Write/post haikus

Write/post haikus.

For those few who don't know what a haiku is, it's a structured form of three-lined, non-rhyming poetry in which the first line is 5 syllables, the second is 7, and the third and final is also 5.

Opportunity
Laziness and cowardice
humiliation

No they aren't, there's more to haiku than counting syllables

under comforter
warm comfy xanax feeling
time to drift away

I was explaining only the most basic form of haiku, feel free to escape it if you desire.

this is correct
op shovels cock into his esophagus
syllables are guidelines for translating haiku into english, not rules

...

its five syllables
and then seven syllables
and another five

Cold winds guide the snow
Upon the fields it lays to sleep
Asleep too is the flock

Sweltering heat climbs
vines shrivel and wilt, unripe
lost beneath shade palms

this is a haiku
what ya think of it desu?
thanks for reading dude

I'm not a robot
Select photos of storefronts
This does not compute

Penny-pinching kike
Bathing in a child's blood
"God's chosen people"

KEK

anyone like edgy haiku?


Waves crash.
Sand silts.
Again, Again…


No music in
A cracked bell
Or dead bird.


Zen’d gravel
raked straight-
concrete walls )))

k-hole widens fast
emptiness envelopes all
it is time to die

massive futa cocks
throbbing with endless cum, rise
to fill the void bis

Free software is the
true path we follow, to break
the grip of malice

Paper due Sunday
It's about Xenophanes
Haven't started yet

You will do well, I know it

The one, true, God-Emperor
No being comes close!


Aside from the 5-7-5, what should be considered when making English haikus?

some word that alludes to a season (you have one)
a juxtaposition of two object (you could argue you have one)
a cutting-word (you don't have one)

here's one of mine with all of those (in a 3-4-3 format to preserve the restriction that Japanese Haiku have)

Winter winds,
persimmon numb
near a fire.

From the mighty Warp
A deluge of Chaos spawns
Victory, assured

If only you knew
how watching you from afar
caused me such sorrow

Like the waning of
the moon, our love succumbs to
darkness, and I mourn

as I drift to sleep
the approaching despair of
tomorrow haunts me

As I walk down this
rain drenched street full of sadness
even the sky weeps

In you, I try to
find comfort, but I only
become more broken

I sit here, alone,
and think of a time where we
would sit together

my life will now be
spent running away from my
memories of you.

What pains me the most
is that I was so naive,
and thought you'd love me

my mind continues
to replay the memory
of the night we shared

As I watched you leave
I wanted to feel nothing
But grief consumed me

What about you mention the seasonal references, the cut, you know, the essential aspects

??

can world recover
from the longest wintry time
wake before they come

step aside and spit
no longer will you listen
to this heart's beating

where words fail bigly
memes help express the anger
of seeing nails rot

>woke up and came twice
>cleaned up then made breakfast
>shit posting always

>a cutting-word
What does that mean?

A haiku is supposed to contrast two different ideas with a dramatic change between them, not a continuous flow like most poems. The point where there is an abrupt change the japanese use a word that has a strong sound which makes a very solid end. That can't really be duplicated in English. It might be something like:

"the season was deAD"
"Butterflies rise"

Pound used the semi-colon pretty well
line breaks and punctuation are your best bets really

how about this?

the autumn leaves drip
small beads of dew and soft rain
cum from my hard cock

that has a great example of a cutting word actually
the juxtaposition of soft rain/hard cock is stark, but is still linked together with a metaphor (important to note metaphors are not a primary concern in haiku, and they are normally in 3rd due to the emphasis on imagery/divorce from the self)

still, better than most

no cutting, circumcision doesn't count

The shitposting in
This thread is annoying and
Not even literature

night in the city
blue light glowing on my face
sleep comes after dawn

Bleeding empty soul
Darkness hatred sorrow death
Eternally rot
>Edge competition; let's see who's the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Who is the best famous poet that writes haikus

Watching Hell's Kitchen
I like when Gordon Ramsay
Spergs like a madman

Master Basho is the Shakespeare of Haiku

Dear oh dear, fuck me
IT'S FUCKING RAW, YOU DONKEY!
Idiot sandwich.

I don't get it, he didn't write in english so how do they rigidly conform his writing to a 5-7-5 syllabic structure? There's gotta be some butchering in the translation

they didn't 5-7-5 is a guideline that he also broke sometimes
of course the translations won't be perfect though
