If you could write a haiku (japanese poem of 3 lines that goes in the order 5,7,5) who would you write about? (remember nothing insulting...)

Welcome to fluther, @Vincent_Lloyd. I really like the haiku you wrote. I’d have liked to see it written out line by line in its proper format, just to give the full effect.

Interesting question. If I were to write a haiku right now, I think I would write it to… maybe to my younger self.

delicate your soul
veiled love blinded she et al
pray thy dream come true

I wrote it for you & the situation you are in with Amber. Welcome to Fluther.

If I were writing a haiku, and it were about someone, I’d definitely need the insulting part. I’ve never had the desire to express good feelings about someone through poetry.

Welcome to Fluther @Vincent_Lloyd and great question. Here goes:

To write a hiku
Can be difficult—for you
In English, that’s true.

@Jeruba: Thank you for the welcome! I appreciate it. And yes I should have written it out in it’s original Format, but I can rearrange that haha. But Your younger self…Never would have guessed. @ETpro: Thanks for the welcome also. And I’m still learning on how to speak Japanese so it’ll be tough! Thanks for the views.

A cat in the night;
The lightning strikes in her eyes.
Her fury unleashed.

Ultraviaolet light.
Sadness deep inside her heart.
Tears hidden by smiles.

I used to live in Japan and loved it. Hiking in the mountains one day, I came across a beautiful sight and wrote a haiku for it on the spot.

April’s damp morning
Buddha ponders in shadows
Aromatic moss

There are a couple of little know rules to writing haiku. First, it has to have a reference to a season, and I forgot the second one. haha! But, honestly, when writing haiku in English, I think you can forget the rules.

I once saw an elaborate haiku ceremony. The participants were dressed in very old style imperial costume and each was seated next to a very small, slowly flowing stream. Someone put a cup of sake rice wine on a small boat at the beginning of the stream, and the participants had to write a proper haiku before it reached them. It was very beautiful.

I walk this slow for
a reason. My limbs are rot
ting as I bite you.

^Zombie haiku.

What was the question?
Oh yes. A haiku query.
Not interested.

If 6 was 9 quid
How can music heal the sick
Jimi died in fall

Snowboard wax pines more
Launching heroics rings true
In the heat of snow

Welcome to fluther, young one

It’s good being thirteen and in love

And nothing insulting in that.

For a real haiku
One must mention a season
Or it’s fake. (Winter.)

@Dr_Lawrence Aw, shucks. I’m blushing, damn it! ;)

I love the idea of writing to my younger self.

Hey there, little one
Soon, it will all be okay
Fear fades, love will last

I am free falling
through the rain outside my door
You cannot see me

come in and sit down
fluther is your kind of place
to smile and to find.
