Thread: Expose your creativity. Write your own haiku!

...or just read mine.

Haiku traditionally is supposed to be three lines totalling seventeen syllables - 5 syllables for the first, 7 for the second, 5 for the third line. Modern haiku sometimes breaks these rules, so it's ok if it's not pure in form.

Just write a short poem of no more than four or five lines. It's supposed to be an observation about nature, but write whatever you want.

The only rule is that you've thought of it yourself, and it's not anyone else's work. Be original!



I'll start:

Friendship is
the way a dog sits
watching a kitten
stalk him like prey

BONUS SUPER EXTRA HAPPY HAPPY FUN POEM:

The butterflies search
for home
But the trees
are no longer there
Sorry.

Creativity
Lies solely
In the eyes
Of the beholder

BONUS SUPER EXTRA HAPPY HAPPY FUN POEM:

Ma neem
a borat
ah laik you
ah laik sekz
iz nize

Too much work for me
do not like to think a lot
This poem is over

. .

french fries on hard ground
sun shines on the salty snack
seagull chokes on fries

Hai-Clue?

In Boddy Mansion
Colonel Mustard With The Wrench
Conservatory

eyes are watching me
my paranoid brain screams
eyes are watching me

Did I do it right ?

Well I certainly am resurrecting this thread from the grave.

Anyway here's my haiku:

Sparkling sun kissed sand
Golden circle on my hand
Sworn on hallowed land

Not mine but a longtime favorite:

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

Follows the 5-7-5!
