Haiku #02

[I Am Blessed 24]

It is raining very hard
Raindrops play jump rope with windshield wipers
The sun will be out soon

 

[SaggyWoman]

Haiku Thread again
Where did the other one go?
I am lost again.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Kittens looking out the window
Dogs walking by with loud viscious growls
Now where are those kittens

 

[SaggyWoman]

5 syllables first
7 syllables second
5 syllables last.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

I thought it was:

5 words

[SaggyWoman]

I thought it was syllables.

Where is Standing firm when you need him!

I love the internet. Here it goes:

Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. Usually they use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry! Check out some Haiku at Haiku Salon (see Lesson 2 for the link).

Flames dancing in fire
Roasting marshmallows outside
Winter will come soon

Clear, brilliant blue sky,
Gold, red, and orange leaves make
Window mosaics.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

He found the windshield
Made snowflake-like designs
Jack Frost is his name

 

[SaggyWoman]

I am hungry now.
What can I snack on quickly
And then go to bed?

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

The wind is blowing
The leaves are dancing around
Showing God's designs

 

[SaggyWoman]

Raindrops keep falling
On my head. That doesn't mean
They are too big now.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Birthday is done now
Another year older too
Birthday cake was good

 

[SaggyWoman]

Standing firm in Christ
Must be arguing a lot
No more Haiku now.

 

[Gwen]

We must have haiku!
This thread should not die because
It is so much fun!

I am so surprised

Whoop te do tonight.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

Where have posters gone
Haiku must be out of date
'Tis a shame for sure

Other threads need us
We have so much to share too
We must preach the Word.
