First thread now come to end
here we go once more
RJ where are you? come home
Brandon, did you delete yours?
yep, I had seth take it out to the garbage can.
YOu didnt have to do that....we could have had two!
Brandon had Haiku thread too
Seth threw it away
bummer, two would have been fun
Two haikus for you
A thread evolves, now it's two
Evolving haikus
Girl with the dark hair
Dancing through her life today
What will come tommorrow?
In life, you sometimes
walk in darkness a short while.
Coffee tables lurk.

Lord, will you please come quickly?

Giant m - 80
pastor visits rest room- big bang
me looking for a new church
Haikus go silent
As spring contemplates a rest
Green leaves will still glow
A bitter black brew
percolates in the cauldron
Time to face the day!
But three hours of sleep
Cell phone leads back to grindstone
Dr. Pepper starts
:biglaugh:
:beret:
A hard day's workin'
It's time to kick off my shoes
boy, am I ready
Seems like a while ago somebody tried stringing together several Haiku, and was told that was breaking every rule in the book....but I'm too lazy to go look. LOL And besides...I've always been a rebel! Why change now? :updown:
Light breeze on my face
The sound of rushing water
Tumbling past the rocks
Swirling downstream and
Joining another river
Grows ever deeper
Gaining momentum
Through both forest and canyon
Til it finds the sea
My thoughts meander--
Small things lead to destiny
But God guides the course
Mountains and valleys
Wilderness, too, He uses
Each place I come through
Til finally I reach
The place I am designed for
The place I belong
A place of no tears
But of joy--it's called Heaven
My destination
:beret:
True love does unfold
As a flower's petals grow
One step at a time
Alas, what is this to see?
Man of news to spur
intrest in lovely lady
A Belated Mother's Day Haiku
Celebrate the day?
Quiet sigh and teary eye.
Hug your Mom for me.
p.s. The day wasn't as bad as the haiku sounds. I just had a few moments. God is good, though. He is becoming my *everything* more than I ever imagined possible.

Warm sleepy breezes.

Love's light gentle, true
Crisp night nor sunny day dim
Glow of true heart's-light

Father's day gone by

his voice echos strong
Summer is full-fledged.

These holidays aren't always easy when everyone is concentrating on what is lost to you.
Grave voices echo
Clearer than voices in ears.
Constant reminders
The sun crawls skyward
as my alarm clock signals
a new beginning
Like a downhill stone
tomorrow will keep rolling,
giving place to today
I like it. *smile*

Obsidian walls
roses grow pink on trellis tall
summer speaks, again
Water cascades, falls
Turbulence rises, foams, swells
Rising sun, birds call

Remnants of childhood
Being packed away today

All my yesterdays

The best still remains.

Turkeys are roasted
Eagles nest aloft

Plummets, diving swoops
Sun setting in west
Mountains rise while shadows fall
Night comes to bring rest

Singles, marrieds, too
Write a haiku, why don't you
Post, and don't be blue
father reaches down
child in tears hand touches face
child knows strength flows heartward
Silent thoughts unwind
Past, present, and future times
Autumn night passes
Autumn chill, moonlight still
Shines down on October's hills
A quiet place in time
People awake, arrive
An end to peaceful thinking
Look for an exit
silent wail streaking sky
listening to it heart melts
child mind comforted
pattern seemingly
one thing after another
troubles mount quickly
Tiny pools, crystal
Blue - pulling me in deeper
Your eyes mesmerize

Sun, waves, wind and time
Unfold and ever unwind
Autumn shades of time
Leaves of fall recline
Indigo stream then consigns
All to hands of time
Sun's rays cool and blue

Heeding autumn's call
smiles seem warmer
when the wind nips
autumn noses

Mine have a hearty sprinkling of green, grey and blue, but when I wear dark green, they look mostly green.
I can never figure out what color to call them.

Eyes of Blue, Green, Brown...
Poet said "that's all" and left.
Feeling so left out
eyes of black
winter moongazing
twixt raven locks
Hazel equals green
Should turn that frown upside down
Wonderful, you see
Okay, here is the conclusion to the eye haikus. :teeth:
Shafts of blue and brown
And green surround, as I gaze
Held close in your eyes

One haiku per post. :teeth: As you can see, we don't always follow that rule. lol
B
yeah, thats the problem.. I don't know what a Haiku is?
btw, my perfume is Haiku, just thought I would share
Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry. A single haiku consists of 3 lines of 5-7-5 syllables. There are no rhyming requirements. They are usually about nature, but as you can read, we write them about everything. :teeth: haha
B
However, Lady Krissa, Brannon _has_ been known to get a little pointed when people try to freestyle away from the 5-7-5 format too much! :grin:
John :waving:
Brannon. he posts some
Likes haiku five-seven-five
And no other way

rofl! True, I don't write them any other way, and I do prefer them that way. :teeth: I will, however, give kudos to other forms of "haiku" that I like. I'm pretty sure there are examples of that in this thread. :grin:
B
Why is your haiku
Syllable by syllable
Get counted each time
:laughhard:
*shrugs* As far as I can tell, it's the traditional form used by the Japanese. I like sticking to it. Which is kind of interesting, because most of my other poetry is free verse. I dunno why I'm a stickler when it comes to haiku. haha! I guess 'cause I feel like freestyling it too much declassifies it as haiku.
B
im not good with syllabuls...
It sits alone there
Desolate without a light
Will you call me please
Guess what that is.. :biglaugh: my first one.
Very good! And, unless I'm mistaken, you are referring to your phone.

was that a *hint *hint.. ?? :laughhard:
"A haiku can be anywhere from a few to 17 syllables, rarely more. It is now known that about 12- not 17- syllables in English are equivalent in length to the 17 onji (sound-symbols) of the Japanese haiku." -Cor van den Heuvel in the forward to the 3rd edition of The Haiku Anthology.

I thought about titling this one "the lonely king" or some such, Coolguy said I should make that clear, since it could be interpreted that I meant wife or woman. A king has a fool or jester to speak truth to him and to make fun of him when he does something stupid...

LOL! Hey, God can do anything! :freaky2:
Rain. Winds. Cold. No snow. :-(
Puddles rise and branches fall.
Sirens howl. I shiver.

Biting, stabbing cold
Glittering crystals of white
Painfully gorgeous

I see you do like the wintery haiku, Brannon! :thumbsup2:
------------------------
Stars bright, crystals cold
Contrasts raven hair pale face
Nightime beauty, quite!
That, I do. :teeth: Winter is a very poetic season, imho (http://brannon.kuahale.com/poetry.php?poem=2).

That maketh sense!

Cold air, frozen breath
Plumes of smoke rise as she speaks
Words, beauty is she

They are quite good, indeed. Any news on the muse?
Whose muse? And who's the muse? :teeth:
B
Whose muse? John's muse.
Who's John's muse? The raven haired beauty, of course!
Inspirational
Snow angel with raven hair
Who is the lady?
Time, perchance it runs
Face not to be forgotten
Away, neither forgot
Windswept snow and ice
Glistens 'gainst raven hair's locks
In night she beckons
Tears again fall
Cannot sleep, my pillow wet
Will this ever end?
Icy air descends
Nature's stalagtites engage
Winter's displayed sight
why do i weep now
when my peace in him i find
Jesus, peace, my friend

I REALLY like that one, Newsman! Great work indeed.
And did someone say there are hot lattes to be shared somewhere? :eyebrow:
:tantrum: I NEVER share hott lattes! My hott latte is MY hott latte. ;)
:beret:
:sadbounce:
:headrub:
In my experience, a hot latte is more than a latte when it's a 'hott latte'... *grin*
I am but a humble poster, though, not an investigator, so I'll keep my secret code and y'all keep the Haiku coming. ;) ;)

Snow woman is cold
Melody? what can I do???
Hot latte! Puddle...
BOL!
snow woman frozen
how can I help set her free?
a hot branding iron!
Snow falls, drifts, sifts, calls
From winter's cold wonderland
Heart stirs, takes in all
A blanket of white
And a sky full of snow's show
Dazzles, mellows, all
Here is summer like heat
Hurry, quick! Turn on the A C!
February in Florida
(This one is TRUE, I turned on the AC yesterday)
Spring is closing in
with new determination
Pushes on persistently
Cali Christmastime
No snow, no cold, no heaters
Go ride your new bike!
:sadbounce:
I miss the snow. *sigh*
Winter's last snowfall
Carpetting the paths between
Year's end and new spring
Last? Last?! Noooooooooooooooooooooo....

Rainy cloudy days
Chilly fingers, freezing toes
Blanket, pillow, please!
Where shadows stand talll
And heroes fall in dark night
Our faith stands in God

White, serene, pure, and so bright
Visual delight

Have you heard the album Something About Us by Michael O'Brien? Sometimes your poetry remind me of his lyrics.

I really like the whole album... but don't tell Sir John, or he'll be suspicious of me. *grin*:beret:
Thanks! The lyrics I've heard, so far, I like. So, I consider the fact that my poetry reminds you of him as a compliment. :teeth: Good lyrics are hard to find, anymore.

B, I assure you it was a compliment. :) He's got a number of lines with great word pictures, and little twists on words that you have to keep on your toes to catch. That's why I like his stuff so much, and why it reminds me of your poetry.
:beret:
That's awesome! That's exactly what I love and try to do. :thumbsup2: I'm going to have to get some of his stuff. :teeth:

Not, but lives in Big Apple
Breaks hearts into parts
The flowers of spring
From the last of winter's snow
Grows purple from white

From white and black, winter's robes
Seasons change, evolve
Moonlight on water
Reflecting through waves of time
The beach is our lives
