Haiku's





















After ending up in a mind numbing 4 hour driving school course the other day, I decided I would pass my seemingly never ending time there by playing with my I-phone and writing Haiku's.

A Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry that combines form, language, and content in a meaningful yet compact form. 

The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five syllables, the second line seven syllables, and the third line contains five syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three lines of poetry.

Here are the Haiku's I wrote  in traffic school

Sitting in a class
Prisoner of my mistake
Watching the clock spin

Colors of Winter
Define my clothing style
Florida is Hot

Opinions are ours
We can speak our minds freely
We cause Argument

Nutrition for mind
Food for thought, the food is fast
Mc Donald's everyday

Staring In a play
Singing, Dancing, and Acting
The theatre is life

A teacher can teach
A student may not listen
Knowledge can get lost

I Wrote those while I was sitting in class... here are some more that I'm coming up with now...

No One Reads this Blog
Away at the keys I type
My Talents Shall Grow

Early I Shall Sleep
Early Morning I Shall Rise
No Red Bull Needed

The Alarm Clock Rings
I Hit the Snooze Button hard
Back to my sweet dreams

No Girlfriend I have
No Girl-Friend I can Talk to
Oh Well, back to work

The cars that we drive
The Places that we travel
Waste alot of gas

My heart is a stone
Hardened by the girls I've met
These bitches aint shit

Haiku can be fun
It Brings Challenge to my mind
Im Writing it wrong!!!!


Crap....I just found out these poems need a theme to describe....ohh well, back to the drawing board!!

Okay, this is my attempt at a real haiku.

"Booty"

So Round and So Soft
A Man Just Cannot Resist,
A Woman's behind.

There you have it folk's, Haiku poems. If you find yourself bored, write some and share them on my blog!
