Haiku fun

Nov 12, 2002 09:35

livekatie invited people to send her haikus. Hehe, I remember writing haikus sometime during my K-12 career. So, here's mine. If you want to share one, just drop a comment. A haiku is three lines, the first and last are 5 syllables, the second line is 7 syllables.

Bush wants a war now
We must resist such a war
By any means proper

a few words of wisdom from my favourite haiku book "101 Corporate Haiku"
"Seventeen syllables is no arbitrary number. It equals one healthy lungful of air.

Traditional haiku collections are arranged by seasons of the year. A proper haiku is glued to its season....It includes 'season words' called kigo, to hint at where we are on the calendar"

here's a nice one...

Danger lurks, where a
crushing avalanche of white
has buried my desk.

and another favourite...

In adversity,
just what does the Wise One do?
And where is Square One?
