Haikus for You’z
Like it says on my ‘About’ page, sometimes I just do writing that has nothing to do with Leuk. So here’s a few haikus. The last one is my favorite.
eyes staring nowhere
just empty languishing thoughts
sad soliloquies
_______
some real plants feel fake
and some counterfeit look real
eyes lie and touch fools
_______
time ticks terribly
a lifetime slithers quickly
what will I become
_______
no paper and ink
only digital pixels
to wrap my words in
_______
clouds look imposing
but even the biggest fade
so what then of me?
_______
wind blows at my back
sails spread out port and starboard
fast quiet sailing
_______
trees bent by the wind
like old men all humped over
still give sparrows rest
_______
fried frog legs on ice
smoked salmon served with shelled shrimp
a vegan throws up
I like Clouds best, but they are all great. Fried made me laugh! Jim, how does your mind work? LOL.
Hi Tom. Thanks for commenting on my post. To answer your question… I’m not sure how my mind works… I’m not sure it does work… I’m not sure I have one.
Good links! I like the first one best.
Thanks, Jan. I’m not sure if these little ‘poems’ technically qualify as haikus. I did the 5/7/5 syllable structure but I think there are more detailed details which I ignored mostly because was too lazy to learn them!
