Project #1

[LaRaine_Raven]

I would like for each of you to write a Haiku. It can be about anything you would like and any of the types of Haikus we learned about in the first lesson! If you feel comfortable, please post them as you get them written or send them to me in a message! Happy Writting!

why isn't anyone doing anythaaang?! sounds fun.. here goes a try..


reaching through glazed film
transcending through our ego
sealing our karma

[LaRaine_Raven]

Absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to read more from you! I wish everyone else would take your lead!

[Action Lad]

the sword sweeps
harvesting the crimson seed
for the state

random, and yes morbid, but its my first

[LaRaine_Raven]

Very nice Action Lad! Keep up the good work!

[Chunk]

Wolf

The wind in his fur
Broken moonlight through treetops
Never stop running
At least not for this one night
For he is alive


I don't know whether you normally title Haiku peoms or not because i've seen
quite a lot without a title but I felt this one needed one to appreciate it properly.
Its my first try and I didn't spend very long on it, i'm quite happy with it though.

[Action Lad]

That is very beautiful chunk, nice imagery.

Its hell of alot better than my little stub, lol

write that one down man

[Chunk]

Thanks for the complement, I keep a journal (that I hardly ever write in, lol) so i've already written it in there.
I've thought about doing some poetry for a while and I saw this free class and though i'd just try it.

I'd like to do some limericks, theres one that I can remember hearing when I was about five (yes, five):

There was a man from Sprocket
Who went away in a rocket
The rocket went bang
His balls went clang
And he found his cock in his pocket

I just really like them cause they're really funny sometimes and roll off the tongue nice.

Have you written any more poems?

[Action Lad]

Not really, im not too good with poetry.

The only artistic thing i can do so far is come up with quotes of wisdom and wit.

For example,

Never drop the soap of responsibility in the shower of life, you will get fucked for it. (Prison theme)

What you dont believe, cant hurt you.

Things are impossible only if you make them impossible.

i think there are moar, but i never wrote them down, im regreting that now.

[Chunk]

Its always worth writing things like that down, even if you havn't got a pen on you write it on your phone or something untill you get home.
They're really good.

[LaRaine_Raven]

Chunk: Very nice piece!!! Wonderful imagery. I am so glad to see people conversing! Keep it up...it would be great if we could get more of you involved!
*And yes, it's fine to title Haikus...any poem can be titled or untitled depending on your preferance and whether or not you feel it needs a title...Keep up the great work! If you have any questions, feel free to message me...

And I also like that you pointed out keeping a journal and writing things down...sometimes I get an idea and all I have is a napkin or a piece of gum wrapper...I've written on some pretty interesting materials!

[asynchronicity]

i hate haiku
its too easy to pretend
acid dreams
are poetry

[bekyboo52]

lightly felled
are the coloured leaves
of autumn

[LaRaine_Raven]

Very nice! Both of you! Sorry it took so long to reply...

[Ammatai]

Actions tell
Truth larger than words
Who we Are.

[Ammatai]

Why am I here?
I seek the truth.
But perhaps I fear it.

[Ammatai]

Broken Haiku

Create poetry
Purpose; woo women
Better to lift weights

[Ammatai]

Broken Haiku

Create poetry
Purpose; woo women
Better to lift weights


maybe this one is better?:

Poetry created
Purpose to woo women
Better to lift weights

[Ammatai]

I say her name, eyes meet
She smiles; whispering hope
Dies with the moment

[Ammatai]

I look to her
She is meaning
Light beaconing hope
Wretched outcast again

[Ammatai]

Theme is getting kind of stale. Hopefully I can work through it..

Heavens gates
Beaming radiance
Fallen one rejoice
In hell there is no yearning

[Ammatai]

Entropy.
Focus to unbind
All Meaning.

[Ammatai]

What Purpose
exists to cry forth
Existance?

[Ammatai]

I exist. Now..
I breath, I know. Life?
Burning Why?


I'm not liking this one much but posting it anyway.
