Haiku Musings For Quiet Contemplation

[Jazzy1]

At a certain age
Every goodbye seems to be
Practice for the last

In my thread description, I said, Please share your HAIKU. Only 5-7-5 is welcome here. Thank you.

And mine IS 5-7-5 and for some reason you are saying it isn't. And you want a rewrite of something that is compliant?
Okay then.
Just say you don't like it.

No rewrite necessary!


I
am
a
lou-
-sy
po-
et.


How do you figure I am wrong?

I count seven too.

 

[That Lady in PA]

I count seven too.

THANK YOU!
I was going crazy counting and recounting.

 

[Elsie]

Must count up to five.
Next, seven must be counted.
Can't count? Forget it.

I apologize. I looked at your 2nd line again, @That Lady in PA, and according to How Many Syllables, poet is 2 syllables.

@That Lady in PA, I did not realize what you were sharing with your words lined up underneath each other like this:

I
am
a
lou-
-sy
po-
et.

I thought it was a glitch in the text editor. If you had shared it like this: I am a lou-sy po-et, I think I would have more quickly understood what you were saying. I would have noticed that you were saying that poet is considered 2 syllables.

IN THE COUNTRY


The town leads to woods.

Woods give way to countryside.

Everything spreads out.

The pic is a folk art watercolor painting that I did.

Nice pic!

Where did April go
Tomorrow will be July
And fall cant be far

I was emphasizing the SEVEN syllables, having each on a line.

And it is not that I consider poet to have two syllables... it actually has two syllables.

So why did you say my second line did not have seven and that I need to rewrite it? You never answered that...

THANK YOU!

I don’t count syllables often and I made error on mine first time I posted it. But I noticed and it was easy to fix.

Nice pic!

I'm really enjoying the watercolors too. You have quite a lot of talents to make time for, DaisyArtsy.

Wow, Jazzy. Good one.

 

[Paco Dennis]

Thanks for sharing your rewrite. Now you're at 6-7-5.

Life, a mystery
And unable to be solved.
Oh well, tough cookies.

 

[Pepper]

I am so angry
Cannot take environment
Of the great sickness

 

[Elsie]

Anger is useless,
Only use of common sense
Mends environment.

Cat Haikus:

You never feed me.
Perhaps I sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.

The rule for today.
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.

Shoe laces right there.
Must attack at once.
Didn't know that was you.

Dog haiku:

The mailman appears.
He is here to murder us.
Arf-arf-arf-arf-arf.

 

[Babs2u]

Anger is useless,
Only use of common sense
Mends environment.

Anger is forceful
Better than complacency
With no bold action

 

[Elsie]

Anger is forceful
Better than complacency
With no bold action

Pound opposition
Don't meekly stand back silent.
Woosies we don't need.

 

[MarkD]

Prose tries but some things

will not be pinned down by words

But poetic’ly.

Toddler haiku:

I want nuggets now.
No, I hate nuggets now. Waaah!
You cannot win, Mom.

Excellent! It seems to me. You deserve many accolades!!!

After 3 attempts I deserve fanfare and fireworks, for I am Independent of Haiku.

 

[Pepper]

Don't know what to do
Have a decision to make
My head will explode

Computer Haiku:

The black screen of death.
Files, photos, all are gone now.
None can hear your screams.

So sorry. I lost a whole folder of artwork and other files a couple of years ago. I thought life was over but I've done ok. I was able to recover a few files and I can re-scan others. I do find that some things I think I will need one day I never end up needing.
