Today I have been Writing things in Haiku verse. What madness is this?

(you know the pattern.... 5 syllables 7 syllables 5 syllables)

BOREDOM Useless day at work Haven't done one blasted thing Wait - did you say beer?

FEAR I saw a movie Clowns killed everyone they could. Stephen King haunts me

SNOW White crystalline slopes Nature's diamonds coat the trees Thunderous silence

QUERY Does anyone else Want to write Haiku poems? Keep me company!

BOREDOM

Useless day at work

Haven't done one blasted thing

Wait - did you say beer?

I saw a movie

Clowns killed everyone they could.

Stephen King haunts me

SNOW

White crystalline slopes

Nature's diamonds coat the trees

Thunderous silence

QUERY

Does anyone else

Want to write Haiku poems?

Keep me company!

FORMATTING

What is the secret

Of this bloody formatting?

Tell me someone, quick!

REGRET

I wish I had not

Started this silly thread now!

It makes me look thick

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Do not regret, for
haiku will shine forth despite
no HTML.

― Archel, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

FAREWELL

Goodbye Anthony!

He says he wants to leave us

But we will be sad

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

FRUSTRATION

What key should I press

Instead of the Enter one

To make it look right?

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

TANKPUS
polar bear within
jade proton blasts from its eyes
aloof, nuclear

― bc, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Open pointy bracket
type 'BR' then close pointy
bracket and voila.

― Archel, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Archel! you are such
a wonderful help to me!
Can't thank you enough!

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

SUPERMARKET Slowly the queue moves
It seems like eternity
Ten items or less

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ten items or less
Is such appalling grammar
Should be 'or fewer'

― Matt, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't write the sign
That's in the supermarket
I only read it

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thank god for Matt (this
is not really a haiku)
oh wait yes it is.

― Archel, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I wanted to post
But realized that I had
nothing good to say

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I drink too much

― Chris, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I drink too much my head hurts i'm going to throw up

― Chris, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The scanner buzzes
The trees outside just sit there
Yay boring Wednesday

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

98 degrees
I want air-conditioning
Christ, it's hot in here

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The summer swelters
My apartment feels like hell
Air conditioning!

The grammar of supermarket signs I

Less or fewer? One must choose grammar or scansion as one's favoured way.

The grammar of Supermarket signs II: The Sequel

Correct or not, the sign must fit the haiku way of five, seven, five.

― Tim Bateman, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The Grammar of Supermarket Signs III: T. S. E.-like, the 'poet' footnotes his own work Archel, why o why
Did I not read your post pre
Posting my own pomes?

― Tim Bateman, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh Tim, remember
to read the whole thread before
posting your reply!

Eating a sandwich
As the clock falls off the wall
And I watch the dog

― Daver, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am so worried!
Did the clock hit the dog when
It fell off the wall?

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sweet forever never
Circumstance dance remember
Oh yeah nice weather

― jel --, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

BLAST OFF
Twelve eleven ten
Nine eight seven six five four
Three two one zero.

― Leee, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

BLAST OFF
It did not take off
You forgot to light the fuse!
Oh well, never mind

― C J, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

perl scripts are tricky
why not use java instead?
because i don't care.

― Sterling Clover, Wednesday, 26 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

two months pass...

Some of these are cool!

I just fell into this place by serendipity.
I've begun a mini portal for haiku some of you might like ...

Taking the afternoon off

No one will notice

of lines in a haiku ?
14 or something ? or did i dream it ?

― piscesboy, Tuesday, 27 August 2002 16:05 (twenty-three years ago)
