Tonight's Haiku

[glynndah]

And that pretty much says it all.

This should be posted on Lit's home page.

*blushes* Thank you. It's Lit, after all. Naughty bits had to be brought in here somewhere.

My nocturnal Haiku drifts,
softer than a moth's wing,
into the velvety darkness.

Nice one, sweetie. More ethereal than mine.

Thank you, o captivating wytch.

But yours is so...earthy and raw...so fitting for this forum.

A newbie writes here
A haiku in Glynndah's thread
Hoping it pleases.

I blame slyc_willie. He started... er.... inspired it.

I blame slyc_willie. He started... er.... inspired it.

Why am I not surprised by that?

Wow, I feel another Haiku coming on...

 

[slyc_willie]

I did not inspire
'Twas the good witch with her prose
I was but a muse

 

[TE999]

Love unrequited, sears the soul utterly
A flame that burns, consuming and devouring
Leaving naught but a husk, a shell, a void

 

[Edward Teach]

Oh what happy day
Heels eighty-one, Spartans less
Go to Sweet Sixteen

Joy in Blue Heaven
Woe and despair in Blue Hell
Seppuku watch on

Everyone was sick!
Nausea and vomiting…
Flu? Poor, poor babies!

Carries into the lunchroom

I'm no poet, and certainly not a good writer of haikus, but you have a good one here, if I may, that might be good true haiku, or nearly so. If I may:

Nocturnal haiku
drifts softer than a moth's wing.
Velvety darkness.

It's the first basic 5-7-5 syllable rule. The last line is supposed to be sort of apart from the rest, but having something to do with weather, or season's I think. Anyone out there feel free to correct me. I just thought this one was nice.

Why thank you, mismused.

It is a marked improvement over my scribbling.
