Haiku thread!

Gwillaker · #1 06-26-2004, 05:39 PM

I've stolen this idea from another message board. Its really cool! You type your own haiku and post it here! For those of you not familiar with this, a haiku is basically a Japanese poem with 3 lines. Theres 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second and 5 in the third.

Here's an example:

Looking out for love
lindsey Buckingham is cool
he has curly hair

Simple enough!

Here's another:

Lindsey plays guitar,
writes angry songs for Stevie
they are both good friends

Edit: Theres no "e" in curley

This thread is too hard
Poems take time and effort...
Just this took 10 min.

That was cool

But seriously, dont think about it too much. Keep it simple!

I make **** poems
I do this because I'm bored
it dont even rhyme

The hell with all this
the thread fell flat on its face
I must leave it now

There's two kinds of threads:
Winner threads and loser threads.
Haikus are flying.

The problem with this thread:
Haikus are profound
Most thoughts are fleeting

Niemand die er iets van snapt
Verder kom ik niet.

De Portugezen zijn goed
Oranje naar huis

Hey, I know you just said some CRAP about the Portuguese. Of course you know this means war.

Eh, you guys are sore for getting your asses kicked the other day, eh? Where is my friend Gerald, by the way.

Tears flood Amsterdam
That ball was round
But it held a grudge

Mari · #14 07-01-2004, 02:05 PM

Obviously not here
Maybe he dislikes Haikus
I guess I like them

How about some depressing haiku's...

Is life some cruel joke?
to have it taken away
is there any point?

Hear the sound of death
gunshot breaking the silence
feel your life ending...

A sickening sound
drive-by shooting in progress
bullets pierce your flesh

Feel the blade cut you
a knife strikes you from behind
can this be the end?

Feeling your blood spill
a cold, hard blade has cut you
you're about to die

I rip off your head
now I will **** down your neck
this must be your fate

I call these my heavy metal haiku's. Not too wishy-washy, but very "doomy"
