The Haiku Thread

[Albwin]

Allow me to tell
you a curious thing you
wouldn't ever know

since only the ones
affected themselves would tend
to realize this.

If you are sitting
in a wheelchair and you do
drive with it yourself

instead of simply
being pushed by a helper,
you use the hand rims

attached to the wheels.
But as you now move, you then
need to put something

inside a pocket
or take something out. You have
to stop moving then

to accomplish the
task before continuing
on your way again.

People who can walk
would do the same while they still
continue walking.

It's just how it is,
just normal for those who are
in need of wheelchairs.

Quite a curious
thing, don't you agree? A part
of everyday life

for those used to it.
Foreign to others, but still
it is normalcy.

I've read every books,
Listen to every savants,
And take every drugs...

Years of researches .
But I still can't attain it.
The meaning of life.

It's in my deathbed
That I finally fathom.
Don't waste any time.

@BlackGeneral

Time is running out,
yet my work isn't finished.
Death shall not stop me.

 

[Markgraf]

Many morbid thoughts
are being versified here.
Cheer up, everyone!

E-OT-FO-FYL bad
hurt my eyes and hard to rhyme.
Need easier name

E-OT-FO-FYL bad
how to count the syllables
Share fluff not horror

 

[Metonym]

Poem recipe:
From a tween's tear-soaked journal,
Wring seventeen drops.

EDIT: an aside
Ere the night comes "eventide"!
Thus spake our forbears.

 

[AfterMidnightMoon]

That man's commitment
To even use blood to write
He's exceptional

 

[Albwin]

Manga reader sites
lack only this one thing: no
ink and paper scent.

@AfterMidnightMoon

Great work can't be made,
not without great suffering.
Will you bleed for me?

@Teddy

You desire some fluff?
You asked and you shall receive!
Behold, three Terrans!

 

[BlackGeneral]

Hey, Happy lewd week!
Twenty-ninth week of the year.
Let's share our lewd stuff.

It's a young custom.
Not really popular yet.
I created it...

She likes to break people's hearts
I've yet to move on

@EOTFOFYL
A guy in real-life
Named Vincent Castiglia
Likes to paint with blood

Imagine the shock!
Another new site unasked
to me just appeared.

Virus warning shown,
all in all quite dubious.
Thus I closed it fast.

Now the virus scan
is running on my PC.
Hopefully all well.

The second scan though.
The first said all was OK,
but sure to be sure.

 

[Markgraf]

Computer virus!?
So scary - our PCs are
just techno toilets.

 

[EOTFOFYL]

@BlackGeneral
Okay you know what?
You're getting what you asked for,
just don't regret this. (NSFW, NSFL)

@aftermidnightmoon
A tasty morsel,
I'll take this information,
and savour it all.

I can't seem to move
and while my sight is intact,
I wish it wasn't.

 

[Albwin]

Haiku creation
can become addicting when
you write them daily.

In some aspects though
rhyming remains easier.
Both meddles your brain.

Don't overdo it
lest you start thinking always
in haiku or rhymes.

@EOTFOFYL:
Having written some
I now can understand why
you started this thread.

 

[BlackGeneral]

A peaceable life
An inaccessible dream.
There is so much noise.

 

[EOTFOFYL]

@Albwin
Done ad nauseam,
a strange obsession indeed,
but I won't stop now.

How did this happen?
I've been changed so drastically,
I don't deserve this.

 

[Albwin]

Quiero escribir
Haiku in vielen Sprachen.
J'ai fait que j'ai dit.

Just a little test,
multiligually and
just done for some fun.

"I want to write"
the first line says in Spanish
starting the haiku.

Next German: "Haiku
in many languages." It's
the central message.

French to end it all.
"I have done as I have said."
bringing conclusion.

My next haiku then
will be in English again
like all others too.

Not feeling too well.
I feel like im losing myself.
I dont even remember who i am.
I feel like im dreaming?
That my actions have no consequences.
Who i was doesnt matter.
No matter how good i treat others.
Others will always hurt me.
I used to want to hurt myself.
But now i want to hurt others before they hurt me.
I dont even know what im saying anymore.
I want to stop thinking
I hate these voices in my head.
I hate self pity.
But im so alone.

 

[BlackGeneral]

Following the rules
would make you more likeable.
Don't be so edgy.
