Haiku is a short form of Japanese poems (shorter than *tanka). Haiku are three lines long. The first line has five syllables, the 2nd seven, and the 3rd line five syllables again.

A haiku has to contain kigo, a word that expresses a season. Each kigo represents specific season, for example, a bush warbler represents spring and a gold fish represents summer. ~ JTB Illustrated Guide to Japan: Culture and Tradition.

Okay. Dont ask me what a bush warbler is. lol.

Anyway, to liven up the forum how about we create our own haiku for everyone to read. Put what you want in it. You dont necessarily have to put a season term in it but do make it funny or emotional!

Haiku are fun, yes.
Tanuki bring them to me
We laugh together.


Heh. I tried. let's see what you you can come up with!




*tanka~ a type of short poem unique to Japan, consisting of the 5, 7, 5, 7 and 7 syllabic structure.

Ok lets see what I can come up with on the spot here..

Reading can be fun.
Everyone avoid Redrum.
Lets learn how to drum.


Well that didn't make much sense really... Lol. Rerum is from the Shining in case anyone was windering. It's murder spelled backwards.

Laughing and sweet song
Fills the world with melody
Created with love.

Doesn't make much sense, though ^^;;

HAHAhaha. I can sooo relate with the cockatiel. Though my birdies havent exhibited any intelligence I do have to say that my Budgie "Blue" is loud. ALL DAY LONG! I wish there were birdie muzzles sometimes.

Blue, I adore you.
Though you chirp and squeak all day
Your presence is nice. 3nodding

Flame
Defiant and proud
Reach to the sky and destroy
What you love and hate

Or
Moth
Fluttering silent
Round the flames that bring on death
Seeking the light's love

I saw him today
alone atop the bridge rail
now nolonger alone


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His saddened face shines
smile brighter than the sun
his eyes have met mine


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We stand there now still
clouds floating above our heads
two friends togeather

A newborn child
cradles in my arms, it's small,
innocent face smling.

inside me i feel strange.
Anger, hate, sadness, sorrow,
all seem to melt away.

Perhaps, when my own child
is born into this world, I
shall feel this once again.
