Make a haiku

[Wife of Bath]

Tinkling irons
Thrown over my horse's back
Smell of hide and sweat

 

[wantonknowledge]

The above has me feeling horse


Should I post haikus?
No need to strain my poor brain
Maybe tomorrow

 

[AnitaMann]

(chuckle)


My ode to coffee
Precious brown liquid wake me
Now I can function

 

[sno_22]

Thristy for hot cocoa (or a mocha java..mmm)

Haiku's are so fun
though a pain before coffee
Must get some right now

 

[Holy Devil]

Eleven men on horses
ride steadily forward
through the wind and snowstorm.

 

[Sesquipedalian]

In the heat haze
singled-petalled poppies
shimmer

 

[Holy Devil]

Of all that been
and all that I've seen
Pain will never wane

 

[Midnight_Man]

Lovers like to love
Underneath the pale moonlight
All throughout the night

 

[Holy Devil]

The world is a dewdrop,
a dewdrop world...
it is, it is what is...

 

[wantonknowledge]

So this is how it goes...

the above seems wet to me


First five syllables,
Followed by only seven,
Finally just five

 

[Holy Devil]

5, 7, 5
That's how it started
But it's in Japanese

Now a haiku can be anything.

I translate haikus from Japanese to English
so 5,7,5 does not apply.

 

[Holy Devil]

Come to me
Let's play
little sparrow orphan!

Issa


You tell Issa 5,7,5 and he'll laugh at you from his grave.

Issa's one of the masters of haiku.

Bet you don't know Japanese.

You do 5,7,5 but you have no clue what is a kigo or a kireji

Your haiku is child's play.

 

[Holy Devil]

Maybe Chipbutty can teach you about English poems, but don't teach me about haikus. I think in Japanese.

 

[Storm_Lord]

Priests ... Morning glories ...
how many have died and been reborn
beneath this pine tree?

 

[RUlookingup]

dreams of submission
escape to your abandon
I do as you please

 

[Vampire_Marduk]

Cherry petals scattered
in the water between seedlings of rice:
moon and star light!

 

[Wife of Bath]

Slick roadways of ice
and snow beg my bike to skid
Hands of frigid steel.

 

[Vampire_Marduk]

It pierces my heel
as I walk in the bedroom
my late wife's comb.

 

[Sesquipedalian]

Watching the stars
through the willow branches
makes me feel lonely.

 

[Wife of Bath]

Craving the touch of
hands on my waist and hips
leaning into you

 

[JoeFalou]

Your words buzz like bugs
in a hot place. God, you are
really annoying.

 

[RUlookingup]

daddy's credit card
capitalists on their knees
mall girls sucking cock

 

[desideratum]

winds sigh through tree boughs
scattered leaves; deserted street
tumbleweed silence

 

[RUlookingup]

a wife's dreams scattered,
her moisture evaporated,
a life deserted

 

[Isid]

o fer sakes fuck
what the hell does those mean lines mean?
a weenie peenie, or what?
