Well, I basically got the idea from our so loved BFC..., but why not start our own Haiku Thread. There are lots of creative souls browsing the :spyder: Forum (Sia we miss you here).
Shiden
Graffiti severe
Trains, even planes are scattered
The artist takes all
Monday morning sun
Sharp beams through open spaces
Dew is gone once more
Even yesterday
Grasshoppers spread Africa
All corn vaporised
Live long though happy
Every 24/7
Crumble up in time
The morning train leaves
From Amsterdam Avenue
People stare. Distance.
Heavenly a cow
Red muddy roads with deep dents
This India is
Though infinity
may last a lifetime or so
Everything ends soon
Some blades are quite sharp
And diamond is strongest
Sound may pierce your ears
Syllables may cause -
Some trouble - may interfere
Forming nice Haiku
wow although i did study , not practised, some Japanese artforms i always felt that the making of a Haiku was extremely different thing to do. I find it baffling that u guys can make a Haiku so good. Maybe we can get looked at them by a real Haiku expert and make a competition out of it. I am NOT going to participate due to the complex nature of the Haiku. When u try to take modern aspects into the Haiku it will make it even harder to make a deep one :D
i found the Zackerty post the "deepest one" :)
this haiku is written with the tought of a cold morning in the woods with your favorite knife in your hands, staring at the rising of the sun
"the sun, cold reflections
the sharpness of the steel
sometimes my brother, sometimes my enemy"
This one I wrote in remembrance of the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
102.000 Jews were deported from the Netherlands to Vernichtungslager in the east. Most of them passed through Kamp Westerbork. From January 22nd till 27th all the names of these 102.000 people read in Amsterdam and later in Kamp Westerbork.
