Subject: Be Creative With a Haiku Thread
Written By: Philip Eno on 01/29/08 at 1:31 pm
In this form of poem the words are set to seventeen syllables in the format of three lines, with the lined syllables as five, seven and five. The traditional Haiku is set to a theme of nature.
Here is my first example.
Dark clouds above me
Looking like rain very soon
Run under cover

The cat's on the bed
Licking his nether region
Time to change the sheets
Maybe something a bit more "poetic":
Early morning sun
Illuminates everyone
Until evening comes
A meta-haiku:
Between these haiku-
I like the first one better
Chris, stop licking your...!
Random haiku:
Plural of haiku
Is "haiku" and not "haikus"
Turnips grow in dirt

On that note, a variation on a theme I read several years ago:
Poster 1: "Hey, man, haikus aren't just 5/7/5, they're supposed to include a seasonal reference!"
Poster 2: "Haikus are easy / But sometimes they don't make sense / Up yours, it's winter!"

gone for just a little while
But I have returned for good, I think
Glad you have returned
But be sure to follow rules
When writing haiku! ;)
