heartbeats melt away
nor should we anticipate
live with the rhythm
a minstrel's ballad
a minstrel's ballad
strummed softly beneath the boughs
a minstrel's ballad
strummed softly beneath the boughs
trees swaying in time
how come I always seem to get here for the intro? that's the hardest part! (and least fun)
lingering in blue
lingering in blue
folded, gently, in quarters
lingering in blue
folded, gently, in quarters
the box now hidden
Grasses rise golden
Grasses rise golden
brush against my ankle
Grasses rise golden
brush against my ankle
sunlight painting me
He stands by the sea
He stands by the sea
waiting for the wind to rise
He stands by the sea
waiting for the wind to rise
enticed by her scent
He heard castanets
He heard castanets
and the clicking of her heels
He heard castanets
and the clicking of her heels
her skirt hem brushed him
Handful of pebbles
Handful of pebbles
Thrown like dice upon the sand
Handful of pebbles
Thrown like dice upon the sand
and sway with the tide
Sorry IP, couldn't resist ... :pQuote:

The pines are sighing
The pines are sighing
restless winds caress the hawks
The pines are sighing
restless winds caress the hawks
thunderstorms threaten
Look! Up there! The sky!
Look! Up there! The sky!
It's lower than yesterday!
Look! Up there! The sky!
It's lower than yesterday!
Tomorrow we'll be flying!
You are by my side
You are by my side
stuck to me like Elmer's glue
You are by my side
stuck to me like Elmer's glue
I need my glue gun
a bear-claw necklace
a bear-claw necklace
hung around his tawny neck
a bear-claw necklace
hung around his tawny neck
resenting whiteness
sorrow lives inside
sorrow lives inside
but embarrassed when it shows
sorrow lives inside
but embarrassed when it shows
wrinkles never lie
Is love second-hand?
Is love second-hand?
As glamorous as we think?
Is love second-hand?
As glamorous as we think?
or a lie?
What is truth?

Yes, the format we have adopted is the 5-7-5 (though there are some differences in ancient Japanese haiku form). But anyhow, would someone like to restart with a five syllable line? :)Quote:
