Another Thread, "Poet’s Corner & Other Random Jive Turkeys" by RobertCloud, inspired me to give this a try. Okay folks, If you’re feeling a little creative, why not give Haiku a shot? For those who are unfamiliar with Haiku – it is a Japanese form of poetry that follows a strict pattern: three lines (no more, no less) with the first line having exactly five syllables (syllables, not words!), the second line seven syllables and the third line five syllables. Although I’ve never been big on writing poetry in general, I’ve always like the Haiku. It forces you to discard all the clutter and get to the point in the matter. It can be tricky but fun (almost like solving a puzzle) trying to fit what you want to get across into the rigid scheme. Write about any topic you want to. Your Haiku can be funny or profound, silly, sappy, sweet, gross, insightful, thoughtful or whatever. There are no limits. I look forward to reading other’s Haiku. Here are six Haiku I have written (a couple a while back while taking a writing class, the others more recently). Two are repeats from the earlier thread. I like to title my Haiku but that doesn’t mean you have to. The Department of Motor Vehicles Endless Tedium Waiting at the DMV I abandon hope Taxi Driver – Night Shift Skimming through hushed streets Philosopher of the Night Smoke and Coffee Thoughts Contrary I sleep facing west Nocturnal and left handed I am contrary Unpopular Culture Donald and Rosie Leave me the fuck out of it I don’t give a shit Moderator Eleven Personal attacks Moderator eleven Swoops in like a hawk Hairball (I want to thank my cat for providing the inspiration for this one) Plod plod plod plod squish Half awake in the morning Stepped in a hairball

A Contented Sigh The night, like velvet wrapped tight, a cloak gathered up. Sounds come, crickets, frogs. Pleasure, drowning on symphony composed for us. Laughing, loving...time ...to float, to give of ourselves, diving, swimming on till crashing, spinning. Energies entwined curling, flowing, swirling, slow. A heartbeat clearly thuds, melting again finding the edges, jumping ledge to ledge to cliff. Dawn from the summit sun, brilliant, blazing, peaking. We fly, soaring high once more to find you- me-we are filled together, each apart but whole. A Contended Sigh. Peace, languid, soft, in bloom. Dreams until the night. Master Fire

Haiku for misguided Dominants: 1. You say "Kneel now, bitch!" Please, not on a first date, Sir. Remember yourself. 2. Total stranger say: "You are my latex princess" Be gone - rude weirdo. - Susan

There are some real good ones here. I particularly like MasterFireMaam’s: quote: The night, like velvet wrapped tight, a cloak gathered up. Sounds come, crickets, frogs. It creates a mood which is what I think the best Haiku’s do, and it reminds me of nights at my Grandfather’s cabin in the woods when I was growing up. I also like Lorelei115's: quote: Raven in winter A solitary darkness Laughing at the white and spankmepink11's: quote: Echos in the night Were you ever really there? All circuits busy Here’s another one from me: The Old Artist The old artist sits Master of color and light His hand reveals truth
