The Haiku Thread

[imatfaal]

UKIP Leadership,

are making my dreams come true;

beating themselves up.

[DrP]

beating themselves up?

if that turns you on then you

Miss, are perverted.

Haiku thread has been

resurrected! yay yay yay

we all love Haiku!

It is a powerful thing.

Years ago I owned a nifty little SEIKO Translator that had about 1500 words in English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese Romanji and Kana script. It translated 'hai' as 'lung' and 'ku' as 'phrase' so a haiku is more specifically a lung phrase. i.e. a phrase that can be spoken in one breath. I used a 17 word rule consistently below as that is close to the average number of words that anybody would say in one breath while speaking normally.

 

You can have your magic beans Jack,

your children are hungry and we need the cow back.

 

The lack of just terms and equitable or fair pacts,

expose all crooked beanstalks to concerted attacks.

 

Unless obsessive cycles are stopped in their tracks,

our towns will again be as flat as tacks.

 

You have been too trusting Jack,

your children's futures remain black,

while current problems compound through lack.

 

Struggle earnestly against the pack,

repudiate rights to depreciatingly retract,

as giants fortress lie ripe for sack.

 

For only fair shares of the golden goose Jack,

will save beanstalks and giants from the axe.

 

[dimreepr]

to freeze the moment

in seventeen syllables

is very diffic...

 

Heard this on the goggle-box by Dr John Cooper-Clark and just had to share.

Our virtue, your fault,

acknowledging own fault-lines,

or faith in leader.

The seismometer,

whose fault is these clumsy lies,

to spare us later / to spare us leader.

[Phi for All]

My Haiku rusty.

Sound like bad Tarzan movie,

but no famous yell.

[TheVat]

Ha!

When you feel ready for the big leagues...

A haiku from our cat:

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.
