Haiku Hedonism (tm)
I've always been fascinated by Haikus. They're a simple and elegant form that can evoke much meaning and depth of feeling. However, they can also be great fun, too. The following are a couple of my favourites. The first is from Stephen King's novel,
IT, the second is from the 1995 Lucasarts RPG,
Full Throttle.
your hair is winter
fire - january embers
my heart burns there too
road rises upward
forehead smiles for the pavement
cranium tastes bad
So, you get the idea. What I'd like you, gentle reader, to do, is submit your own work for inclusion on this very page, and together we can make
Regz's Diaryland Haiku Hedonism a success.
But what do you need to know? Well, the only rules out of the many that can be applied to the form that I am going to insist are used are the following:
1) That the Haiku has three lines
2) That the syllable structure follows the 5-7-5 rule: 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, five in the third
Your Haiku can be about anything you like, humorous or serious, whacky or mundane. So get writing, and then you can submit your finished piece
here. Happy haikuing.
Behold the Haikus
autumn city streets
self aware but not human
lights out, time to die

I lay in water
I look at the stars and smile
You shine like they do
