 Literature › Post Your Haiku Poetry Here. by timpaker(op): 4:24pm On Feb 12, 2013*. Modified: 4:47pm On Feb 12, 2013 |
Haiku is known to be one of the most difficult form of poetry, though, very short but it seeks to speak on core and important issues. Definition It could be defined as a Japanese poem composed of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five moras (a unit of sound that determines syllable weight in some languages) respectively, usually about some form of nature. Although haiku are often stated to have 17 syllables,[2] this is inaccurate as syllables and moras are not the same. Haiku typically contain a kigo (seasonal reference), and a kireji (cutting word).[3] In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line and tend to take aspects of the natural world as their subject matter, while haiku in English often appear in three lines to parallel the three phrases of Japanese haiku and may deal with any subject matter. Example An example of classic haiku by Osita Joseph In Nature's Sanctuary Blue skies bless green beings Beauty holds eyes to ransom Love Sugars the soul Here is mine Death Call Nature's alluring call In deep snooze of death - Wailing night fades to bleak Please post yours. |

SHARKS OF THE AIR (I wrote this when i first boarded a plane) Oh not again! This sickening fright of height please Fade away like shadows of an unwanted guest Some thousand feet below This sight of vacuum seems so terrific, a daymare! Thick white smoky-breath envelops me In the belly of the flying shark Swimming through the oceanic sky Oh not again! My frail heart beats faster than a locomotive Cracking a fringe rib craving an escape Now snows of sweats froze me Yet I sat, 'luxuriously uncomfortable' Trying to force a fearful but friendly smile While looking away the steel-fish’s eyes Acting cool, while it swum through the oceanic sky Alas, it made way ashore - I, highly spirited but scared to move, damn not again! |

[b]THE BYSTANDER On one daring day, when the bruising sun was yet to set And unfold the opportunities of an anticipated and hopeful day. A bystander sprouted out from her shell into the dew Hardly aware of the blindfolds of reality She set off; ready to feed her eyes what it loves the most, doom! She is a racy schadenfreude. Across the street, a mishap called her name The voice she heeded with race of flashes To the scene, straining to snap a view for her sight Alas! She saw the fuss of commotion, and was marveled She bragged to herself ‘’I’m always on time’’… A metallic beast had kissed a monstrous millipede Conveying explosive water, but had unturned and wet the soil. People were engulfed in steams of smoke Singing the song of pain and perturbing panic. The sing-song travelled to her like the gong of a town-crier The echo drew the bystander closer as she gasped in awe Her frenzied soul almost ran amok in unpleasant excitement Her eyes were fixed on her flutter, while ignoring the wet floor she toed. Just then, a vestige of spark was wafted and veered towards her In seconds of second, she too was swimming in stream of flame She whirled out for help but echo ricocheted in steel of void To abyssal coma, As the day set, the sun smiled as she was bathed to ashes Then other onlookers after observing the osmosis quickly grabbed her remains And blew it to the waiting wind The Man above the earth sniffed it and frowned ‘’Another wasted soul loitering in damnation’’, He muttered. Then He cried rain down to cleanse others But as it showers, they stood back gracing the sight That holds their eyes- the bystander![/b]

[quote author=piano_girl]After watching the way burkina faso played against ghana tonite,I must confess that the super eagles aren't gonna have it so easy with the burkina babes..Those guys are physical,organized and dangerous.They could have beaten ghana with a wider goal margin if not for poor finishing...Let's put history aside.Truth be told...this present burkina faso team aren't a walk over.If we underestimate them,we would pay dearly for it.I expect it to be a tough game with end to end action,unlike the one sided game against mali..As a patriotic citizen,i hope nigeria eventually wins the cup..Goodluck to the eagles!!![/quote]Dude, you spoke my mind. I thought I was the only one who observed it. First I was supporting them against Ghana but when I saw the way they played for 120mins, I began praying for their downfall cuz such team could be detrimental on us lifting the cup. The Mukina faso guys played like they were on drugs. They never get tired of running, especially "Bansa". They are very strong and physical I just hope the SE will curtail them by bringing the cup home. |

. I care not if I swim in streams of tears When I go against all odds and its fears; To claim you, possess you and love - You wherever you are till it pains me And if need be I'd damn the space, beneath and above I'd travel long into the lights above the stars Without frights of burns and scars Just to search for your face amongst angels I'd shun or fight the world like rebels If men dares soil my chances, For I no more bask in obtuse trances. As I only wish to grace you with your smile and pointed nose Wearing purple dress and smelling like rose With the wind breathing- pause at every angelic step further Walking to embrace me to my bliss of lonely slumber |

I have one heart beating and yearning for you A breath in search of your lost aura - love, my guide to you, my pearls and ruby rock My trophy of happiness and reason for life I only wish to walk you on wet roses And slow - dance with you at potter's bay Path your hair and whisper you sweet words And ferry you around the paradises on earth But I'm choked with some killer words here With none-no-idea on how to voice it I only longed to show you rather than tell you on the sacred alter of love My freaking fingers frights in frost As i scribble these heavy words Baby....Baby...Baby...! Will you be my Val? |
