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 :

Jumping out at me
From behind a tree is just
Cheap ambush. Loathe it.

And ultimatums?
Maybe from a two-year-old.
After that? Not cute.

Now, back to Haikus
And one giant marathon
Pre: "The Walking Dead"

When your laptop dies
Do you accept it, or toss
It out the window?

Window for me but
Not sure how to retrieve all
That I lost. Fitting...

Well, I have been known
To throw laptops at the wall
But that did not help

True, but the sound of
Laptops hitting lawns and walls
Can be cathartic

My lovely red Dell
Survived a wall fling-and-smash
I'll never know how

Still works, just cranky
I'd expect so much worse though
After my tantrum

Yeah, me and machines
We don't get along too well
I'm too impatient

If they gain sentience
I'll be the first to be crushed
They'll get their revenge

Guys! How are you so good at these?!? Your haikus are so smooth and make so much sense!

I am jealous yes
Wish I had writing prowess
Settle for junk instead!

Lyrics for a song
I love will be next after

Hey, Jen, yours are great
Some folks don't get it, some do
You certainly do

I love writing poems
And the counting gets easy
The more you practice

Hey, Elle, are you hurt?
Why do you need a bandaid?
Have you cut yourself?

For some it’s easy
Poetry rolls off the tongue
Not so much for me!


Trees are changing now
Farewell green, hello brown, red
Throw orange in too!

Doctor told me hey
Inject yourself everyday
Gaining holes, not help

Doctors say it’s ok
But what if it’s not, falls on
Deaf ears everyday


Oh, my sweet dentist
Lets me listen to music
True, he’s a good dude!

Nope, I’m not a kid
We all have our fears and doubts
Don’t judge me, what’s yours?

With some great lyrics!

I saw Mel on picks
And knew it would be coming
Just that, nothing else

The usual thing
Not one post is acknowledged
Just fantasy blurb

So Mel, toot your horn
Bang your drum, blow your trumpet
We know it's just fun

Ha, Mix, that's funny,
Your call is important, so
Just hold the line please

I hope you got through
To a human, not a bot,
And BT did their job
