Subject: Write A Haiku

Posted by: UmberWunFayun
Date: Aug 13 18

Haiku is a beautiful form of Japanese poetry, where the feelings evoked by the words are the most important thing. Traditionally containing references to nature, weather, or the elements, nowadays a modern haiku can have any subject, as long as it follows the strict rhythm of three lines, containing 5, 7, and 5 syllables for a total of 17. Showcase your creative side, let out the poet within, and Impress us all with your writing skills! To start you off, here's my favourite modern haiku :

Playing in my head last night
Oh, I wonder why?!?

Oh why must it rain so?
I have a heap of damp dogs.
I'm glad I can't smell.

Masses of happy, capering children
race and shriek with abandon in the sun -
What time is it? - Recess

Anne, your Haiku is
So lovely, but the metre
Is 5-7-5

A rock in my stomach and
No more meat for me

You know, everything
Is fun for awhile, until
It's just not. I'm out.

I hate when friends fight
Disappearing into mist
Really helps none

Oh look, it’s Autumn
Snuck up on me this year y’all
But here comes Dark Sky

Look at the monsters
Running here and there, amok
Oh wait, it’s just kids!


Trick or treat they say
I’ve never smelled a foot before
Guess I’ll give candy…


Here come skeletons
Gutless, hollow skeletons
No muscles yet strong


Zombies come for flesh
Brains will suffice, if I may
Have a small morsel?


It’s confession time
I want to be a werewolf
But I need my sleep

Jen, you are so smart
Silly spats over nothing
Are such a sad waste

Your poems are great
And I know just how you feel
Wanting more sleep zzzzzzzz
