free haiku


Helen of Annoy

Recommended Posts

So, Jak had this ingenious idea that we start a new haiku thread. 

Unlike (un)holy haiku, where we agreed to stick to strict 5-7-5 syllables rule, and always start new haiku with the last line from the haiku above, here we would like to make it totally free. No strict rules, just make it short, in haiku spirit, and if possible linked to the previous haiku in the sense of being inspired with it. 

The reason why we put this thread into Fun&Games instead of Writers' Hangout is because we would like to keep the humorous and playful atmosphere. 

 

So, let me have the honour of starting with this one: 

 

 

hopes, like butterflies 

beautiful even when they're dead 

if not too squashed 

their dust on cruel hands

horrible like blood

Horrible like blood 

Science found even caste in it, who negative and who positive

hope the next poster put my point in strict 5 7 5. Thanks

I can't do 5 - 7 - 5. Anyway isn't that rule for Japanese language? So maybe skip this one.

Who negative and who positive

Frog and nightingale sing

No difference

You're too quick for me. For previous, maybe this should be allowed in parenthesis?

Just make it completely free, folks. We have the old thread for rules and stuff, just let yourself go in here.

What I meant is every alternate poster must strictly follow 5 7 5 by Helping previous free writer.  Just putting their free writing in systematic haiku syllables

If you wish, we can make it that way too. 

I'll start another thread, we can call it 'training wheels haiku' and leave this thread completely free.

(Going all out, 5-7-5 + rhyming)

Tendies are such feats

Handheld nummy chicken-treats

They're the best of meats.
