Fun Haiku

[Pyan]

Blossom falls gently
It leaves the branch adorned with
Young fruit and green leaves.

 

[HardScienceFan]

the river of hope
flow through our lives
its balmy shores invigorate

 

[Talysia]

A noturnal tryst.
Moon vanishing behind clouds.
The light slips away.

 

[ice.monkey]

oh so shallow breath
a whisper too faint for my ears
and then she is gone

 

[Talysia]

Midnight starlit sky.
Pale land meets darkened heavens.
A beautiful sight.

 

[ice.monkey]

ivy grips the walls
empty halls dusty and damp
a lone death crow calls

 

[JDP]

Eschewing constraint,
My verse breaks free of the mould.



I bet that I can
Make you count the syllables.
There, told you I could.

 

[Talysia]

From bloom to bloom goes
A velvet winged butterfly.
As free as the wind.

 

[Erin99]

Why did she wander
Without meaning or purpose
No one ever knew.

-------------------------------

Years pass like winter
Her heart is frozen and numb
Pain is all she sees.

 

[HardScienceFan]

a snowflake melts
eternity beckons silently,
rebirth offers hope

 

[ice.monkey]

no desire to move
heavy eyelids fight to close
the sandman cometh

 

[Naryaló S dú]

Everything is gone;
Your life's work has been destroyed.
Squeeze trigger (ja/nein)?

 

[Erin99]

Do you understand
The pain of watching life leave
And being helpless.

--------------------------

Black is the colour
Of a soul tainted by death
Grey is the future.

--------------------------

The world is dying
Life is failing one by one
Is there a future?

 

[Naryaló S dú]

Two tires fly. Two wail.
A bamboo grove, all chopped down.
From it, warring songs.

-----------------------------------

Worker bees can leave.
Even drones can fly away.
The queen is their slave.

-----------------------------------

 

[Pyan]

Why is ev'ry one
in such a black mood tonight?
Cheer up! Life is good!

Make each moment count
you should try to live your life
like the grasshopper

He sings all day long
counts not the hours 'til twilight,
but enjoys the sun.

 

[HoopyFrood]

But the grasshopper
Thought not of the Winter months
And must beg from ants!

 

[Pyan]

Better to live life
to the full now,than to fret
about what's to come

Think of the future,
yes, but don't forget the fun
that today may bring!

 

[HoopyFrood]

Have your fun now then
But when snow settles knock not
To ask for my grain!

Heh, I'm kidding, I agree with what you said

 

[HardScienceFan]

the stork lurks
waving reeds concealing
the frog's machinegun

 

[Pyan]

Hmmm... nice image, but the generally accepted form is

• Five syllables:
• Seven syllables:
• Five syllables,

Ben - the fun is choosing the words to make your point, whilst staying strictly within the rules......
