The Haiku Thread

All the game threads. (It's only teenage wasteland.)

Two. Two is enough.
Any more would be too many.
And vainglorious.

I went to the park
And had a walk by the lake
The monkeys were out
They call me Mr Celsius!

there's no monkeys nearby
at the lake which I walk by
on land or sky

A Haiku to Tubeswell
Written in his style:

Does it not occur to you
That the skill and pleasure of writing a Haiku
Is limiting it to seventeen sylables

Five-seven-five
Otherwise, it is like playing cricket
Or whatever silly sports you play

In NZ, without any rules
Anarchy, rather than skill.

cricket is truly
a demanding game in skill
More fun when playing

than when watching it
unless you have all day, which
is all very well

And umpires do call
the shots as they do see them
no matter what dude

To Everyone,

I like your haikus
And I find that often it's
Hard to make that last line fit in five syllables, you know?
Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion....you must first set yourself on fire.

Very good, Tubeswell

And now, the desire. :=D:

If the last line's long
And you can't make it shorter
Start a new haiku

The part that fits not
Into the first haiku, can
Begin the second

MM Dandy
The plus signs in last line
do not conform

With the required
count of syllables M8
Keep on trying

Misunderstanding.
The "plusses" are all silent
Like the "K" in "fish". :lol:

Spoken aloud
'plusses' or 'ands' surely do
a phoneme make.

What is that sound
if not a syllable then?
Explain yourself.

@ MM Dandy
You put it succinctly
1 + 1 is 2

@ K L A 2
I see the benefit now
of haiku-ing here

Stuck in my P Js
This gloomy wet winter day
with very sore balls

I googled a script
To understand why it hurts

Now that you know all
Why, where and how it was done,
Does it ease the pain? :wink:

The pain is less now
But the weather is still bad
So I work on amps

Which is very cool
When recuperating from
genital trauma

Now that you know this
I trust the picture portrayed
is tolerable

The body will heal.
The pain will be forgotten
The amps will remain.
