Write a Haiku

[Nebulous]

A haiku is a type of japanese poetry.

There are 5 syllables in the first sentence, 7 in the second and 5 again in the last sentence.



Example:

Silence around us

Our watchful eyes hear the world

Hands do the talking





...Now you write one.

 

[Nebulous]

Ok I got one...



Nebulous loves Off Topix

he thinks its a great forum

he posts there a lot.

 

[Sam.]

We're looking down on Wayne's basement. Only that's not Wayne's basement. Isn't that weird?

Not quite. How about...



Sam is writing a Haiku.

A Haiku is a Japanese poem.

This is the last line.

 

[Nebulous]

Sam is writing a Haiku. = 7 syllables / should be 5

A Haiku is a Japanese poem. = 10 syllables / should be 7

This is the last line. = only one that is correct.

 

[DanteX]

Her grave sits alone

alone, but with others too

others who mourn now



I just came up with it

Pretty sad/doesn't make sense. Whatevs

 

[Nebulous]

Nebulous is hungry

he should find something to eat

he will do that now

 

[DanteX]

Nebulous is hungry

he should find something to eat

he will do that now

Will he do that now?

is he so sure he needs food?

or is he just high?

 

[Nebulous]

Will he do that now?

is he so sure he needs food?

or is he just high?

he does not smoke weed

he did that in the past though

now is a good boy

 

[DanteX]

he does not smoke weed

he did that in the past though

now is a good boy

there are other drugs

under which one can be high

maybe he does those?

 

[Nebulous]

sometimes I hungry

lack of food causes this dude

not being on drugs

 

[DanteX]

sometimes I hungry

lack of food causes this dude

not being on drugs

do you realize that

what you just wrote makes no sense

you are high, my man

 

[Nebulous]

only high people

think everyone else is high

paranoia sucks

 

[DanteX]

only high people

think everyone else is high

paranoia sucks

what are you saying?

no, i am not high, silly

you are the high one

 

[Evil Eye]

Why are you raving

about drugs, you filled a

whole page with it! eh...

^My extra little syllable at the end

^

 

[Nebulous]

Nebulous is going

to clean house cuz its dirty

not too exciting

 

[Tom]

The beach's tides grow,

Sounding of roaring crowds,

Soothes pain for some.

 

[Ashley]

I never was good at these, and yes I've tried writing some. We had to do this for an assignment in English one year. Actually, I've never been good at poems in general.

 

[Nebulous]

These are probably the simplest poems to write. I can do one without even thinking...



Nebulous's foot itches

he's thinking of scratching it

Ahh relief is here

 

[Sam.]

This is a haiku.

I'm not good at writing them.

Still, I do my best.

 

[Nebulous]

Sammy my old friend

how's life down under today

i bet its nice there

 

[Sam.]

Nebulous my old friend,

Life down under is quite good.

How is life for you?

 

[Nebulous]

It Could be better

I have been short on money

bills are piling up

 

[Kasynlie]

Pay those bills Nebulous

Even if you have no cash

Why not use credit?

 

[Nebulous]

credit is stupid

pay money to spend money

more debt happens then

 

[Kasynlie]

You make a good point.

I'm really good by the way.

Thank you for asking.

 

[Nebulous]

Im glad you are good

Dude I was really worried

now i can relax

 

[Nebulous]

I'm bumpifying

Haiku's are really awesome

Yet they're so simple

 

[Evil Eye]

Do I have to write

A Haiku, Nebulous? Or can

It be something else?

 

[Genie]

I am a giraffe.

I like to eat elephants.

I am so awesome.

 

[Nebulous]

Too much sleep today

Guess I must have needed it

Not ordinary

 

[Genie]

I am up early

It feels quite good so it does

In fact it is nice.

 

[Nebulous]

Dinner was not good

I over cooked it today

ate only 2 bites

 

[Genie]

I laughed at Nebulous

For not eating very well

Aw, poor, poor Nebulous

 

[Nebulous]

Whatever genie

Aladdin, the lame movie

yes, very boring

 

[Genie]

I liked Aladdin

Why do you not like it then?

I thought it was good

 

[Nebulous]

Friday is coming....

Cant wait to get out of here

This place really sucks

 

[Rapunzel]

Rapunzel feels sick

Her head aches badly today

She pukes on Nebulous.

(Sorry Nebulous, I was going to put Evil Eye but he didn't fit).

 

[Masri]

Raging koalas.

I am so terrified. Cat.

Raging koalas.

 

[Evil Eye]

(Sorry Nebulous, I was going to put Evil Eye but he didn't fit).

Evil Eye's thrilled

His name did not fit and

Feels sorry for Nebulous.

 

[Rapunzel]

Evil Eye's haiku

Is really just a poem

Silly Evil Eye
