No! You come again
too late to join the party.
Can you still haiku?

A virtual jaunt
musing syllabic breezes
Haiku, Hawaii

Here's one for an honest look in the mirror -

mildly amusing
she of the middling talent
but good attitude

it's hard to stop once you start - especially when you're feeling like an idiot

Hi Perks,

You have more talent than you give yourself credit.

You came close to creating a great haiku in one of your posts.

Mixed up baker swaps

red pepper for cinnamon

Cajun apple pie :idea:

Thanks for that! Totally frustrating morning, but the day wasn't a total loss. That pie is much better as a poem then it was a dessert.

See, you almost haiku'd again!

I'm eating my words
because my saccharine poems
are just desserts

All the news is bad,
it's so hard to find the good--
time to turn it off.

Haiku cop-out

This is the first line
The second line follows it
Finally, the third.

(yes, I'm ashamed)

I like it

You've kept the poem's main focus "between the lines". Shamefully clever of you :poke:

Counting syllables
I lose track of my message
so I say nothing.

A summer in France
Mountains, meadows, heart renewed.
Home will be good too.

scfirenice · Aug 1, 2005

Paprika,
Wow, that was good. I'm going to post my first ever one of these things, and I have to follow you

On a nurse at Work

Sometimes I like to be here
They have DSL
My work ethic lost again.

Thank you for honoring us with your very first haiku. :hooray:

You created a poem with a 7-5-7 syllable pattern. It needs to be 5-7-5. No biggie, it's an easy fix :idea:

ah, thank you. I had forgotten the pattern. Yours is better!

Whispers of white clouds
dispersing through the sky like
cotton candy dreams.

William Haskins · Aug 1, 2005

what sad lives they lead
who squander entire lifetimes
wishing themselves dead.

My first Haiku, in honor of the DVD that I watched tonite:

A boy with scissors
left on his hands by mistake
Tim Burton is God

Eyes hurt from the screen
But it's noontime in Beijing
Long flights without sleep

sunsets come too soon

On Reincarnation

A longing to be
assured of my future lives
for peace in this one
