Time for some Haiku

[Diemen]

Ok, no serious stuff here, just thought it would be fun to do a haiku thread (I've seen haiku threads in some forums reach 1000 posts!). Feel free to join in and add your own

Why do all the girls
Love Larry Mullen so much?
They envy his boobs.

In this day and age
There is no one who rocks more
Than the band U2.

Post-concert reaction:
My mind is a blur,
Elevated above all,
I'm not coming down.

Next...

should anyone not know this

"What is Haiku?
Haiku is a very short poetic form, consisting of three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables each, and must have a special word which evokes the season. It is probably the shortest poetic form in the world, and its development is native to Japan, with no influence from either the West or China. The poet must be concise because of the brevity, while concentrating deep spiritual understanding into the poem. The haiku poet usually takes up the changes of nature which have impressed him in order to express the intangible world of the spirit.
Although it is difficult, haiku is not written only by professionals. Anyone can easily learn to use the form."

music lifts my soul
it elevates my senses
my mind is set free

A spring haiku...

tiny pink flowers
lit up by the setting sun
my eyes unfocus

 

[bicyclingfish]

flowers are abloom
love awaits reality
ready is my heart

hope anticipates
a beautiful day
joyful arrival

------------------
Come on, come on! Be good to me...

 

[Bacchus]

...and the knight
is set to freeze...

The heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touched by the thorns.
Thomas Moore, 1779?1852
