Furry (serious) Haiku
Each day I wonder Will I ever have a tail? My heart is pining |
As I'm sure many furs will attest, there are times when being human is downright painful (emotionally). Every now and then, I have one of those moments (poem was not written during one of them, however).
Furry (light-hearted) Haiku
Stealthily I creep But wind changes direction Lost the deer again |
Absurd Haiku
I'm as bored as you I don't have a thing to do I shall write Haiku |
I originally wrote this for a poetry collection I had to do for school. I mostly did poetry mocking the form I had to write it in.
I don't quite recall How to write this thing known as Japanese Haiku |
I had an opportunity to post a mocking Haiku on SH's LiveJournal, but couldn't recall the previous poem, so I came up with this one...
You might wish to ask What on Earth is a Haiku? Japanese nonsense! |
...and when his reply apparently failed to notice what I'd done, I made up yet another. This one didn't make my comment and went over IM instead, but I hoard all things poetry, and so got the idea to put these down somewhere. That's what caused this page to come into existence.
When I'm exhausted, A trite reply is better Than wit, late at night |
In reply to the previous Haiku, SH attempted to write a limerick pleading lack of recent sleep, and in the process discovered that limericks are difficult. However, I still liked the poem, and especially the idea it conveyed. This is the same, re-rendered in Haiku format.
Writing poetry Unexpected side effects: Loss of sanity |
Twisting in the wind Watching scattered thoughts fly by I've lost my marbles |
These last two are a result of the page's original title (it started with just Absurd Haiku) and the title of my LiveJournal; The Deranged Chakat. So I thought I'd write a few that were a little 'off the rocker' as it were.
When one mocks a thing They must hate it, but love it Else how can they mock? |
Respectful Haiku
A Haiku may be The world's most beautiful thing Known as poetry |
This one, and the last one in the 'Absurd' category come from a feeling of guilt over writing so many ironic/parody Haikus; it's really a beautiful (and FUN!) form. Unfortunately, being so good makes it so much easier (and so much more entertaining) to abuse *grin*.
