| failed haiku | a naked man inside me sobs | | 2008-07-17 01:24:32 | | a naked man inside me sobs. clouds full of rain dropsslowly pass by.how it failed as a haiku:a.naked.man.in.side.me.sobs = 7 syllables (suppose to be 5)clouds.full.of.rain.drops = 5 (suppose to be 7 here)slowly.pass.by = 2 (or 3?) syllables only! ( 5 is ideal).by the way, syllable calculation is tricky!so, i relied on this online word and syllable countertrying to fix it by keeping haiku rules right:clouds full of rain drops,a naked man inside me sobs. a rainbow blessing the sky.now (finally) it conforms 5/7/5 format.another version with syllables rule intact:clouds full of rain drops,a naked man inside me sobs. the giant rainbow blessing the sky.. related post: How to Haiku | Simplified | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |

| How to Haiku | simplified | | 2008-07-16 19:11:59 | | What is Haiku (Hai coo)?Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry originating from Japan. It is seventeen-syllable verse form, arranged in three lines of five, seven and five syllables.Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. Usually they use simple words and grammar. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry! Haiku captures the ordinary moments of life.Haiku is an insight into a moment of experience.History of HaikuThe hokku or haiku is a tiny verse form in which japanese poets have been working for hundreds of years. Originally it was the first part of the tanka, a five-line poem, often written by two people as a literary game where one writing 3 lines, the other, 3 lin | | By: Inspirations and Creative Thoughts | | |

| Haiku de Matsuo Bashö: Otoño | | 2008-06-26 12:40:00 | | Lluvias frías
hasta el mono quisiera
un abrigo de paja
¿Con qué voz cantarás
y qué canto araña
en la brisa del otoño?
El sonido de la campana
se expande en la bruma
del alba
Dios está ausente
las hojas muertas se amontonan
todo está desierto
Nada dice
en el canto de la cigarra
que su fin está cerca

| Haiku de Matsuo Bashö: Verano | | 2008-06-24 15:57:00 | | Allí donde el cucú
desapareció
hay una isla
Templo de Suma
oigo las flautas antiguas
desde la sombra de un árbol
Puente suspendido
a las plantas trepadoras
se aferran nuestras vidas
El primer melón
lo cortamos en cuatro
¿o bien en tajadas?
La primavera pasa
lloran los pájaros y
son lágrimas los ojos de los peces
Haiku de Matsuo Bashö, de su especial las cuatro estaciones. Éste representa el Verano.

| Evolution Of Another Perfect Crime! (6 part whodunit haiku for Harry) | | 2008-05-30 00:00:00 | | Egg man takes a toke
Precariously balanced
At the edge of wall
Blurry perception
Wobbled to the cobbled floor
Had a smashing time!
Accident or design?
Drug Induced or suicide?
Fell or pushed to his death?
Kings men on horses
At the scene of the crime to
Piece it together
Cracking yolks about
How Humpty was pushed to fall
Didn't fit at all!
'Flyaway Bird' Peter
Knows more than he's letting on
Cuckoo's nest now empty!
Inspired by the comments of Harry, (badmalthus), on another 'whodunit? haiku'! cheers mate!

| HAIKU - SPRING | | 2008-03-22 00:00:00 | | Where has all the love gone?
Frozen by your icy feelings
I await SPRING....
Last flight of dark steps
Cold days - seem far and distant
I knock on SPRINGS door
Skeins of mauve and peach
weave gaudy braids on sky, land
first footsteps of SPRING
Sun-drenched petunias
revel in first notes of SPRING
life is beautiful! | | By: GotPoetry - News for Poets. Place to Write. | | |
