Chain, chain, chain, chain of haiku fools

CDSinex · Mar 20, 2010

Daffodils asleep.
Plum and Cherry near full bloom.
My woods smell like Spring.

kdnxdr · Mar 20, 2010

my woods smell like Spring
earthy humus wafts upward
sweet scents drift lightly

CDSinex · Mar 20, 2010

Sweet scents drift lightly.
Shalimar announces you.
Staying for breakfast?

Woof said:
That was a good haiku but it would be more visually appealing in traditional haiku form, with no capital letters and a bare minimum of punctuation.

Oh? I think the lack of punctuation and caps by some writers is due to conventions influenced by modern English poetry.

When Japanese write in romaji, the Latin alphabet, they use both punctuation and caps. (There are avant-garde poets in Japan who don't use either, but it's just to thumb their noses at traditionalists.)

You can find "haiku" pages that say they needn't be 5-7-5 or only three lines. To each his own I guess.

staying for breakfast?
bare feet tread lightly,
morning answers that question

brokenfingers · Mar 20, 2010

morning answers that question
that my dreams always ask me
inspiring me

CDSinex · Mar 20, 2010

Inspiring me.
Sunlight through thick foliage--
I’ll write a poem.

Woof · Mar 21, 2010

i'll write a poem
or let the poem write itself
shh! wind is talking

madaddicted · Mar 21, 2010

shh, wind is talking
hear its whistle, see them fly
bringing leaves to life

Woof · Mar 21, 2010

bringing leaves to life
the buds awake to unfold
mystery of life

kdnxdr · Mar 21, 2010

mystery of life
it's a willful choice to make -
give me Liberty!

CDSinex · Mar 21, 2010

Give me liberty--
Hatchlings crying in their nest
long to fly away.

kdnxdr · Mar 21, 2010

long to fly away
escape gravity and soar;
keep from looking down

CDSinex · Mar 21, 2010

Keep from looking down.
Cabbageworms destroyed my plants.
Should I even try?

Should I even try?
to write some syllables here
and finish so soon?

Woof · Mar 22, 2010

and to finish so soon
without stopping to observe
two termites mating

BlueDimity · Mar 22, 2010

two termites mating
such a sight causes blindness
I feel sickend now

CDSinex · Mar 22, 2010

I feel sickened now.
Neighbors’ dogs have killed a deer—
Leaving all the meat.

BlueDimity · Mar 22, 2010

Leaving all the meat
I like drinking bug smoothies
Much cleaner than rat

onestepp · Mar 22, 2010

Much cleaner than rat
theatrics entranced, spellbound
inquisitive asked

kdnxdr · Mar 22, 2010

inquisitive; asked
the elusive answer hid
curious cat died

CDSinex · Mar 22, 2010

Curious cat died.
The early worm’s caught by birds.
All I know is wrong.

Woof · Mar 23, 2010

all I know is wrong
but believe it anyway
truth is subjective

CDSinex · Mar 23, 2010

Truth is subjective.
Purple Martins wake the sun.
I’m awakened, too.

BlueDimity · Mar 23, 2010

I'm awakened, too
Only to watch life go on
Peace, quiet, and death
