THAT HAIKU I posted yesterday, by the way, should have begun ON a withered branch ... bloody computer chopped it off.
Here are a couple of good ones I know in English. I got them out of an old creative writing manual. (I only ever read two good ones, both by Dianne Doubtfire.)
The delight I feel
goes stamping up the road
in this little boy's coat.
This blank page
glares at me ~
white with rage!

I've tried writing haiku over the years, it's not as easy as you'd think. I sucked. haha
ReplyDeleteby the way, loved the Tim Hortons line .. too funny!
I don't understand anything with this Haiku thing. I can't remember the french word for the Jehova's "Watchtower" I think it's just "La Tour"
ReplyDeleteI like the last one. How true.
ReplyDelete55 Fiction I can do, Haiku I can't :)
ReplyDeleteI had to think about what those haikus were saying, interesting.

As skilled as it is, Haiku to me takes so much pondering that it dilutes the very essence of what a poet is trying to do, and that's create freely from thought and heart, yes? It's still a skilled artform but far too cranial for me lol.
ReplyDeleteI prefer haiku to crosswords
ReplyDelete... reading not doing, much more visual in fewer letters*!*
