Return of Friday Haiku

[bdog]

cold air from Alaska steeps
drops upon Cascades depositing prime soft pow
day filled with smiles

[lemon boy]

High pressure arrrg
sunny and breezy forecast
big plans or no plans

[crashnburn'd]

cold air from Alaska steeps
drops upon Cascades depositing prime soft pow
day filled with smiles

five seven five bitch
don't start thread without knowing
you fucking gaper

[lemon boy]

A haiku is not
merely a 17 syll
able sentence, see

[bdog]

five seven five bitch
don't start thread without knowing
you fucking gaper

old way of writing haiku
says five seven five only haiku form
time past for such nonesense

try looking further into the art of haiku ... and don't take this thread or yourself so serious ... you fucking gaper

[crashnburn'd]

old school is the way
regardless of what you say
your's is gaper way

[Odin]

fuck you, you fucking
fuck, believe that our Haiku
Will conform to rules

Indeed the holy idea
Of Haikus needing five seven
five is beyond error

Much love we will have
for you though, just take it easy
and do not be dumb

[lemon boy]

Odin, please refer
to the above rule on form
long sentence non-ku

[Odin]

My apologies
Lemon Boy I have errored
May my bowels rot

and fall into a
disorganized putrid smelling
pile of rancid meat

[vinzclortho]

snowboard tomorrow
haven't ridden in long time
MY NECK AND MY BACK! [/Friday reference]

that last haiku sucked
totally haven't practiced
still 5-7-5 BITCH!


stoked to cougar hunt
in bars around North Conway
bag, tag, let it go

[bdog]

upon awakening on Friday morning
haiku fills mind wanting to be written
to delight and bring smile

form follows function always perhaps
poems are from heart and bring soul
ice on steps today caution


Defining the haiku form

My own quick definition might be:

What is the proper form for haiku in English? Well, a simple definition might be a poem that captures a ‘moment in time’, usually involving nature, and as perceived or experienced by the poet. It is recorded in less than seventeen syllables, usually in three lines, and usually with the center line longer than the others, sometimes with a seasonal reference, or ‘kigo’. Although many times a 5-7-5 pattern is prescribed as a ‘firm’ rule in rudimentary definitions of haiku this is not supported by research, translation, or history, even in Japanese haiku.
