December Form Challenge: Haiku

[Rother]

Warm breath on window panes
reveals a fingered scrawl.
I love you

 

[Angeline]

Rainbow in the mist
puddles the shining pavement.
Cars hum, honk like geese.

 

[PandoraGlitters]

Beautiful work, everyone. Really really love that last one, Angeline. Splendid.

Thanks! I think I suck at haiku. I need to read more about the form to feel like I'm comfortable with it.

deep cave days ago
maple sisters lost hair; red
beds for falling cones

Fiscal cliff be gone
The Taliban banned for good
Violent weather

 

[HarryHill]

House fills friends gather
This is the way to start years
Absent ones thought of

 

[bogusagain]

an accummulation of days
an index of experience
the end​

wrapping paper
tumbles down the street
winter storm

New Year’s Day
last year’s Christmas tree
on the curb

New Year’s Day
last year’s Christmas tree
on the curb

like the ku-ness of this one, lots

 

[nonfictional]

dreaming of Manhattan
wet car antenna
scrapes empty winter sky

January night

Thirtyone have gone
Threefiftyfour next will come
with the 'morrows light

 

[glynndah]

I know it's now February but still...

Late winter haiku.

New snow this morning.
Temperature starts to drop.
The groundhog just laughs.

Acrostic haiku

Come, good little witch
Understand my dilemma
Magic can save me

Before I post a haiku, western haikus are not haikus for the simple reason they aren't composed using Japanese script, which is why they always seem insubstantial and unfinished. Japanese haikus have an internal cross referencing, a sort of puzzle between what is said and the symbols used. My daughter studies Japanese and said, western haikus are like having the skeleton of a voluptuous model and having to imagine her, while Japanese haikus in Japanese script are the voluptuous model, flesh, breathing and all.

A crow
unfolds into flight
night falls​

I think you should frighten your daughter
Japanese is a baad language, unlike German which is soo Uber

Serious - define this: Japanese script

bog. i know you're out there.
get your daughter to explain this further

I like this, agree with her, esp the breathing part

now that should be scary to all parties concerned
