I was recently inspired to attempt writing Haiku. This inspiration came from my extremely talented friend Alyssa, (you can click on her blog and enjoy someone far more talented than the person you are reading now), and my favorite writer Richard Wright. Today is haikuesday, apparently, so enjoy my first ever attempts at these little Japanese poems.
Falling
Red leaves fall to earth.
Raked into piles, bagged, and dumped:
Beauty Forgotten.
Library
Knowledge lines the shelves
untouched, unread—dust covered.
God damn you Google!
DWI
Lights flash in the night.
Stumbling in the darkness,
Steel bars end my day.
NBA
The ball once bounced high,
but the ball bounces no more;
Deflated by greed.
Bashful
The fox trots away
hiding deep in the high grass.
Fox, come out to play!
Awake
The cute grey kitten
bounds and bounces on the bed
Stop I'm sleeping!!
Bowel Trouble
Grey cat eats a shoe
laces, tongue, sole: ate it all.
Grey cat can't poo.
Grey Gas
That grey cat farted!
Said it wasn't from her behind;
she tried to blame me.
i absolutely LOVE these! great job! the last two made me laugh out loud... but i *especially* liked the first two. yay haikuesday!
