Alrighty then, literate masses ahoy.

Here is the chance to pen your own haiku.

They can be deep or irreverent, insightful or shallow, serious or humorous.

The convention is 5-7-5, however this really only applies to haiku written in Japanese. There is still much conjecture over the correct convention for English.

However, for this thread we will use the 5-7-5 convention where possible, artistic licence is allowed.

Please, do not disparage the attempts of others, if you have something to add constructively, then please do so. If you have nothing but derision, then kindly find another thread.

Let the games begin...................
 
Off topic screams,
Sounds of lava bubbling,
Another foolish argument.
 
Sweating desert despot.
Watch the steely skies?
Eagles await vindication!
 
Up all night again.
"I'll just finish one last turn..."
Civilization!
 
Coffee, beer, coffee,
Beer, coffee, beer, and again
Never stop drinking.

:crazyeye:
 
More panzers rumble!
You have war weariness? Never!
Must capture Kiev!
 
Cool spring air rushes
Over my hooded head as I
Run to my warm home.


Suck? I know, it has 8 in the middle. Here's another:

Sweet guitar riffs sing
As I wander through the spring
Singing a sad tune


I wanted 'melody' as the last line of that one, but it would have been six. :p

Anger causes hate
Hate causes despair so why
Does everyone hate?


Don't like that one. I hate having broken lines like that. :o

Clacking of keyboards
As I sing out my soul now
To the great unknown


That one seems good. Hopefully no one misinterprets it...:mischief:

Lights flash in the sky
As the stars cry for their loss
Never forgotten


Guess. :(

This is the last now
For I have to go do work
I shall return soon!


Self-explanatory. ;) :D
 
OT patriotic parping,
It becomes the greatest bore,
Heard it before!
 
My neighbor is loud
He likes music with much bass
plays it at midnight!

I want to kill him
I want to shove that speaker
Right up his (censor)
 
Troll or spam?
Which shall you choose now?
AoA awaits, regardless!
 
A fine poem,
From the dictator of Belgium,
Wonders never cease!
