One haiku per post. As you can see, we don't always follow that rule. lol

[Legendary_roxy_girL]

yeah, thats the problem.. I don't know what a Haiku is?

btw, my perfume is Haiku, just thought I would share

[B]

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. haha

   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:

rofl! True, I don't write them any other way, and I do prefer them that way. 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:

Why is your haiku

Syllable by syllable

Get counted each time

[B]

*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.

[Legendary_roxy_girL]

im not good with syllabuls...

[Legendary_roxy_girL]

It sits alone there
Desolate without a light
Will you call me please


Guess what that is..  my first one.

[Newsman]

Very good! And, unless I'm mistaken, you are referring to your phone.

Brannon, you need to call Lady Krissa!

[Legendary_roxy_girL]

The winter breaks through
Every leaf surrendering
The ground is covered

for nature's sake

[B]

I like it.

Brannon, you need to call Lady Krissa! 

Like she said, I don't have her number.

was that a *hint *hint.. ??

"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.

Hmmm....interesting. Thanks, CR.

was that a *hint *hint.. ??

lol no, it wasn't meant to be. I figured I needed to acknowledge that he said it or be subjected to further investigation.
