Simply Haiku

[Hollylane]

Only 3 rules

1. Be kind to each other.
2. Please post your own Haiku.
3. Before you hit the submit button, take a moment to consider if you feel like your Haiku may appear to be a passive aggressive attack on another member, review rule 1. If you still want to hit the submit button, and there is a chance someone may take it the wrong way, make sure you give an explanation about what it is concerning.

As a reminder:

The first line should be 5 syllables
The second line should be 7 syllables
The third line should be 5 syllables

Example:

It’s very simple
Five syllables then seven
And five once again

(Thank you to Truly Scrumptious for this Haiku that she posted in Original Bad Prose or Stories! thread) (http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/forum/showpost.php?p=507640&postcount=55)


Have fun!

[Hollylane]

A new day has dawned
Warmth brings mist up from the soil
Spring nears, bringing life

[Parker]

My dogs and I
Are wanting to take a nap
Screw it - back later!

:winky:

[Gaige]

Almost time for bed
Finishing last minute chores
Now time for those Zzz’s

[SoNotHer]

In the month of winds
I find myself again, here
and where I began.

[Hollylane]

You sounded sleepy
I wanted to tuck you in...
Listen to your peace

[Parker]

Asked about movies
I showed her my DVDs
Over two hundred

:|

[Hollylane]

Perched upon a rock
Next to the cold clear water
Rippled looking glass

[girl_dee]

the day is done now

the nights are long and loving

She is so warming

[Licious]

A haiku I just made up for fun:


Some haikus are weird,
They may leave you wondering.
Stradivarius.


Have a great Sunday and week. :bow:

[Hollylane]

I worked off work stress
In the Zumba class at gym
Mondays are so fun

[Hollylane]

My nose was too cold
I covered it with a scarf
No sniffles wanted

[Hollylane]

Springtime birds trilling
Life poking up through the soil
Circle of life turns

[Hollylane]

You are here with me
No one else is invited
Enjoy each moment

[Hollylane]

March brings frigid breath
But April returns singing
The Earth Mother's song

[Passionaria]

craving tahini
rich sensual indulgence
lips and tongue want more

[Hollylane]

Something is stirring
Tangible? Likely a "yes."
But meeting makes clear

[Amber2010]

True friendships have work
Some feelings can change with time
but worth the effort

[Hollylane]

Procrastination
It really must come to end
Time to get to work

[Passionaria]

dark of moon tonight
hummingbird whispers stories
magic grows within

sweet nectar of life
you enchant my very soul
irresistible

look into my eyes
undeniable passion
I call my own name

sanctify myself
the fire said burn brighter
sumptuous self love

[Gaige]

Sewing torn pockets
Mobile phone will stay there now
No more phone on floor

[Hollylane]

My team, the Steelers
Yours, the Baltimore Ravens
Opposites attract?

I don’t usually enjoy the process of writing haiku. I’m someone who’d find it tight having to wish somebody a good day using only twenty-five words. Consequently haiku feels too restrictive. I can’t express myself. There’s no room to maneuver. I imagine that’s the idea, yet the limits feel excessive for me. Claustrophobic even. But it’s just the thing to teach me to be succinct. I need to learn to speak in tight neat packages of brevity. So I figured I’d write a haiku about that.

What can I say when
words are so tightly wrapped there’s
no space for a sigh

[Hollylane]

Its brilliance blinded
Butterflies teased my insides
Because...defense breached

[The JD]

Spring in Atlanta:
Love and pollen in the air,
A gush of plant sperm.

[Hollylane]

Talking could be bad
Mercury in retrograde
Silence equals peace?

[Gaige]

Brisk, long, scenic walk
Now home with a tired dog
Just in time, rain starts

[Hollylane]

Red wine, just one glass
Swirled around, bursting on tongue
Senses now heightened

[Hollylane]

He looked like a mop
Little suds, snips, cookie treat
Now looks like a dog

[Passionaria]

Hi Miss Tick, I want to validate your experience with Haiku. I hear you, yet you came up with it anyway :) For me it's like squeezing a tube of tooth paste, the pressure helps me spit it out, in way's I would never have come up with on my own, lol.

Haiku poetry
makes me search in new places
for delicious words

[Passionaria]

Texas heat rising
last summer the earth scorched dry
frog songs call the rain

[Passionaria]

sultry voice insights
sweet sensuous upheaval
moonlight kisses stars
:moonstars:

[Passionaria]

addictive cravings
karmic weaving's unconscious
dysfunctional love

is your comfort zone
and real love feels abnormal
kindness is boring

so take the abuse
calling it love is crazy
it's your cross to bare

[Hollylane]

It was such a charge,
the flashes of light above.
Lightning stoked the fires

[scootebaby]

Longing for loves kiss
Closing eyes I imagine
Her soft lips to mine.
-------------------------------------------------------------

When you least expect
Your heart is stolen away
Breathing becomes hard

-------------------------------------------------------------

I was on a roll
Thought i could keep it going
Guess i was wrong huh :cheesy:

[Gaige]

1/3 of income
Taxes are too fucking high
Robbed by government

[Hollylane]

Eyes won't stay open
The bed has been made neatly,
but still, it woos me

[Passionaria]

wind shifts unsettling
some dreams they never come true
sorrows to the wind.......

25 days left
'til Virginia Beach sunsets
Time passes quickly

[Hollylane]

Window broken out
of travel trailer. DAMN IT!!
Want to beat some ass!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Battery stolen
Off of the travel trailer
Hah, battery was dead!

[Metro]

in my ears heaven
in the clouds origami
on her knees thunder

Shivering, I fell
Deeper into decadence,
And time passed slowly...

[Hollylane]

Shopping 'til dropping
Getting ready for Gaige time
Smiling more and more

[Hollylane]

And so I am born
New, once again I am whole
No longer waiting

[Hollylane]

When time is shorter
I appreciate longer
Cherish each moment

[scootebaby]

The sound of her voice
Whispering my name so soft
Hearing the love there
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Watching Swamp People
Wanting the gator to win
Choot'em Clint Choot'em :cheesy:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
i need chocolate
Ding Dongs are all i have now
Hershey bars they arent

[Hollylane]

Good night my sweet butch
though separated by miles
Your warmth is felt here...

[G Snap!]

I have no pictures
Taken of me by someone
I may need some friends

[*Anya*]

Living LDR
So very hard to do now
I love her madly

[Hollylane]

Living LDR
So very hard to do now
I love her madly



I read your Haiku
And my stomach flipped and flopped
I suffer the same

[scootebaby]

LDRs are rough
there is no doubt about that
some are worth it tho



For the first time ever
My soul has found its true mate
Love has no measure


Memorial Day
A day we should all give thanks
to those who gave all

[Hollylane]

I saw in your eyes
What was felt over the miles
And I am all yours...

[*Anya*]

Jealousy bad, yes
Watching others U-hauling
When is it my turn

Job, house, family
Keep me tethered here for now
My heart lives elsewhere

[Hollylane]

[Hollylane]

If I had a wand
I'd wave it, 12 times total
I don't want these pounds


And a better 12....

12 Fridays do loom
On a few month's horizons
Then...lap time with Gaige :stillheart:

[Hollylane]

Five Fridays to go
Five Mondays to tick away
Then LR will rock!

[Tommi]

Neon green twisty
Kitten catching fetching back
Pipe cleaners great toys

[Renj3]

Empty pockets hang
Money slipping through my hands
Is it all worth it? http://www.anikaos.com/040-onion_msn_smilies/1-onion_avatars/onion_avatars-02.jpg

[SleepyButch]

Be still my heart beats
Listening to current wants
Flaming my desire

[SleepyButch]

Listening to you
Easing your pain from inside
Time has no limits

[SleepyButch]

Not going away
Two ships that may never cross
Destiny steps in

.

[SleepyButch]

Wake meaningless day
Never knowing what comes next
Anticipating

[Hollylane]

Can't get enough sleep
Tossing, turning, tossing...Hmphff!
Pass the coffee please.

[jac]

Drift into the dark
Dreams shall awaken the soul
Restless is the night

[socialjustice_fsu]

Fragmented thinking
Chambers are not connecting
Heart storms need to cease

[Hollylane]

Once, twice, three times...Phfftt
Quitting time came, but then went
Fucking phone still rang

[Gaige]

The weekend is here
Two whole days to just fuck off
Get ready, set, GO!!!!

[Hollylane]

OT pays the bills
leaves little time for housework
laundry beckons me...

[Hollylane]

Down cat! Down Dog! Ouch!
The bed, no longer my own
Sleepless in Portland...

[Hollylane]

Toss, turn, toss, & turn
thinking about the aching
one more night, sans sleep...

[Siren's Song]

pink candle holder
capiz shells and wire
windowsill flower

pink translucent light
lotus petals surround fire
a serene embrace

[BoDy*ShOt]

mouth poised, head tipped up
a faint smile on your sleeping face
a kiss in the spring rain

[Siren's Song]

sensuality
uninhibited movement
graceful ecpression

[Siren's Song]

designs punctuate
light coming through the window
patterns on the floor

alter what is seen
layers of patterns merged
on my Persian rug

add mysterious
sun drenched embellishments
and protect my rug.

[Siren's Song]

Amber colored gems
sparkling atop metal
Jaguar trinket box

[SleepyButch]

Looking Down in Front
So intent on your actions
Steadily watching

[Amulette]

curiosity
didn't kill the cat is was
over confidence
:cat:

[Spirit Dancer]

Emptiness abounds
Silence soothes scattering thoughts
Branch snaps, words linger.

[Amulette]

A delicious love
becoming my own best friend
my heart feels so free

[Amulette]

The forest outside
embraces bird song mornings
and feather to wind
