Haikus number four
As the syllables unfold
Poetry galore!
The Boar crosses over
Now in relm of haiku
He takes residence
And I was NOT responsibe for it this time! Great job John!
:biglaugh:
BTW, there was once a discussion, on a medievalist website I'm part of, about going real olde-style boar hunting, with boar-spears...it never came off, though, to my knowledge.
John :waving:
The boar was hunted
From olde fame then, to newfound
Boar celebrated
Did you know that hunters used to breed chihuahuas for the purpose of hunting wild boar? They would take about a hundred on the hunt, and the dogs would chase the boar and nip and bite at his ankles untill he got so tired he would collapse, then the hunter would just walk over and cut his throut. It was a clean kill, and suprisingly they would only lose 10 or 15 of the dogs, that the boar would kill.
Just some boar-ing trivia.....bum dum ching!
Wild boar was hunted
Ankle biter annoy big pig
Yum, pork chops tonight!
:eyebrow:
:lurk:
:addnothing:
Is it your goal
to "not be a boar"?
Or to not be a bore,
or to not be a boor?
(It's not a haiku,
but it's still poetic in
its own little way.)
Perhaps it's poetic in a boorish sort of way?
:hypocrite:
I'm tired of the boar
But at the same time it's funny
Does that make me nutty?
I hate the board. :angry:

night, fabled starlight
gazing, Orion is bright
Oklahoma night
Rainbow, so gaudy,
"I will be there with bells on!"
Brighten rainy days.
Starry, starry nights
bright Oklahoma delight
No where else quite right
starry starry night
paint your palette blue and gray
swirled and glitter sprayed
Frozen moon, mists rise
Night descends, darkening skies
Cold sky of winter

Ice shards, cold west wind
Flowers already in bloom
Winter's cold last stand

The light of the crescent moon
Reveals, conceals, close
Pondering feelings
Twitterpatedly sharing

:o Do I need to call you, Elona?
:beret:
I'm okay, Ruby. My world is still effectively upside down, but one of my lifelong best friends just lost her boyfriend in a motorcycle accident last night. He dropped her at her house and was killed on his way home. It really made me stop and think about how short life can be and how much we can take for granted.
I haven't written anything in a truly poetic sense, since high school...I'm not sure that I could do it anymore..LOL Well maybe not in public! :P I guess I could pull out my old papers! :-? :biglaugh:
Elona~ many prayers
Thanks, Becca.
What is better than
poetic cam'raderie?
A response in verse.
Lightning, twisters, few
Smoke, fire, hail, blasting winds roar
Oklahoma eve
The night is masked by
bright and artificial light.
Cities don't have stars.
Walls surrounding me
Falling slowly brick by brick
Lying now in ruins
They've taken the stars
and stuck them up on lampposts.

If you guys want me to write haiku anytime soon, you better write quickly to get rid of the boar. :roll:

Wishing for the dream
Watching castles crumbling down
Hugging hope's quiet

And the fulfillment of dreams
Fright'ning journey: faith

Hope for things that have not come
Faith gives them substance.

Mountains shall sing songs
Wolves and lambs will be dancing
Trees will clap their hands.
Isaiah 55:12 - For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Rain falls,
Darkness, memories descend
Droplets in the night
leaves change, seasons reign
summer, fall each have their day
green, red, gold in blend
stars poke through the night
sky, pinpricks of His glory,
into the crisp air
:hi:

rain is wonderful
but can get old after time
when will the sun shine?
/me loves this thread
Leaves shedding freely,
Red, brown, yellow in color,
Now blowing freely.
Vibrant, these colors,
Painting natural pictures,
Now showing freely.
Snow falling southward,
Winter's beauty now sets in,
Now snowing freely.
Melting paradise,
Fading white hue surroundings,
Beautiful nature.
Blooming, such flowers,
Nature will repeat again,
Endless, such beauty.
Leaves shedding freely,
These colors show once again,
Now shining freely.
Truly excellent, Lady Padme! :thumbsup2:

Thank you!! :grin:

Late November morn,
Breeze cool, sun warm, sky is blue
Distantly, birds call
Fine day, holidays,
Far above, plane's engine drones
Melancholy sound
Ringing telephone
Ringing ears and sleepy eyes
Draining battery
gossamer wings
capture early morning's dew
soft in silent flight
You can call me rain
for all I seem to do is
always fall for you.

all I feel for you.

You've changed everything.
To the pace of my heart, to
the depth of my breath.
Friendship in a box
With silver gold and jewels
Treasured lovingly
life's journey a path
a thread of time intertwined
dreams crushed, then refined
Elona - Yes. Exactly. Do that. *smile*
Brandon - I really like that one.

heart quiet thunder
fairy scupture moonlight mist
candle frozen flame

watch onreyness melts
Solitary Time
Withdrawal... Introspection
Connections Crumble
Fearing Exposure
No Vulnerability
Pride can topple life
Toddler throws the bread
Ducks rush, fly, quack, bite, run
Sheer chaos ensues
:beret:
That's so cool, Ruby! Caedon and I go feeding the seagulls sometimes, and he's absolutely hysterically adorable!!
He'll get the bread and say, "catch, bood" and then move his arm as if he's trying to throw the bread up in the air, but he doesn't let go soon enough, and it lands on the grass. And then once they all land, he chases them until they start to fly away. It's awesome!
Who accompanied you on your duck-feeding adventure?
Catch, bood! Loooooook! Eat b'ead!
'mon! He[r]e bood. 'mon! I feed bood. :-)
'mere, bood! Bye-bye bood!

Okay, I'm totally threadjacking the haiku thread, but it's way too cute not to tell. ;)
I met up with my good friend Aurora and her little 2 yr old daughter (Bethany) yesterday for coffee and a chat, but Aurora had also stuck a loaf of bread in the car "just in case". (There's a big park just a few blocks from where we were meeting.) So we're almost done with our coffee, and Bethany starts getting a tad impatient and saying "Le's GO mommy" and "Ah done". *lol* So we get to the park and she's completely enamored by the ducks, and when Aurora pulled out the bread, you should have seen the delighted smile on her little face! She starts tossing bread just a couple feet from her, and of course all the ducks come waddling up out of the water to eat. Bethany started giggling at all their goofy noises, and how they were pecking at each other when another duck displeased them by getting the bread first. Then - I'm still not exactly sure how it happened, but I think she just got all excited and accidentally threw half a piece of bread - there was suddenly utter chaos! Squawking, and pecking, and feathers flying and........ Bethany was laughing. That completely out of control, abandoned laughter that only toddlers get. And then she was jumping up and down on the sidewalk, with her hand up in the air to her mom to take another piece of bread, and yelling "Again, mama! AGAIN!" This time she threw the entire piece of bread at them, and..... *happy sigh* It was lovely. I love childish delight. Some thrills you can only have at age two, I guess. But I was able to sort of re-live it with her, and.... I really, really needed that yesterday.
Silly, I suppose, but it was my own hug from God. :)

Yooper,
It's something that folk here on GP got me started doing a few years ago.
The form most of us practice is done in three lines--the first and the third have words that total five syllables, while the middle line totals seven.
Practice enough, and you can almost do haiku on demand.
---------------------
It's five syllables
Followed with seven in words
That end with five more

The Hailku haiku! :)

That sure makes a lot more sense than all the stuff I got on it from Wiki... love Wiki, but talk about information overload...
ja, I tried searching stuff when i started writing haiku.
Some point to haiku focusing on aspects of nature-such as the cherry blossom.
Some purists/snobs may quibble over the vowel length in English (longer) as opposed to that found in Japanese. I'm not sure if that's where/why some mention has been made of 3-5-3 syllable structure, rather than 5-7-5.
Anyway, enjoy!

"The Siren"
her beauty unmatched
her song soaring high and far
thank God for earplugs!
Cold dawn, frozen night
Frost descends, winter intends
Night, day, crowned in white
Blue goo, but who knew
Not a Pink song, a question
Without making sense
So, did she dump you?
She's just not that into you
So get over it!

the flower of spring
Along river's edge
Water glistens,shimmers, gleams
Springtime at sunset
Haiku not for you?
Limerick, meter, and rhyme
What's your cup of tea?
_I'm_ a cup of tea! :hyper:
And btw, I like the cherry blossom haiku. :)
:beret:
Droplets from the sky
Clean clouds hanging out to dry
Rainbows dripping down
Luciernagas son
brillantes en la noche.
Esperanza dan.
(Lightning bugs are
brilliant in the night.
They give hope.)
I like it, Adina! Makes me think of a certain trip to Oklahoma. *smile*
:beret:
cool air, dawn's reprise
a March day of spring surprise
betides, Ides, divides
Family tragedy
Awakening true friendships
Cemented with prayer
I will rest my ear
Directly above your heart
And not miss a beat.
Gaze into my eyes
And see all the reflections
Of my love for you
Ohhh nice!
wonder who he was thinking about...someone needs to investigate the investigator...

Very nice indeed! Hmmm.... *wonders if "she" has raven hair* :freaky2:
:beret:
Woohoo! And you got a hug, too!
:freaky2:
Thanks, Ladies!
----------------------------
Eyes are pools of light,
Desire reflected anew
Of my love for you
:o
Investigator
Requests investigation
Concerning himself
The love in my heart
and the joy inside my eyes,
entirely yours.
Dark brown eyes sparkle
Raven hair, cascading down
Sable tresses shine
The breeze of sunset
As the sun bids day adieu,
Moonlight takes over
Your heartbeat and mine
seem to share a frequency
that is only ours.
pockets of flowers
dot the green hillsides of spring
pastels, golds, on green
I like! :thumbsup2:
:beret:
Thanks! That one came from driving close to home, on my normal beaten highway path.

Listening
So understanding
Perceptive
Brilliant shadows
By the light of the full moon
Reveals, conceals, hides
Questions arising
Elusive answers hiding
What is the question?
Hmmm...

How can I answer a question that I have never heard?

Back on topic...
Destroying all things
Metamorphosis begins
Butterflies emerge
One warm summer night,
Lightning, thunder clears the air
Stars left to gaze on
Just friends are we
Perhaps never to become
Anything further

:like:
Spring is in the air
Bluer skies and cleaner air
Twitterpatedness
All is wrapped up into that last line...
hmmm....
More than a fortnight
No haiku, blue, new, that grew
Poet's thoughts unfold
B-B-Q pork rinds
Spicy, crunchy and munchy,
Just not for breakfast
:(
The perfect ending
Long sleepy conversations
Converting to dreams
Hugs are as cocoons;
warm, safe until time to leave
created anew.

Investigation?
My life doesn't have drama.
Move along, people...
Taco,
I tried not to put too many two-syllable-names in my haiku, as even the second verse is limited to seven syllables.
I can always investigate you with another poster already mentioned in the haiku..I thnk there's enough evideence floating around the website to investiagte at least you and one other poster for a number of posts..........

No drama.
A 3-5-3 haiku to refute investigation implications?
Hmmm...

:laughhard: :laughhard: :laughhard:
*Hugs* the rainbow taco :D
That was classic, Sir John! :highfive:
:beret:
Oh my.
3-5-3
Intentionally
Refuting
Denial comes first
New investigation up

This is a Tanku, not a Haiku.
Tanku berry much. ;)
All of you,
either tanku or haiku
are nutsos!
God can do
what we can not
comforting
Chel points out
Error in my ways
Tank u Chel
Denial River
Diving board: consent
Jump in. Water's fine!
the hint of coolness
in the hours before the dawn
refresh, give fresh start
red orb of sunrise,
and shadowed globe of moonlight,
ascends, descends, flight
wonderings... what ifs...
sometimes we just do not know
trust is often hard
Investigations
Guilty and the Innocent
So, which one are you?
Innocent, of course! :cool:
:beret:
Twitter, tweet, text, blog
Twenty-first century stuff
Anachronism
rainbow taco now
not the only names in town
investigations
Haze in the green hills
Summer dulls nature's backdrop
Crows hop on the ground
Delicate power
Incomparable blossoms
Cherry blossoms bright
Which of you will be
The next to post a haiku
Someone besides John?
if i knew the rules for haiku i would attempt one.
but alas high school was some time ago.
Lady Heather sees
five sylables, then seven
Then five more, again
:waving:
First stab at haiku
Will it make sense to someone
I guess we will see
Friday afternoon
Want to be already home
3 more hours to wait
Sleepy at the desk
Nothing much pressing newswise
I'll investigate
massive orb of night
lights reflections of the day
transfers it to night
slicing through the sky
darkness suddenly alive
lightning wakes the night

Very good!
John :waving:
Thank you. :teeth:

Chel's string of men: some?
A few, lot, a multitude?
Wooby knows details

Head tilted way back,
eyes squinted, voice sweet, sincere...
Twinkle little star!
Lights in tones of three
Sunlight reflected thru clouds
Water sparkles below
At the close of day
River's dark shadows extends
In the west, sun sets
Mel, succulent peach,
Seth, Yoop, Latte Loverboy?
Whom will cliam the fruit?
A haiku about people and their smartphones:
Brakes locked, tires squealing
Death avoided by an inch
Dude never noticed
Girl on a swing set
"Daddy, push me higher please!"
But he is texting
Talking to someone
But he keeps checking phone texts
Is he even here?
More of the same:
I don't know that one
I'll ask my phone, it knows all
I cannot not ask
Grandma's funeral
Last "respects" take second place
To remote friend's chat
