*thanks Ang :eek:[/quote]

My god, challenge my haiku skills? You shall rue this day!

darkness is his friend,
in your home unseen he lurks.
Completely unseen.

Thanks for moving this, this may turn out to be a good thread.

He loves his bad job,
Taking what is not needed.
Money down the drain.

Out the door he goes,
With all of your hard earned cash.
Now he’s stinking rich

*There is more in my sig.

I get F's on haiku's at school.

I don't get 'em at all...other than 3 lines and have to have x number of syllables per line.

I say just write a poem without limits...

Don't get me wrong, your haikus are good.

Thanks Dantrag. Haiku's are strange, they sound easy enough, but the best Haiku artists spent decades secluded from people writing Haiku. Also, amazing Haiku KhabaLox!

Large storms rolling in,
all of the crops will be fed.
The sun is hiding.

This is interesting..will someone tell me the rules and the technique in writing Haiku??

I don't even know what Haiku is... :incrediblysad:

A Haiku is a three line poem that contains 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second, and 5 syllables in the last line

You might find that useful.

If it was all wrong,
and in the end they are right,
then what is the point?



There you go....masterpiece.

Haiku is easy
simple poem and fun one
Don't diss Haiku



Had to do it, couldn't resist.

oh thanks guys...now i understand....it´s a very nice kind of poetry.....hmmm :goodjob: :lickinglips:

Your all ignoring the point of a haiku. You think all a haiku has to be is certain number of syllables? Bah.

First part: Description of something
Second Part: After thought

eg.

Doomed one spoils the fun
i am quite annoyed with him,
I shall ignore him! :<

:rofl: now that's funny.

And doomedone, while you are correct, a haiku still has to have that many lines and syllables. So both parties are correct.

(I may not be able to write them, but I know what they consist of.)

And you are ignoring the correct spelling of 'you're'.

Red your signature was correct, and I understand the syllable rule. Note I did not mention it.

Writing a haiku with no purpose is like throwing lines of water color paint on a canvas and calling it a water-color art piece.

EDIT: I thought about editting my "your" but... yeah, ignored it.

Which part of my signature? The first one? The pessimist?

All three.

I don't get it. Is it art if you use oils instead of water-colors? Jackson Pollack (and a lot of art critics) seemed to think so.

Poetry is as poetry does.

Perfection is key,
especially in haiku.
Remember this doom.

Yay, I made a teaching poem!

lol. this thread is cool. I enjoy reaading poems. (Call me a nerd I dont care.)

Too bad it would be difficult to have "Compose music thread" that would be sweet.

Yeah you're right you don't get it. Poetry is an artform as well. You asusmed by art I meant only paintings. This is what I meant, I'll make it clear.

You can't paint an art-piece by simply sticking the medium to the canvas, if you could anyone could make art. With haiku, the midium maybe a certaina mount of syllables, but that does not make it haiku simply to follow those sylalbles.

Like I said before, there were Bhudist monks who would take years to write a haiku, and would live in solitude to perfect their arts.

For example, Basho spent much of his time alone perfecting his art. Here is one of his poems:

On a leafless branch,
A crow comes to rest–
The Autumn nightfall.

Haikus are too short
They contain only three lines
I am confused now

Vengeful crocodile
Waits in deep murky water
Then strikes like lightning

:shocked:

I think your view of art and poetry is closeminded. Randomness, lack of premeditation, and absense of meaning all have their place in art. Even haiku. It may not be your daddy's haiku, but it's still a piece of art.

Randomness and lack of premeditation? Alright!

Enchanted woodlouse
Swims in vat of cheap syrup
He is quite content

I become enraged
By talk of tresspassing bears
That steal my best shoes

a dark past shrouded
eyes unclouded by hatred
made dark with red tears

is that right?

Muahahahaha.

Best not to give me any ideas.

Deodorant is
really really smelly and
it also smells weird

Thats the best I can come up with :paperbag:

I like lammas so
they are funny and hairy
and they always smile

Hey, I think I too shall make a random Haiku!

A glass eating man,
Is burning on my front porch.
He is made of cloth.

why are they slippy
the ultimate bananas
just because they are.

If you are talking
About Head Llama, then you
are right about him.

He is very weird
And not to mention hairy
he also smells bad

Awsome! 2 haikus about one subject

This is extremely funny. Anyone here play KoL? well on KoL, there is a chat room called Haiku which you MUST speak ONLY in haiku, on pain of being banned from the chat for up to 31000 days. LMAO.

Kingdom of Loathing
It has a haiku chat room
One must speak Haiku's
