Haiku frenzy!

Hey folks, did ya miss me? I'm sure you did. I've been gone for like three days, right?

Anyway, today's post is going to be a very special one! Special I say!

RANDOM DUDE: Oh brilliant..

Shut up, Random Dude.

Anyway, I was rather depressed the day before. I was all cooped up in my room and everything. To make myself feel better, I decided to write poetry. (To the emos: I understand you now!) But not just any poetry...I wrote haikus! About twenty of them, too.

You all know what a haiku is, but to refresh your memory, a haiku is a poem of Japanese origin that consists of seventeen syllables. Five syllables for the first line, seven for the second line, and five at the bottom line. Haikus are generally about nature and all the little aspects about it. It's a restricting yet refreshing form of poetry, and I enjoy it. The only issue is that I kind of stink at it.

Okay, "stink" is an understatement.

But I was trying REALLY hard to write some good haikus yesterday, so I would like to tell you about my Haiku Marathon. Here it is:




It started when I sat at my computer. I decided instead of writing something hard like a play, I would write a haiku. Inspired by a picture of a butterfly, I began with....

Butterfly

cocoon breaks open wide
innocent butterfly soars
into tangled webs

Of course, by now I realized how addicting writing haikus is, so I wrote another.

Rose

the perfect flower
shall bend its head in goodbye
pink petal falls

And another..

Born

child breathes in deep
it clings to its first moments
determined to live

I wrote some others, too, but these are the "best". Anyway, I was feeling pretty good about myself so I decided to read some of my haikus to my sister. So I trotted up to her, smiling and hoping she would like them. This is what happened:

ME: Hey, sis, want to hear a haiku I wrote?

SIS: Sure, whatever.

(I read the haiku)

SIS: Oh my gosh! These are terrible! I want to vomit!

ME: ... (stalks off)


Let's just say that my heart was broken. And after your heart breaks, your writing goes into all out angry mode. In an revengeful act against my sister's cruel words, I wrote the following haiku.

Vomit

it is a strange green
and it is carefully strewn
all over my haikus

I read it to her. She freaked out, but laughed a lot. It was then I realized how much fun it is to write goofy haikus! Please enjoy some of the goofy haikus I wrote below! Some even have notes attached to them. Read those too.
