Today's poet

[Derby Tup]

Got my own BG haka/haiku

I've started,
so i'll finish!

Forgive me for being fick, but whats a haiku

Its a japanese three line non rhyming poem. Often the lines have 5-7-5 sounds or syllabols (sp?) but it doesn't have to. There's reference to the seasons and the first two lines are connected in some way whereas the third is a move away. If you use Google there's a wikihelp site highlighted, which explains far better than I can I'm addicted

Good morning...isn't everyone getting good at haiku (myself excluded!), the BG ones are great!...here is my morning haiku....

I sip tea
leaves under galloping feet
in my mind

(looking forward to a run with other folk tonight!)

[freckle]

not haiku, or running and more about "human" nature than the world outside but i like it....

your little voice
Over the wires came leaping
and i felt suddenly
dizzy
With the jostling and shouting of merry flowers
wee skipping high-heeled flames
courtesied before my eyes
or twinkling over to my side
Looked up
with impertinently exquisite faces
floating hands were laid upon me
I was whirled and tossed into delicious dancing
up
Up
with the pale important
stars and the Humorous
moon
dear...
How i was crazy how i cried when i heard
over time
and tide and death
leaping
Sweetly
your voice

Reached the peak,
Heart thumping, Lungs burning,
Now like Eagle fly.


Not sure if done Haiku right but here is my attempt anyway.
