The Haiku Thread

[EOTFOFYL]

"One more turn" I said,
vowing revenge on Gandhi
as nukes start flying.

 

[Jordan_Weeberson]

Collecting the clues
Resolving the mystery
You're a Supah Star!

 

[Teddy]

Honey and sucrose
Cinnamon and Caramel
Hell for the taste buds

 

[Teddy]

Destruction and pain
Betrayal and dancing blood
Fill all my passions

 

[Teddy]

Water and Water
Water, water and water
Water and Water

 

[EOTFOFYL]

A summoning rite
to bring a useless goddess.
She's not quite happy.

 

[AfterMidnightMoon]

Oh, the great Aqua
To make her cry is a sin
Don't do it again

 

[Garakuta]

Keeping screws afloat,
on an unclear sea of doubt.
A dusty lighthouse.

While they dance around,
the hounding mist chokes my throat.
A well-known misstep.

And while I step back,
the lighthouse starts to crumble,
waking up the screws.

Should have been enough,
but they didn’t stop turning.
A failure, once more.

Eyes inside of screws,
that see behind the Ash tree.
My end keeps turning.

The sense of life does
differ depending on the
outlook you might have.

According to the
biology it is to
survive long enough

to leave descendants.
It makes sense but for humans
it isn't enough.

Humans do wish for
their immortality one
way or another.

The people of what
we call Ancient Egypt, they
knew it already.

The ancient writers
all have disappeared, their graves
forgotten. Only

they still continue
to live in eternity
since the books they wrote

will keep them alive
in collective memory,
not sharing the fate

contemporaries
who just left a grave behind
had long since to face.

Oblivion is
in human culture at least
forgetting the name.

Accordingly, we
won't find immortality
in nature at all.

@EOTFOFYL:

I have wondered since
the Ghost Story Thread was moved
to Literature:

The Haiku Thread, why
is it under General
although haiku are

undoubtedly the
best example we do have
of literature

found on MangaDex?
Not to criticize, just as
a simple question.

 

[EOTFOFYL]

@Albwin
Good question indeed,
with no good answer either,
to move or not to.

I contemplated
but without a conclusion,
what do others think?

 

[Teddy]

Mates, check the art board
We have beautiful writing
Should be literature.

How to catch a girl
Use some rope and a large net
And valid excuse

How to catch girls' hearts
Use knives and throw the heart up
And valid excuse

How to get a wife
Make sure to purchase early
From dirt poor parents

How to find soulmates
Perform rituals together
Marriage... I meant that

 

[EOTFOFYL]

Behold, mere mortals!
The great sage @Teddy graced us
with his vast knowledge.

 

[Teddy]

How to catch a boy
Milkshakes, Milkshakes everywhere
IT'S A BOYS STAMPEDE

How to catch male teens
Um... Read their stash for their type
Or hack their MD

How to catch a man
Use some rope and a large net
And Valid Excuse

How to hold males down
Lots of rope or cook great food.
Laxatives work too

How to stop cheating
Seduce with more than your looks
Respect yourself and he'll stay

How to choose wisely
Pick the carpenter's cup up
Indiana Jones

Don't be what you're not
Unless you suck, then improve
But don't change yourself

Most people just want
Someone who will decide food
Save all the hassle

 

[BlackGeneral]

How to seduce Black?
ガオー with sincerity.
(Wolf ears are a plus.)

 

[EOTFOFYL]

Don't have a ガオー
so here's some wolf ears instead,
is it working yet?

 

[Albwin]

A saying you will
never find written in a
book nor ever hear:

"A haiku a day
keeps the doctor away." Such
isn't true for flu.

But if haikus soothe
your mind it helps to avoid
the psychologist.

Although it's not true
for haikus containing quite
disturbing content.

 

[BlackGeneral]

Wai-wai-wai-wai-wait!
Is this a... _{a proposal?}
I don- hum, I- _...yes?

 

[CyanHide]

Words and weapons are
both very dangerous to
all who lived and died.

Educated or not,
it mostly depends on how
they are used at all.

They can cut and stab,
burn and bash, regardless of
your true intention.

Silver tongues are
to be feared in that regard.
What then is safest?

Blunt? Direct? No tricks.
Perception is key, my friends.
All is uncertain.

You can twist lies and
obscure the truth. What then, with
so much to be said?

Idolize the mute
and their body language, for
It is well thought out.

Actions speak just as
loud, with as much thought that is
put into writing.

Unnecessary
movement is avoided with
consideration.
