English Haiku

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

    by 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"

    I 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.

    I prefer haiku to crosswords
    ... reading not doing, much more visual in fewer letters*!*
