Haiku Instead?

[GinandTonic]

The haiku must be -

Illumination
Of the moments truth
Insightful snapshot

Rather than -

Any old bollox
In correct pentamiter
(Unless it's funny)

 

[BasketCase]

True enlightenment
is not possible, so just
lounge in Off-Topic

 

[Swedishguy]

Juggle while you can,
or if you cannot, do not
worry about it.

 

[Chairman Meow]

Body in motion
Tends to remain in motion.
Body at rest rests.

To move an object
Change in momentum per time
Is what the force is.

Every action
Has an equal reaction
In opposite way.

Newton's laws still work,
Even though they're very old,
If the speed is small.

 

[Azash]

Is there nothing there?
Are we here, or am just I?
Oh, come clarity..

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Classical I feel
like Cicero or Ceasar
of ancient times past
I find myself lost
when I say those latin words
in our modern time

they come from Cato
who wore the older man's clothes
though never heard Joel
spoke he did, in Rome
before the senate, as one
ending always thus

Ceterum censeo,
Carthago delenda est

but is it Haiku?

 

[warpus]

All my Haikus suck
They have too many syllables
I suck at this !@#$

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

If someone can tell
what style my post is in?
at six-hundred six

 

[Taliesin]

It seems familiar--
Do I dare to pin it down?
Time and care are owed.



But not ancient form--
Like English imitators,
It but mocks the style.

At least I think that's what you're getting at.

 

[The Yankee]

Plaxico Burress
And Terrell Owens, too, for
Fantasy winnings

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

It seems familiar--
Do I dare to pin it down?

It but mocks the style.

from canons past
does poetry oft borrow
such is the case here

 

[Taliesin]

Pierrot sadly sighs,
"Shall we go then, you and I?"
Then turns, loosens, dies.

 

[Taliesin]

Paradise Lost:

A science fiction
To dramatise Satan's ways,
And justify God's.

 

[Perfection]

I am quite tired
so this post is gonna suck
told you so, butthead

 

[Chairman Meow]

Homework shall be done
In electrodynamics,
If I'm not lazy.

 

[Taliesin]

"x is y plus z"--
Can't, if each base is the same
And greater than two.

 

[Swedishguy]

I like my Kanto
scenario, because it is
so... Pokémon-like!

 

[Algan]

Algan's law

As the thread length grows
the probability of
Pokemon is one

"waka waka wa-
ka waka waka waka
waka wa" - Pacman

 

[GinandTonic]

"x is y plus z"--
Can't, if each base is the same
And greater than two.

Digressing screen says
All your base are belong
to us. Confusing.
