Haiku Instead?

[illram]

haikus were fun stuff
until smartypants arrived
and ruined it, pfffft

 

[Borachio]

counting morae hard
let's say I like free-form style
and leave it at that

 

[H4run]

you can't leave
it at that
that is crazy

 

[Joecoolyo]

Well then, I dunno
What to say in my haiku
Uh, er, hm, huh, eh

 

[cardgame]

Masterful work, Joe
I don't know what to say, but
life, uh, uh, finds a way

 

[cybrxkhan]

Confucius says:
Learn from these fake but wise words
We Asians said not:


The most profound
Can be found in the simple:
The way of the Tao.

 

[Borachio]

hi, ku, how are you?
turned out nice today, you think?
see you later, then

 

[Tergiversater]

Stank, heavy breathing, fear
Shudder, taste of blood, cancer
I'm not ready for this

 

[Borachio]

after leaking noise
i'm a chatterbox, she said
she wasn't kidding

 

[warpus]

Nature is silly
and a big waste of our time.
Death to all the whales.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Thirteen steps along
Broken ice had refrozen--
Unlucky fellow

 

[Catharsis]

Syllables matter?
Not so! Morae are the thing
That define haiku.

If one is mora,
And two, moras or morae,
Seventeen's morass.

 

[Tergiversater]

The prince of Denmark
Had a 'bee' in his sonnet
And its sting was death.

A brief impression,
The tiniest glimpse of your eyes.
Deep pits of brown walls.

Thoughts in succession.
Some memories I despise,
Crying for my heart.

Hang on my question.
Of a duel you were the prize,
And the judge as well.

Held back confessions.
Silent I wear my disguise,
A heart is broken.

Unseen discretion,
I watch you against advice.
Longing for those eyes.
