OT: Post your Haiku [Caution: Highly Addictive]

[anton]

Just thought I'd start a Haiku thread. Its a simple traditional Japanese form of poetry. The Haiku must consist of three lines, the first one has 5 syllables, the second - 7, and the third line has 5 again. Here is an example of a haiku you might remember from Fight Club:

worker bees can leave
even drones can fly away
the qeen is their slave

Here is a quick attempt by me:

Walking through the street
The men stop to fix their ties
All we are is dust

and another:

Writing this Haiku
Makes my naughty bits tingle
I know I am weird


Post your haiku!!

[Ka]

Red Light
if everybody cross
then no problem

just a try

[Xebsball]

hmm k lets try... dont mind if cant calculate sylabes right


You call me Xebby
The eye shines light yellow
It is the grey door

[rubthebuddha]

you call me buddha
then rub my head and tummy
fast asleep i fall

[DelicateSound]

Lyle's Golden Syrup
Goes really great with Corn Flakes
But not with sandwich.






It's a novel spin on the limerick thread :D

You can call me ray

or you can call me mack

You play with chilli
Drive with no future chilli
Buy chilli on store


I like bananas
They mostly come at night fruit
cake mostly he eat

[Kristoffer]

wind of light in night
scream the shadow in hunger
Thus,it is darkness


Hey this is fun :) I remember we used to do these in 3d grade..

[Cody]

geranium white
cloudy mist brings heart of red
and so, we have pink

wandering over
she comes to a sword in stone
but trusts in her hands

his mind in fragments
graceful fighter rides dragon.
which insiders scream?

robins know the dawn
touch of dew brings forth singing
at night, melodies

know of tears uncried
words unsaid except to wind
everywhere life speaks

no wind. no rain. oh
earth is ravaged and sterile
did the spaceship land

A very economical way to write and think. this was fun.

[Kristoffer]

My balls are frozen
My cow is frozen aswell
I'm ****ing leaving!!


Blood that surrounds me
Water that heals my essence
The life wich is I..



hehe poetic huh? :D

[Merryprankster]

Univision!
Futbol players tear about
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL! loud b@stard.

[Merryprankster]

Serenely I walk
Warrior's way to follow.
D@mn! Dog poop on feet.

[Merryprankster]

MAN, Ninjas are sweet!
They flip out and kill people.
I long for tabis.

[DelicateSound]

I really flip out
And kick my mom in the head
Ninjas are mammals

I'm in a good mood
I have just eaten Oatcakes
They were very nice.

[Chang Style Novice]

Grab elbow at sleeve
Step in and thrust hips backward
Osoto gari

The chimpanzee scoops
Something from the ground and aims
Duck! He will throw it!

Moe Larry and Shemp
Strike one another and I
Must laugh nyuck-nyuck-nyuck

Linseed oil and turp
Rags sit in a metal can
Soon they will ignite

I ate the whole pie
With peppers and extra cheese
Ooh, my tummy hurts

Malt barley and hops
Are mixed with water and yeast
Beer is the result

My scanner requires
A SCSI card but my box
Has no proper slot

Any d@mn thing can be
A haiku if you just make
Sure line breaks are right

[African Tiger]

Coward or hero
warrior hiding inside
yet to show true self

[Taone]

Sitting late at night
Reading posts from kung fu guys
Sleep tugs my eye lids

Calm before the storm
Fist shoots out like lightning strike
Power glints in eye

[DelicateSound]

I'm Ashida Kim
I am a Super-Ninja
I'm an Astral Apy

[David Jamieson]

bead of sweat rolls down
face red with blood and spirit
i am finished now

Yes, we ****** a lot
We ******, but then she left me.
What a ****** *****.

[DelicateSound]

LongTo has been rude
Kung Lek will now close this thread
The touchy Canadian

[David Jamieson]

i will not close it
but take fair warning my friend
i will edit it

:D
peace

[DelicateSound]

:D LOL

It is very true
He has indeed altered it
LongTo has been told

:)

[LongTo]

A great gift you have
To speak the obvious thing.
You ruined my art!

[David Jamieson]

i speak only this
one man's art not anothers
is traded for tact

:D

peace

[LongTo]

If art is ruined
Strictly in the name of tact
All of us have lost.

The ****ing ****er
****ed! **** you you ****ing ****!

[David Jamieson]

art for it's own sake
a pearl, unfound by many
rare practice indeed

peace

[LongTo]

I am quite amazed.
You keep sprouting those hi-ku
despite the boredom.

It's apparent now.
Though you may like being mod
You're probably paid. :D

[joedoe]

Rumbles in tummy
Is it food that I now seek?
Time to take a dump

The excitement mounts
The climax has been achieved
That movie was bad

Punch kick punch kick punch
My adversary strikes back
God I suck at this

Oconomowoc
It's a fun word, try saying
Oconomowoc

It's in Wisconsin
It's not as much fun to say
Wisconsin, is it?

[Sum Sing Wong]

Show them your tiny wang
Its like a baby Jesus
Don't get embarrassed


I like to eat pie
not when it falls from the sky
Catch her in the rye


Financial puppies
will not return your brown shoes
so don't take out loans

Man this stuff is wierd
I think I will stop right now
wait! no, right now... Bye

Sifu shares his art
Body aches so knowledge grows
The treasure for life

[Repulsive Monkey]

I look for sheep
I hear their bleet
they gather around the same puddle


a many roomed house
all the doors are open
the house keeper is happy


and just before I sign off:

I cannot live forever
how can my legacy remain
I drink my tea

[dezhen2001]

kinda depressing, but heres my effort: (i feel better now btw)

Clouds cover my mind
Loss of all my direction
Where is my centre?

Fear, Insecurity,
What happened to my Foundation?
Is all lost? Still Hope...

Problems pile on top,
How can i support? Ma bu?
Don't think it's strong enough...

Or is it my mind?
How will i overcome this?
Where is my Centre?

Without it, all lost,
How can i find myself?
the Dao is all around...

wow - reading that back is depressing :)

I would like to quote some "honku" from the Newspaper:

You from New Jersey
honking in front of my house
in your S.U.V.

Terrorism is
a Lincoln Continental
leaning on the horn.

Smoking cigarettes
blasting Hot 97
futilely honking.

Oh, forget Enron,
the problem around here is
all the **** honking.

What keeps me from just
pelting your honking auto
with rotting garbage?

We walk happily.
You honk in snarled traffic.
Who gets there first? Us!!

Oh, jeezus Chrysler,
What's all the ****ed honking Ford?
Please shut the truck up!

Peace.

[Chang Style Novice]

That's truly beautiful, Shadowdragon.

May I suggest you investigate this thread (http://peoplesforum.com/cgi-bin/forum?50@@.f1cf5f0/104) on another site? If you don't post 'em there, I will.
