Best haiku wins $1000

Yonder crescent moon
Silver opulence beam bright
Silent in the night

What have I given
Freely no pretense
Not enough as yet

The ones that have passed
Leave their imprint on your mind
Never really gone

His own perfection
Art manifested
Shaped into a sphere

Pure androgyny
Sophia separated
The fall of Adam

From heat came chaos
Hyle , matter, chaos, black frost
Order from it came

Fire of nature
The essential spirit fire
Not material

Joe sniffs kids often
Massive corruption China
Hunter fucks his niece

Why do we let them
Not protest in unison
Why are we lacking

gravel crunches crisp
lullaby softens the grip
sing on the porch swing

They do as they please
The sheep follow them blindly
As with blinders on

Glance we are all ants
in a line we drink their wine
still shine we are stars

Lady, you've got some good things happening. I love reading your pensive reflections.

Im like an open book . Mixed feelings on it but I’m getting there. You have helped me by the way .

It's only 'cause you see we are similar.

Artists can see more
than the squint of a closed heart
sunder air sequence

read for we have need
under our thick crispy shell
deeper red we bleed.

one thousand dollars
it was worth a try, indeed
twas but a failure

Two traveling souls
Elements of dark and light
Sisters meet mid flight

Pool :)

On this thread I jump
I'm going to try sonnets
On this thread I live

14 lines...I'll update as I write. So view updates are saucy.

A sonnet is a fourteen line poem in iambic pentameter with a volta, or thematic turn.

The specific structure of a sonnet varies depending on its style, which can include Petrarchan, Shakespearean, or Spenserian, among others. (ie cheesy)

Many sonnets are part of a sonnet sequence, or series of sonnets on the same theme.

Iambic pentameter is a rhythm of five feet per line.

Each foot has one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, making a total of ten syllables per line.

Although the basic structure of a sonnet is always iambic pentameter, most poets vary the meter slightly to add interest and emphasize certain words.

oh sheet...this will be hard. I am escaping this post as the outpost to update. I might need be drunk to drum this funk.

fuck forgot to post the signifcance of the roast

Carefully I dig deeper to find breath
Like the winter I smell smoke upon breath death
My feet can sense the cool grass underneath

I sensed a mild refrain of my knowledge
Could we determine our strength in one day
Oh If only I could go to Norway
You know I can sleep in the day and night
And I can speak without words it's so true
What would traveling mean to me and you?

We enter this world
Into a swimming pool on fire,
Rescue is God’s Wings of Love

Suck dick bitch
Nobody cares
See you tomorrow

Saw a poster who didn't know what a Japanese Haiku was
...better late than never!

What is a Haiku?

Some Characteristics of Haiku

An English-language haiku sometimes contains of 17 total syllables
English-language format is sometimes composed of 3 lines of 5-7-5 (syllables)
2 simple subjects are often placed in juxtaposition
These 2 subjects are often separated by punctuation
A keen or unusual observation is made by comparing the two subjects
Haiku often contains a seasonal reference
Poems are traditionally about nature or the natural world

It's a lot more complicated than we thought, right? Traditional haiku usually focuses on two very simple subjects while providing an interesting or unexpected perspective. Like a good joke, the first part can serve as the set-up, while the second part delivers the punchline.

A Haiku for my current thread on Jordan Maxwell's death:
Thread: UPDATE: pg. 3: Headlines coming soon? "Jordan Maxwell autopsy finds Maxwell was Murdered. Video

:MaxwellNotice:
R.I.P. Jordan!

Maxwell's Haiku:

Jordan Maxwell passed
...He ranted against religion
...NOW...he knows the truth.


The Oracle's Cookie

This is hard lol

Sonnets require a fucking week to speak
from the mind to pen if can't we are weak
who's to say that the light from within deep
if better for the world silently keep.
the light the shadow the space between bars
the sighs the refrains the anger from mars
nothing should be bridge a gap as so far
I will lay down pen when counting to ten.
Two more lines I scream in finger tapping
My tea is cold and lacked subject insane.
