Haiku

[Rome]

The ocean is huge
And for sure it is gorgeous
Comprised of water

Rome

 

[OnTheBlitz]

roses are not red
violets are certainly dead
time to till gardens

 

[onwardjames]

Where did the time go
Seems yesterday I was young
Cold hands grab my heart

 

[harman/kardon]

misunderstanding
I am you and you are me
no separation

 

[onwardjames]

misunderstanding
I am you and you are me
no separation

For a non-english speaker, (and I think you only know how to write it, not necessarily speak it, am I right Chris?) you sure have a great way with the English language.

I cannot imagine the catastrophe that was ensue if I tried writing a haiku in German. Likely as not, I'd open some parallel dimension.

This one don't conform.
Robin wasn't good at rules.
Too bad he's now gone:

"Red sand between my toes. Summer vacation in outer space. That was a Martian haiku" - Robin Williams

.

Modified Robin's
It now adheres to the rules
Doubt he'd like it though.


Red sand 'tween my toes
Vacation in outer space.
A Martian haiku

in all due modesty
the cost of your fine freedom
less is more for sure

About two weeks ago I talked one and a half hour with AK member "moinau". He and his girlfriend visited me during a stay in Europe. I did a fine job, as André confirmed afterwards in my "Confidence in language skills" thread...it was my very first actual conversation in English...

Sorry, Bella, for this little off topic thing in your wonderful Haiku thread...

Alexa helps me
When I need information
She is always there

The cost of freedom
It is buried in the ground
Lay your body down

Retirement is great
I do not have to answer
To anyone now

 

[yzzaj]

.
I am on a roll
My fingers just can not stop
Typing these haikus

 

[yzzaj]

.
This just might end up
Becoming the longest thread
Ever on AK

 

[onwardjames]

Yes, Bella, thank you for this thread. Didn't realize how much I liked haikus

talking to yourself
they will come take you away

Thank you vinylGirl
This thread is really groovy
Time to play LPs

I talk to the wind
I also talk to myself
Never argue though....

Self shows inward sides
of my narcissistic nature
Hidden mute conceit

please, please, go off topic! These conversations (and haiku entries) are really gems in detritus! I have no rules save 5/7/5, but I’m not a strict enforcer. LOL. Thank you for sharing your story.

not the best multi-quoter, no I’m not even going to try. Thank you guys so much for enjoying this thread. It’s yours. Post as often as you like.

You could start a Tanka thread, vGF.

Will leave the particulars to you, eh?
