The Haiku Thread
« on: February 16, 2012, 12:25:30 pm »
This thread is for those
Who wish to speak in haiku
Challenging, it is

I often wonder
If I could do this all day
Tis my endeavor

Please, feel free to post
Each haiku feeds my starved soul
Tasty, tasty soul...
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Ah, Sleepy, my friend
So good to see culture here
I hope this thread grows.

With hunger inside
This fresh morsel for your soul
A dish best served cold?

Now I wait to see
What haiku others might post
With much interest.
Part wolf, part pirate.

Odd that last one was
I say interest in 2 beats
My good old chap Jack

The salmon swim at night.
Towards your room.
The snow and the moon.

I sell haiku shirts,
But I've only sold just one.
Three dollars for me.

It would seem you did
Compose in correct metre
And proper measure.


Maybe I should start a sonnet thread - in iambic pentameter, no less. It's all the rage with us badass poets, don't ya know.

Fourteen lines, each line
Containing ten syllables
Thus easy peasy!

But not so easy
That iambic pentameter -
A bit of a bitch!
Part wolf, part pirate.

How interesting
I might try the sonnet next
You have all been warned.
