[Epicurean Pariah]

Haiku, ancient form of oriental prose or non poetry.
The format is:

5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables

Search Basho for others and examples.

It is concise, can be haunting and/or profound, and more difficult than one might expect.

I'll commit Hari-Kari first.

The woman of dreams
Comes to me in the night time,
When I am alone.

Let us see what you have to offer.

 

[Beverly]

Alone and afraid
Light Transforms into darkness
Day becomes the night.

Beverly!
You have it going on, you make me proud to be an Asper!!

edit, you know this could be the shortest thread ever. I am sooo
happy you are on board with this effort.
Upon 1 second of reflection it is only natural that you would respond.

Five syllables first
Only seven can come next
Five more for the end

I can't do this,it's too hard

Nitro, you have it going on.
And the delivery is perfect. You make me proud. I can't wait for the next poster.
I don't know or care what others call us, I call us genius.
Edit ps. I think the creative icon might be the least awarded and thus the highest possible award.

January road,
icy gray on black tarmac,
softly melting crust.

@Mia,that has the Japanese feel, the Zen like touch.
Remember the rules
1st line, 5
2nd line,7
3rd line, 5
Please read Nitro and count the syllables in each line. You are so close, cut and fill the thought to attain your goal, here or any other endeavor in life. Enjoy the challenge of adversity.

tachyon, I had to read that one twice. It's hard to count when laughing. Did your offering have a hint of hemlock as a garnish, or are you wry with a twist of lemon by nature. I never picked up that aspect before.

Perhaps a bit of both

Thanks!
I saw it as a challenge and gave it a shot.

SignOfLazarus , that was very good and I give bonus for compelling me to look up lordosis.
That was the second word this week. I used the new word to me as it rained today and I was on the road,"petrichor". Thank you!

Nitro, stick around cast votes re enter another, I can hardly keep up with this thread. Frankly I had no expectation of interest in this. The creative icon is the counter.

July is too hot
So are August, September
But October's nice.

Autie Haiku


Tater Tots bag opened
Seems they've changed the formula
What fresh Hell is this?

***********************************

My life is over
Agony beyond compare
Wrinkle in my sock.

***********************************

How I love it so
Bring harmony to my world
My routine it rocks!

***********************************

Dinosaurs are cool
For five hours can I expound
Your exit too quick

***********************************

Nerdy geekette smiles
No I won't fix your PC
Tidy your home though

***********************************

Gentle soul am I
tactile defensive also
ask before touching

***********************************

Fuddy-duddy me
needs things the same each day
respect the routine!

***********************************

Deep within myself
portable sanctuary
Autistic mindscape.

***********************************

Port-a-Potty gross
try pretend it's a Tardis
timelords must hold it.

***********************************

Thumb-screw to Aspies
the bane of our existence
thy name is smalltalk.

***********************************

 

[Mia]

Evensong calls me,
each time the darkness whispers,
I cannot think now.

Oh Warmheart I couldn't stop laughing, this is absolutely amazing especially this one:

Tater Tots bag opened
Seems they've changed the formula
What fresh Hell is this?



It's so much like the way I think, I used to love cheesies but they changed the formula so I couldn't eat them anymore. My spouse too, he was so upset when they changed the the quik packaging, that he couldn't speak, I kept saying 'Honey the rabbit is still there'.

Flinty, a true fact "haiku" for the northern hemisphere. Well done!

If I get to win
It won't be from not trying
I don't like to lose
