Hiakus, Let's See Them

Dead leaf skitters shakes
Stops, motionless evermore
Silence now returns


5 syllables in the first line
7 syllables in the second line
5 syllables in the third line

ONLY three lines

Milkweed pod opens
Brittle grey releases silk
To blow to earth's end.

Stabbing pains in hip
Aging is not for the weak
My dad once told me.

Calming is nature
A quest for serenity
Easily achieved

Later, Matt

last year I was banned
from posting craigslist haikus
genius posts removed

Quest for life is on
Bringing forth the inner child
Letting him run free

I drive really fast
Cops love to ticket my ass
Now I stroll on grass.

Hemorrhoids again
Rubber donut on my seat
Itching and digging.

mo mo mo mo mo
mo mo mo mo mo mo mo
mo mo mo mo mo

ashen timber falls
new moss upon the walls
bitter grass stands tall

Sleep comes so calmly,
Consciousness quickly,
Death without warning.

Dark blood trickles down
Faceless tortured soul remains
Cries to Heaven wane

music on the shore
creeping chilled glass rushing in
lapping at my feet

Aroma filled air
A friend watches as i dine
it tastes like chicken

What is a hiaku?
It is a type of poem called
Literary Art.

Quietly creeping,
python regius finds prey
Dinner is not quiet

Start out with randomness:

Refridgerator
Popcorn tastes very yummy
Refridgerator

Then normal haikus.

All warm and sunny
Grains of sand between my toes
The beach can't be beat

Oranges are great
The color same as its name
They are a sweet treat

I really love grapes
A fruit that is plain awesome
Very nutritious

Just an FYI: Haikus usually have to with nature.

I really like this thread!

BUMP please! This is a good thread and I would like to see it keep going!

Glist'ning jade bullfrog
Czar of insects and lilies
Sticky road waffle

Driving through snowflakes
Headlight white, like blasting past
Millions of stars

(I took liberties with that one)

A single red rose
Trapped in a field of violets
Slowly turns purple

XD I worked my first night in a haunted house today! It was only the dress rehearsal, but it was inspiring. I played the part of an innocent "civilian" victim separated from my group, joined theirs, and then got "kidnapped" by a chainsaw murderer, and dragged away screaming. It was fun!

Halloween is near
ghosts and ghouls running about
are you afraid yet?

work in haunted house
got grabbed and carried away
my ribs are bruised now.

people scream a lot
afraid, children cry sometimes
the darkness is loud

strobe lights flash quickly
roaring, axeman attacks them
they run into walls.

The train rolls uphill
slowly heading to Keystone
See you in two hours

Based on my everyday experiance at work.....

..This is my first one ever be gentile.

You don't understand
The immense torture I feel
Thinking all the time.

This was meant as good natured fun poking, not as an insult or slight.

Your first effort was a fine one. Keep them coming.
