A Big Pile of Haiku

Let's get a nice stream of haikus going, shall we?

For anyone who can't remember, haikus are three lines, the first line having 5 syllables, the 2nd having 7 syllables, and the 3rd having 5 syllables.

Let's get to it!

Mine:

She wept for herself
Giving up is easier
Why cry when you can just laugh?


MS '06

It's not very good, but its a start

Not to discourage you from starting a new thread, but to acquaint you with some ongoing or oldie ones -

and - ah, I can't find it right away, but there's a more complicated haiku thread that some of us had some trouble catching on to at the start, but was very interesting, started by Cavfancier. I'd like to revive that one if I can find it, because some of the entries had a lot of wit and/or beauty.

my apologies about the double thread

I just signed up last night, so I have no idea what's going on with previous threads.

No matter, you can still start a new one. But check out the long term one too.



I've been here a long time and it took me a while just now to search out this one...

I was one of the ones slow to catch on, but I remember liking a lot of the Tanka once we got going.

There's a pretty big poetry forum, and this last thread, on Tanka, was tucked into the Trivia and Word Game forum...

You can check out forums by going to Forums at the top of the page - but I tend to do it at the bottom of the page, on the lower left... just scroll.


By the way, welcome to A2k.
