Neverending Haiku chain: Part 2

@n0tarobot,

Those who can no more
fish stars from the night sky and
pull down schools of fire

Roasted nice and brown
It will feed all the people
Who live in this town.

Who live in this town
Never stop by snowy woods
To watch the quiet.

@n0tarobot,

To watch the quite, four syllables.

To watch the quite clouds
Gliding across the heavens
Like majestic swans.

@The Anointed,

I was using "quiet," a 2-syllable word meaning "calm" or "low noise." I was using it a little creatively, since people don't usually think of watching quiet. I'm not sure how you were using "quite" but that's your choice.

If you had read the first five syllable line of my previous Haiku you would have known how I use the word "QUITE" I do not say 'Qu--ite' but 'Quite', one syllable.

Like maj-est-ic swans
Glid-ing a-cross the wat-ers
So do my words glide...... Not gil-ide

@The Anointed,

My apologies, you were correct, the word "quite" can be a two syllable word, sorry about that mate.

@The Anointed,

I goofed once, you goofed once--we're even. Smile

But did you not notice that the word I use is spelled Q U I E T? You keep writing Q U I T E. The last two letters are switched.

Back to haiku...

Like majestic swans
The... no, I am now afraid
I will make a goof.

@n0tarobot,

I will make a goof
But without absolute proof
I say to you "POOF'

used to describe a sudden disappearance.
"once you've used it, poof—it's gone"

To watch the quiet
Fireflies sparking in the night
A cool breeze rustles the grass

@The Anointed,

How I love the breeze
a late-season Nor'easter
blankets the whole world.

@tsarstepan,

Blankets the whole world
In a freezing sheet of white
And now comes the night

@The Anointed,

And now comes the night
With the darkness descending
Things vanish from sight.

Things vanish from sight:
honeysuckle, broadleaf grass
Can I bring it back?

@Lash,

Can I bring it back
That felling of love I had
When she was with me?

0 Replies

When she was with me,
she coiled in the shaft of sun,
beneath the window.

@Lash,

Beneath the window
lies some seeds in their newly
bedded jardiniere.
