Original Haiku

[cacawate]

Ok everybody, let's get those creative juices flowing. I want to see original haiku produced by you! Be it in Japanese, English, Norwegian, French etc.; be it funny, serious, romantic or any other feeling attached to it. If it is in another language, translate it to english. Let's liven this forum up!!

This forum is cool,
It feels like home on the 'net,
Let's all make haiku.

勉強し、
頭がいいだ、
なりたいよ。

Study and,
you will be smart,
I want that.

Heh, well I tried my best. Haiku are pretty tough in Japanese, but that should get the ball rolling. Minna, ganbattene! (Good luck, everyone!)

一度褒めると

[cacawate]

Lemme take a stab at that one .

Met an ugly girl,
I said a nice thing to her,
inescapable.

Hope I didn't screw that up too much.

the true sport of blood
a twisted child of wrestling
we are gaea


right, so i saw a show the other day about some japanese girls wrestling called the gaea girls.. at first i thought it was your standard fake wrestling since the attacks and looks of the sport are the same, except with women.. (well.. barely women.. those chicks were enormous..

but a while into the program, while waching their training it was painfully obvious how true this sport was.. it was a true bloodsport, even the ultimate fighting championships pale in comparison...

I have the deepest respect for the gaea girls after this.. those chicks would kill hulk hogan in the ring..

i'm not quite sure the last one counts as 5 syllables...

 

[cacawate]

Lol, that was awesome. Yeah, I think that last one is cool. It was the second line I had to accomodate my dialect to. Down in the south here we pronounce it re-suhl-ing.

 

[Glenn]

Where in the south, cacawate? I thought that you were from Cali.

 

[cacawate]

Yeah, Southern California*.

Edit: Don't want to diverge from the post so:

I am from So Cal,
we say things diff'rent than most,
see? I say diff'rent.

*That's considered west ain't it? My bad... :sorry:

Hmmmm, the only haiku i ever did, it was for an english assignment back in high school
Hope is not 2 terrible

A mountain of mist,
up in heaveans of twilight,
A shadow of life.

 

[TwistedMac]

I, the son of life
But alas war turns the tide
I, the son of death

was talking to TimF about how i'd never be able to kill someone.. then we got into how it must feel to end up in a war and be forced to do it :/

 

[cacawate]

Wow, that's really good,
made me deeply think of war,
keep up the good work.

Confucius says:

Hornets with boobs are seldom,
even more camels with egg slicers,
so lubricate them tightly.

Cleft Palettes are sad,
Operation Smile can help,
No more mark mark mark

[sadakoyamamura]

Cacawate, thanks!
Though talent's very rusty
This is my haiku

"You smile happily
But in your eyes, truth I see
of the love you need"

 

[Kirsty]

I drift through this world
Invisible forces hold me
Is my fate decided?

(invisible..mmm....2 or 3 syllables?!! 3 works for me!!)

Murakami san
After dark I seek to know
Nihongo only

Patience I must have
If you have read please tell
I really cannot wait!

I didn't know where to post this vital question?!!

 

[sadakoyamamura]

storms have since passed us
yet we are still together
tougher every day

--------------------

allow me to ask
what are sides of the same coin?
answer: life and death

:haihai:

 

[Hachiko]

Love is still alive,
Japan Reference still blooms,
Links, links, and more links.

Azumanga is,
High School girls and comedy,
Humour, off-kilter.

 

[jovial_jon]

Japan Reference still blooms,
Links, links, and more links.

Parody of self,
something that is present here,
ya gotta love it.

 

[sadakoyamamura]

man, i feel so good
'reputation' does inspire
satori-san, thanks!

 

[Nezumi]

Safe in it's shell,
while the currents flow
the pearl is the victim of the sea.

or maybe i should use 5-7-5

i sit here typing
having to pay a big bill.
stupid telephones.

Jref has much info.
The website of japanese.
will it ever last?

Anger held inside.
told and not left to reside.
my regrets don't hide.

 

[sadakoyamamura]

My, my what a day
Phones ringing, more paperworks
I'm glad there's Jref!

 

[Saithan]

a shot...

Well it might not be good, but I remember from my time in elementary school of hearing this one:

There is a swimming pool
A dog is taking a leak
It's raining.

And I am still asking myself, "what on earth did I think at the time".

 

[phelonious]

not many of these could actually be considered haiku. for japanese haiku you need to learn classical japanese first.
