ice Princess]

Within the wintry grove, my axehead fell
And bit the bark – How startling was the smell!
-- Buson

[MissTaken]

Rushing to ready
Another fucking Monday
Where is the coffee?

I know! Such beauty! Such flow of words! Such imagery! Yes. I will run out right now and copyright it

LOL

 

[Rambling Rose]

I slept awkwardly
Oh, how my back is aching
Please, would you rub it?

 

[MissVictoria]

Dragon

Smooth shining serpant
consumes fiery atoms
flies, butterly wings

 

[Rambling Rose]

I'll be late for work
If I don't stop reading these
Should I call in sick?

 

[Rambling Rose]

I am now at work
I only wish I were not
My bed feels better

 

[celiaKitten]

Crying little kid
Go to sleep you little brat
You're Aunt wants to play!

 

[naudiz]

Rigid shaft glistens; beams of jism
Pearly white. Licking lips, she laughs

Ziploc bag sealed tight
Microwave for ten minutes
Casserole explodes

 

[Adoratrice]

Patience, I have none
I expect too much from some
Soon , my day will come

 

[Pokerman]

Beautiful women
of Literotica Boards
I love all of you.

 

[MissVictoria]

Our dear pokerman
your words were so very kind
we ignore your err.
