Time to test your Haiku metal!
Let's see what ya got.
The rule is that it MUST be a real Haiku and preferably one YOU wrote.

It must be in the classic 5-7-7 pentameter.
The pattern can actually be words or syllables
and although it does not need this I am trying to honor Japan in keeping with the tradition of the Haiku that it must have as seasonal reference in it.
Clean or raunchy it does not matter.

Here is My first shot at it:

winter time change has come
love is sought on Mingle2 dot com
Cupid's job is never done




Bombs away folks!biggrin

Snow is piling up outside
I sip tea and type
Will I find my love by spring?

TY but I did it wrong it's supposed to be 5, 7, 5 & that one is 7,5, 7.

Concentrated on the words,
forgot the meter
I wrote dyslexic haiku

Such simple pleasure,
this poetry called haiku,
eloquence compressed.

Um...not to get too technical here but classic haiku is 5-7-5. Your haiku here is 6-9-7.

Damn misspelling (or in this case numbers)!
Well if I walked on water I would have a lot easier time getting dates! Good eye!

If I am perfect
then stormy shores I walk past
I leave no footprints

Not if it's broken down into syllables the way it's supposed to be. Yours, cute as it is, breaks down to 6-9-7.

And no, lilred, I dont write haiku well, I just love to read good haiku, which is why I am reading this forum. flowerforyou

I am allowing for a little twist in the NORMAL rule where it has to be by syllable. The operative term is Artistic license. You are right though it is 5-7-5 syllables but likewise to be truly classic Japanese it must have a seasonal reference as well. Here I think we can allow small indiscretions for the love of the art!:wink:
So why not give it a shot just for fun. Try one for us!!!!
Good, Bad, I don't care. I don't judge either. I am an equal opportunity offender!:angel:

Snow falls and ice forms
The lake solid under foot

Piercing green shattered glass orbs
