The Haiku Thread

[Michael Jewels]

The old haiku thread
It’s really been gone this long?
Time flies, does it not?

 

[Volker Kirstein]

If they only knew
They would burn me at the stake
Or call me a god

 

[elgecko]

Five long years have passed
Haikus have gone neglected
Risen from ashes

 

[Hot Rats]

Geez man, I don't know
Does another thread exist?
More recent Haiku

 

[Tom Bomb]

Hail Mary Willis

given the big don't argue

and don't come Monday
​

 

[geeza]

There once was a man
Who was NOT from Nantucket
nor Martha's Vinyard

 

[Tom Bomb]

The X Factor game:

a Night of the Long Knives

for luckless talent

[Boogiepop]

If life transcends death
Then I shall seek for you there.
If not, then there too.

--James S. A. Corey

 

[Michael Jewels]

The oranges come
All the way from China
Suzanne feeds them to you.

I thought of this song the other day after many years.
What lyrics!
Written by, Leonard Cohen

Home from my gig now

Leftover spaghetti, yes?

So very yummy

 

[Volker Kirstein]

I don't care anymore
We're all going to die
Idiocy runneth rampant

Doth not a haiku make
Deal with it

EDIT - This is a defense of leaving traditional/formal structure by the wayside, not as a commentary on others' works.

One word: tundra ​

 

[Michael Jewels]

It’s a Friday night
Everything is alright
On the haiku thread.

 

[Tom Bomb]

Love a summer swallow

like a shag

honor rock
​

 

[Tom Bomb]

A haiku a day

keeps psychologists away -

Sometime summertime ​

​

 

[5StringBlues]

Dude wants a tiger

Tiger wants a Frosted Flake


Breakfast time is now

 

[Tom Bomb]

Wurst - first pasta post

epochs apocalyptic

canoodle attune

​

 

[Michael Jewels]

I dance upon glass.
Most of the time it’s broken.
Red shoe diaries.
