Shared HAIKU ! Join in, it's fun!

mends raw misery
with strands of golden fibers
spun from a pure heart

Spun from a pure heart
The thread of man's true nature,
Emperor's new clothes

Emperor's new clothes,
Machine washed, dried and ironed;
That must have hurt him!

That must have hurt him!
Said the rugby team's medic
His neck's all messed up.

"His neck's all messed up."
That's okay, it's your first try.
"Play-dough is squashy."

Play-dough is squashy;
try to bake it and it melts;
eat it and it hurts.

Eat it and it hurts,
Go ask Evil Knievel.
Kids never listen.

Kids never listen.
That's what adults always say.
Do you think that's fair?

Do you think that's fair,
grounding a bad teenager?
Yes, he failed english.

Yes, he failed English
But that did not stop him from
Writing best sellers.

Writing best sellers,
Smut to please the masses; yet
I made a living.

I made a living,
I lived, I sat and waited
I left, I'm living.

I left, I'm living.
The sun is rising at dawn
Bringing drops of dew.

I left, I'm living.
The sun is rising at dawn
Bringing drops of dew.


I think japanese used such similies in haiku very often.

Bringing drops of dew
Morning proudly undoes night
Heralding the day
