Fun Haiku

[scalem X]

haiku 480 looks a lot like number 466. I like both, but am more of a fan of number 466.

 

[Talysia]

They were both mine, I think. I must be getting old if I'm repeating things that badly.

Reflections of life.
Both sun and rain fall on us
Time and time again.

 

[Falsteed]

It is snowing now.
Unprepared for the changes.
Huddled in my cave.

 

[scalem X]

seikai no inshou
nikkou to ame furu
itsumo furu

(an awful translation of the last poem by Taly)

 

[Talysia]

Good one, Falsteed.

That actually a very nice translation, Scalem, and well done for getting the syllables to fit! I would definitely have struggled with it.

 

[Harpo]

Yesterday in town
Handing out chocolate coins
In exchange for smiles

 

[Talysia]

Night falls. Skies darken.
Stars shine, and my friend, the moon,
casts soft light around.

(Sorry if that one's a bit weak. It's difficult thinking up a haiku about nature without talking about the weather is getting a bit difficult!)

 

[scalem X]

I actually really like that last one.

seikai no shizen
gawa ya yama miru
haiku wo kaku

all of world's nature
observing streams and mountains
while writing haiku

 

[jackokent]

From me:

Life on the sofa
Isn't easy when my dog
Tries to push me off


From my dog:

Comfort is fleeting
Luxury is a battle
The sofa is mine

 

[Hilarious Joke]

Ha ha ha ha ha
HAAA ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Funny, jackokent!

 

[Talysia]

Lol, I like that one, Jack!

Skeletal branches.
Bleak, dark claws reaching upwards,
Into a white sky.

Trying to escape Winter
And the cold of his season.

(Another weak one. What can I say - the weather here is really uninspiring lately. I'll try and do better next time)

 

[ice.monkey]

Still; the dark folds in.
Silence hangs like icy breath.
Frost kisses the night.

 

[ice.monkey]

Moonlight sparkles frost.
Stars twinkle the black heavens.
Night a silver day.

 

[Tea is my copilot]

getting to know one
always destroys the magic
of their perfection

 

[Pyan]

Winter frost is here
In the cold morning, I hear
Windscreens being scraped clear...

 

[ice.monkey]

Py commits the sin
a third line made of six; shock!
what an amateur

 

[Pyan]

I don't understand
I said Windscreens being scraped clear...
now I make that five....

Perhaps Ice Monkey
would like to check his figures
and apologise?

 

[Pyan]

Of course, I'm using
"Being" as a dipthong, and not
as two syllables....

 

[ice.monkey]

Ah, the art licence
A dipthong when one wants one
even when not there!

 

[Talysia]

Glittering with frost.
Brittle ice adorns the pond.
Winter's chilly grip.
