Some Haiku

Hi, dear ones!

So I was playing with haiku today and came up with these. Enjoy!

A storm batters me

It cannot rain all the time

I’ll wait for the sun

The changes are slow

I’m patiently impatient

The mirror calls me

I keep falling down

The past keeps tripping me up

I get up again

The waves crash against me

I’m drowning in myself

The sweet air awaits

The her that is him

They see he that is not me

The he that is she

I knew who I was

I know who I am again

I can be reborn

My eyes never lied

My body was the false one

Seek the truth of me

Honey, I like it, but, I have to plead ignorance.....

Can you explain just what is a "Haiku"?

Many of us don't understand what is involved to make a Haiku...

Thanks, Hon.....

I liked number two and the last three especially! And

The her that is him

They see he that is not me

The he that is she

NICE

Dee Jay knows what Haiku is, she just wants all to understand.

Japanese poetry - three lines = first 5 syllables, second 7, third 5 - not necessary to rhyme

Japanese begun

Five Seven Five in turn

So simple so fun

Hey, Dee Jay,

Haiku is a traditional Japanese form. The poem must have 17 syllables broken into thre lines (5-7-5)

Traditonally, the poem should have a nature/seasonal theme. In English, the form is often more important than the subject. Mine are true to form if not intent.

Hope that helps.

Luv

I was taught that by a R.A. Sargent at Fort Sill - he had this soft side I guess - LOVED Haiku - knew hundreds that we so beautiful and would often rattle them off in everyday conversations to see if anyone was paying attention. At the end of the basic training, we had a beer bust - the NCO staff got drunk - THEN we heard the really GOOD ONES!

You never know where art and poetry hides in wait.
