English freestyle Haiku thread
I guess that most people here have encountered Haiku's in their path to J-knowledge :) It is a bit touchy subject as haiku's very often are not acknowledged as a form of poetry in the western countries. Apart from that a whole english haiku writing culture emerged in the early 20th century, followers of which are still on it and there are lots of them...
Anyway, everyone can try writing a haiku, though it's more complicated than it may seem at the 1st look... Here are the basic rules a beginner haiku author must follow: -the whole haiku must consist of not more than 18 syllables -there must not be more than 3 lines per haiku -haiku is not a report or description of surroundings, usage of irony and juicy metaphors is highly welcome. So, as this is a freestyle Haiku thread, none of your personal haiku collection should be posted. Only the feelings and thoughts that are too big to fit in your head at the present time should be written here. Good luck! :) |

:D sitting on the chair watching ex laughing loudly makes me laugh as well |
lost my breath while laughing

pats ex on the head
to laugh is to feel joy (one syllable missing XD) do not ever lose it. |
got blinded by the view
as i opened my eyes now i can't see anything... but you... i made that one extra syllable to make it up for you, Kitski! though this was not a haiku anymore... :P |
watching in exs eyes
am i blocking the sun now smiles kindly to ex |
head as heavy as stone
lips won't make a smile desperation and thrill |
looking in the sky
dreaming of a green grass land wanting to be saved |
raindrops splashing against the window
fear in their eyes peace |
sorrow in my heart
what is happening to me i need to go now |
Hitler,Gengis Khan
Me,you Everybody wants to rule the world Napoleon,Bush Me,you Everybody wants to rule the world |
looks at her walking away
opening the mouth to say STOP! silence |
I love musashi!
she is my special person forever bonded!:rheart: |

i hear the people shouting the simple truth just died we are all liars |
trapped again in this box
a box what i call plain work evening come sooner |
breaking walls
my fists are bleeding a ray of light |
under the starry sky
warm breeze welcomes me is this summer sign? |
Unable to breathe,
Your eyes into mine, Your indescribable love. |
Quote:
spitting the blood aching fists to fight is to lose |
nervous sweaty palms
another glance your way dare I approach you? Baaaaaaaaaaaaaah Its hard to come up with something that creates atmosphere in so few words!!! |
Minority against majority
Maniac madness invasion Chaos unleashed Only one shall win |
that's the whole point ^^

but you still did not answer the question "why?" :p Quote:
sounds kind of strange, doesn't it? feels like it eed to be continued, though in the same time everything's said in these 3 lines... hmm... i guess that's a part of the Haiku philosophy... |
Yggdrazzil is a name I read in a comic called Storm when i was ..10..my mum gave me that comic when I was sick :) When I got in touch with my first internet application (being the chatprogram that came along with command & conquer, called westwood chat) I picked that username, and I have used it ever since :D It's also the name of practically any character I make in a game, if the name length is supported.
