Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

Fading sanity
Washed away in the waters,
Oh! I can now think!

Oh! I can now think
Of the things that I never
Did when you were here.

Did, when you were here
Illogical sound reasons
Made it more worthwhile.

Made it more worthwhile
Laying in your arms that night
Thinking of your friend.

thinking of your friend,
that one who always cared most.
your friend 'till the end

Your friend till the end
Uncompromising truth told
Childhood memories

Childhood memories
Catalogued like a phonebook--
Pages of yellow

pages of yellow
moth wings crumbling, shimmery
dust of final flights

Dust of final flights
Dissipating into the
Air where we just were.

Air where we just were
Stinks like a furry wombat.
Who brought the horse in?

Who brought the horse in?
Tail brushes in discontent
Green fields unsettled

green fields unsettled,
but spoken for; wal-mart knows
opportunity

welcome to the forum, dramasnot. :D

opportunity...
the right place for the right time.
does this hafta rhyme?


hehe!

Hey we've go a great new group playing haiku. :thumbs_up Welcome and thanks all.


Does this hafta rhyme?
Not until the end of time.
Can you spare a dime?
:D

dust of final flight,
from the wings of yellow moths,
electricity

[ the moths were zapped to death...]

Just tidying things up:

Can You Spare A Dime?
Cant afford to pay for the
Electricity

Electricity;
crunch wintergreen lifesavers,
entertain the kids.

Entertain the kids
Pierced juice boxes stain work clothes
Laughter nonetheless
(thanks for the welcome riesa! i love it here)

Laughter nonetheless
Permeates this solemn act
Smiling, I cut in.

Smiling, I cut in
And dance with the pretty girl.
Slow dance under moon.

slow dance under moon
does it get better than this?
lets not go from here

I love this, I just learnt about haiku

Lets not go from here
Time wielding blades of danger
Cower as corpses

cower as corpses
of old Japanese battles
strewn with ghost haiku

Strewn with ghost haiku
Ressurecting syllables
Words live forever

Words live forever
like weathered rocks they stand strong
look at that mountain

Look at that mountain
The breeze carreses my wings
Countryside flying

nice haiku, drama.

Countryside flying
vulnerable to winds quick
and precarious

and precarious
ventures sometimes need a net
for falling flyers

for falling flyers
World of harsh statements printed
Then thrown into wind

Then thrown into wind
Cares and considerations
Have no real sway here.

Have no real sway here
Oppresion silenced all voice
Shoved into pavement

Dramasnot6, the last line was 7 syllables...

I'd like to hop on backwards to Shoutgrace's...

Have no real sway here
Locked in the pages of you.
Stocked piles of cold dreams.

Stocked piles of cold dreams
empty hollow tin refuse
loitering my past

Only 5, actually.

Loitering my past
Panhandling by the curbside
Shoved in-to pave-ment

Shoved in-to pavement
Dragging chains and cold feet
feeding on your dreams...

Feeding on your dreams
I roll over and snuggle.
Her shoulder feels cold.

her shoulder feels cold
with winter lips black and blue
Dont go, dont go, stay

Don't go, don't go, stay
Chasing sanity, don't leave.
No more running, please

it was 5!
shoved=1 its not pronounced Sho-Ved
in-to= 2
pave-ment= 2 (could u have thought "pa-veh-ment"????)
2+2+1=5 syllables

No more running, please
Blisters engulf weary feet
The finish line looms
