Telrao Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 All right, my humans You know what to do! Today We shall make Haikus! Use this form only: Beats of five, seven and five Haikus are the best! Quote You may only speak out of Haiku form while using quote boxes. If you speak normally without Haiku form, you will be sacrificed to Haikunas, the Shard of Haikus. If you are confused how to make a Haiku, it is rather simple. Haikus follow a simple form: The first line: five beats The second line: seven beats The third line: five beats. The beats are syllables - you can count them by mouthing the words, holding your hand to your chin. The number of times your chin goes down, that is the number of syllables. Don't worry if it doesn't rhyme - haikus are more focused on the rhythm of the lines. Have fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Your entire haiku was just one sentence in the form of a poem. If your poem is one continuous thought, then I feel justified in breaking protocol and using punctuation. Yes I knew that standard form doesn't like having a thought continue through lines. But I thought sharing the fact that I had, as of the last week, written 24 haikus for fun seemed relevant enough to bend the rules. I know its a cardinal sin it is fun to shake things up.

Shining Silhouette Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Here is a poem Of haikus I wrote before I hope you enjoy Quote I ponder alone At the brink of consciousness Embracing the night I contemplate life Considering sanity Rough reality I think about words Purest colors, warm and cool Painted on voices I listen, hearing Sounds, strange and mysterious Elegant and coarse Grim thoughts invade my Peace, surrounding me, snarling At my weaknesses I’m frightened, caught off Balance. My demons laugh at Me, my failures I’m trapped in myself Memories echo inside It’s overwhelming I clutch onto hope Wrenching myself towards the light Bright, pleasant and warm I remember smiles My friends laughing together Jovial and free My family’s love Unconditional support Helps heal the broken I realize the truth Life is either joy or gloom We decide which one Tomorrow is hope It’s the sun rising once more Bringing a new dawn As my breath rises And falls with every puff I lie silently Waiting for the night To take me upon its wings Out of consciousness 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
