haiku writing as a way

Re: haiku writing as a way

I love the line from "Dharma Bums" which speaks of a haiku needing to be "simple as porridge and yet make you see the real thing"

snow covered stillness
in the early morning
sumatran coffee beans

Re: haiku writing as a way

Tonight it began snowing quite heavily, so heavily that I could see the steady, stream-like flow of shadows of the snowfall:

in lamplight
a cascade of shadows...
snowfall

the broom in the corner
wait quietly for you
simply sweeping

riding on juju
kannon caresses my neck
a mid evening walk

an old beer bottle
left in the woods
parties ended by the dawn

Gassho,

early morning sunlight,
with a smile...
all is as it should be...

early sun rising
birds searching for breakfast
waves just keep rolling

Hi Myoken, just a modest contribution to your haiku:

an old beer bottle
left in the woods
still partying

Everybody writes at dawn...Thank you Zak and Seiryu.

In and out
it all falls apart
I run away from the sound of the bell

Re: haiku writing as a way

bleak wind
I'd know her voice
anywhere


cleaning her house
after the funeral
mother's dust


autumn wind
my receding hairline


full moon
in the window
of the Krispy Kreme


New Age Church
the plastic flowers

Chin up. Modern Haiku shot me down three times before I got in.

Hi guys,

Sweet powdered geisha
poses for the camera
birds don't care

Don't belong to any haiku circle, don't do haiku competition, don't even call myself a poet, and have no intention of being praised by the generations to come and I call my haiku stuff:junk.
So we are all part of the same universal non haiku circle, dead haiku poets circle...

Nice to meet you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
