winter is now here
so cold bleak and empty now
life comes to an end

Winter will give way
To Spring, prompting a cycle:
Constant renewal.

General Forum
Seems to me a noisy place.
Norm'lly I stay out.

But all this haiku
Makes me quickly split my sides
Laughing much too hard!

EDIT

Please do not neglect
To see the apostrophe
In that first haiku.

Apostrophe seen
And duly noted; it is
convenient for you!

(note:i pronounce convenient 3 syllables: con-ven-ient)
29-12-2003, 07:35
It seems that they do
On my fingers I counted
7-6-7 I sayYou are one to talk;
Even your own numbers err,
Five-seven-seven!

and the renewal
shall once again go to death
life comes to an end

(note:i pronounce convenient 3 syllables: con-ven-ient)Many thanks have I
That you have such keen vision
If only all were so.
29-12-2003, 07:36
Minus the I say
And the structure is just right.
If not, disaster!

Indeed these seasons
Are just parts of one beast
The dark maw of Time

Time is a bastard
He likes to elude my grasp

And the cycle rolls
No mercy for us mortals
We leave no footprints
29-12-2003, 07:40
My exit comes soon
It is late, time teases me.
Yawns roll in swiftly.

Gods you are correct
It appears that I slur my
Numbers quite fiercely
29-12-2003, 07:40
Alas, I must go.
I hear the voice of my mom:
"Please take out the trash!"

(OK, so she's not really bugging me right now; but I still need to go do it. Cheerio!)
Talkos
29-12-2003, 07:42
Ah! The trash must go
Thanks for the reminder friends
I too must leave here

The last line is six!
Follow the form of haiku
Lest I cry hot tears.
29-12-2003, 07:44
The form it cries out
All of us fail in the end
But we can be renewed
29-12-2003, 07:45
Alas, most have left.
I struggle alone for this,
Yet I should go!
29-12-2003, 07:46

Fasaka is wrong
My syllables dont waver.
Always structural!

Did I offend through egoism?
I said I'm sorry!

Never mind my post
Your post was not showing up
I stand corrected.
29-12-2003, 07:58
You have haiku skill-
A worthy opponent found.
Shall we spar for fun?
29-12-2003, 08:00
Nationstates.net
Is a fun site to frequent
For entertainment.
29-12-2003, 08:03
Your posts are many
And your talent impressive
But battle we shall

The first move is yours
Say what you will great rival
My repose is quick

The clock keeps reminding me
I need to sleep now.

Holy heck. This thread!
It lives, it breathes, it dies not,
Because haikus rock.

I watch haiku war
entertainment does abound-
sleepless in Salem

Alas! Posts come slow
And if Father awakens,
grounded I will be.

Oh to heck with it,
Though I am a mere newbie,
may I join you all?

Haikus aren't deep.

So can villanelles.

Yeah, that's off of Fight Club-the best movie ever.

Does "world" have one,
Or two syllables in it?
Perhaps it has both.

Mabye it simply
Depends on the way in which
One pronounces it.
