charmed sisters?

[LitaPo]

Hello Patis,
hahaha no , not really, just buddies for life.
Anyway, I made a mistake.
In my haste to answer Veron, I typed the wrong word.
So my poem should be:

Together
We finally meet
Here, ever!!!

LOTS OF LOVE, JOY AND LAUGHTER,
LitaPo

[patis]

buddies for life, eh? that's nice. im glad you found everlasting friends. they're really treasures.

[ctivnan]

buddies for life, eh? that's nice. im glad you found everlasting friends. they're really treasures.

That's so true! :friendz: A true friend is like a needle in a haystack! :yey:

[patis]

That's so true! :friendz: A true friend is like a needle in a haystack! :yey:

what you'd need then is a pitchfork to sift through the hay, cows and horses to feed off of your search, a good magnet so you can find it easier, a piece of cloth to pin the needle to, and the will to find it.

of course, the strength to stand fast when you lose it.

[LitaPo]

treasures true
buddies for life too
all the way!

[patis]

treasures true
buddies for life too
all the way!

are you, by any chance, related to that chinese poet Li Po? there's quite a resemblance... save for obvious differences like you're a girl and you write in japanese style.

[patis]

and speaking of which, check out one of his poems (lifted from http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~yangzw/libai1.html)

Drinking Alone with the Moon
From a pot of wine among the flowers
I drank alone.There was no one with me --
Till raising my cup, I ask the bright moon
To bring me my shadow and make us three.
Alas, the moon was unable to drink
And my shadow tagged me vacantly;
But still for a while I had these friends
To cheer me through the end of spring....
I sang. The moon encouraged me
I danced. My shadow tumbled after.
As long as I knew, we were born companions.
And then I was drunk, and we lost one another.
....Shall goodwill ever be secure?
I watch the long road of the River of Stars.

[LitaPo]

relative?
live? not even near
Pinoy here

[patis]

oh, here's another one for you and your two friends! also by Li Po:

Parting at a Wine-shop in Nan-king
A wind, bringing willow-cotton, sweetens the shop,
And a girl from Wu, pouring wine, urges me to share it.
With my comrades of the city who are here to see me off;
And as each of them drains his cup, I say to him in parting,
Oh, go and ask this river running to the east
If it can travel farther than a friend's love!

source: http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~yangzw/libai1.html

[LitaPo]

Parting time
Yes, I have to go
eat, I must

[patis]

Parting time
Yes, I have to go

LitaPo, :thankyou:

don't know haiku
but I thank you

important thing

LitaPo, :thankyou:

It is easy to do.
you just say what you want to say by using the 5-7-5 or 3-5-3 form. You count the syllables like my name LitaPo would count as 3 syllables. That would be the first part of the haiku. The second part would have to be words that now have 5 syllables all in all and the last part of the Haiku would again be word or words with 3 syllables. That would be the same if you want to use the 5-7-5 form. Also, in English, it maybe useful to use stresses instead of syllables in which case the 2 stresses -3 stresses - 2 stresses form can be used.

LitaPo
looks forward to see
more of you.
:welcome:

[patis]

hey litapo! you did it! congratulations!

[LitaPo]

hey litapo! you did it! congratulations!

Thanks to you

[sbenosa]

Hello Veron!
Nice thread you started. :-)

Lemme try:

"'Til tommorow, friend,"
The sunset whispered to me.
She kissed me goodnight.

[sbenosa]

Haiku, ain't it cool?
Come write one, or even more.
Have fun, it's for all.

____________
For those who hate rhymes, sorry. Can't help it! :-)

[cmo]

Hey, I can see
that all of you
are enjoying here
what is this? What's haiku?

:sign_lol:

[sbenosa]

Hi CMO.

Haiku is a short form of poetry consisting of 17 syllables: 5-7-5.
It's usually about nature, but writers now write haiku of any theme.

:-)

[cmo]

Hi Sbenoza,

Thanks for the explanation
I hope I will learn
Coz I don't know how to count syllables!

:c_o_o_l:

[patis]

five, four, three, two, one
that's five syllables above
my haiku: the end.

LOL this is cool.

[racz_jay25]

I'm not really good
in writing poems like haiku
here I am trying

[racz_jay25]

The last time I wrote
I was high school sophomore
Its a decage ago

[racz_jay25]

Oh Thank you veron
For starting this haiku thread
Really fun to read

[racz_jay25]

How's the weather there
It is very windy here
Spring is really near..

Hello gAn!
Thank you for coming over to my blog, and for the kind words. That's my main blog, so I put in there everything I hold dear. Do come again and make yourself at home. Its door is always open for everyone! :-)

Have a good day! :-)

[sbenosa]

Here's a haiku for someone who's far away. Freshly baked...


IF
If in the morning
I don’t see your face,
I die a little.

And if at some nights
I don’t get a goodnight kiss,
I die a little.

You are my sunshine;
I live for your love, your kiss.
Your smile, I so miss.

You are my only
And you are my now
But don't be my only now...

What do you guys think? I wrote this when my frail heart was breaking.

[sbenosa]

Hello Veron, hello friends!

Please allow me to post this thing I've written two years ago. It's not really a haiku but it's close because the metering is 5-7-5-7-5. It's also not a Tanka because a tanka's metering is 5-7-5-7-7. It's just an experiment I did before which I playfully called CHAIKUS. Hehehehe. (I'd write a new one but my brain's kinda drained at the moment).

I hope you don't mind. I just wanna contribute to this thread.

Sunset by the Sea

Fiery shades of red
Dazzle across the canvas;
A tint of orange
Lingers in the Painter’s brush;
Hush the vast expanse.

Enchanting music
Of waves coming home to shore
Serenades the Sun
Lulling in the horizon;
Precious peace, she hums!

Breathtaking colors
Gleam in the serene waters;
A few shades of gray
Serve as the tableau’s backdrop;
What a lovely sight!

Two souls sit in awe
Enthralled by the glorious scene
Flashing above them
The masterpiece, the treasure
Of the Master’s hand.

Two hearts deeply touched
Go warm and supple and lithe
Turn to each other
Talking of love and prom’ses;
A soft vow is made

As gleaming silh’ette
Gracefully makes her entrance;
And li’l sparklers
Disperse themselves far and wide;
Night has fin’lly come.

With dear friends around.

Simple yet so fun

It’s summer; the sun’s
smiling brightly, but autumn
reigns inside of me.

Like a tree who just
lost a leaf, inside my heart
there is grief.

I’m like a vast sky
on stormy nights, forsaken,
bereft of bright stars.

Thoughts of yesteryears

Haiku is a Japanese poem composed of 17 nos usually arranged in 5-7-5 structure, so my second haiku fits the definition. I meant it as a joke though.

Thanks ctivnan for the encouragement and the warm felicitations. I always love to be funny because I like to make people happy and hear them laugh. I also like to live life 'La vida loca' way but I can also be very profound and philosophical at times.

As for me haiku I'll try to do better and churn out more so I can have an anthology of my literary attempts. I'm still searching for the sonnets which I penned during my highschool days.

Here's another Haiku experiment from me:

Lift my weary soul,
Mend my lonely broken heart,
Oh love where art thou?:crying:

[pinoypower]

Today I'm in the mood for love so here's another Haiku outpouring:

Mellowed and aged
Like rhum in an oak barrel
Taste and drink my love.:love3:

Wow! I remember when I was in high school and got addicted to HAIKUS. It's almost a decade ago. Let's see if i could still create one.... :idea:

Oh merciful God
Let the clouds go somewhere else
We'll party tonight.

hope this will do for now... hehehehe

:perspiring::D:perspiring:

[pinoypower]

A friendly haiku this time:

You were there for me,
In laughters and in sorrows,
Friends are forever.:)

[veron]

so glad haiku is being rediscovered...:)

friends are like goldmines
so hard to find but last long
a real great treasure

[luckycharm15]

Life is wonderful
no doubt it's so meaningful
worth to be nurtured

[mitchiecruz]

a strong tree you are
standing tall amidst all
good days and bad ones

:clown:

[pinoypower]

Another haiku from me:

Secret Love

Trapped inside my heart
A fervent love unspoken
Waiting to be free.:love3:

[mitchiecruz]

Failures do exist
But would never define you
Be brave and strong.

:rain:

[veron]

dream is our heart's wish
escaping when we're asleep
making us feel glad

[luckycharm15]

The moments we share
Forever kept in my heart
Come what may, I'll stay

:inlove2: :Cat Smiley 6105: :inlove2:

[pinoypower]

Dream Girl:cute3:

Fresh as a flower
Bathed in the morning dew
Oh! girl of my dream.

[veron]

yes... keep on dreaming
dreams do come true...who knows when
what joy it will bring

[veron]

cool breeze coming in
a serene and tranquil dawn
another great day!

[luckycharm15]

Bidding goodbye hurts
Like a bomb that explodes loud
Inside, makes heart bleed..


:ontherun:

[veron]

mothers are the best...
loves unconditionally..
fond memories left...

[veron]

cold wind on my face...
another day had passed by...
missing you so much...

[pinoypower]

The wind blows gently
Touching my body and soul
Whispering your name.:smitten:

[veron]

mem'ry of your face...
haunts my mind and can't sleep...
how i miss you so...

[sbenosa]

Hello folks! I miss english-coffee!
I miss this page!

How's everyone? Still having fun, I hope?

[veron]

Hello folks! I miss english-coffee!

[veron]

fun being with friends
sharing thoughts and laughters too
another day pass...

[ctivnan]

joy of life
beating its way to
feel the love

[veron]

each moment with you
gives me the feeling of bliss
oh that's love i guess...

[la i]

A plump strawberry
Nestled in frothy cream bed
Waiting to be picked!

[veron]

chocolate and cream
a mouth-watering delight
for the young and old...

[skykeeper]

I love Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the Pooh loves to eat honey
Bees chase Winnie the Pooh.

[la i]

Fresh from the oven
Bread wafting herb fragrances...
Irresistible!

[veron]

feeling so happy...
each moment spent with you...
time drags on and on...

[skykeeper]

poem makes me so glad
i can't wait to read one more
it opens myself

[veron]

speak from the heart...
it's all we have to do here...
elates us so much...

[la i]

When hearts are speaking
Truth triumphs as trust prevails,
And friendships fl:eek1:ourish.

[veron]

the line of friendship....
comes from the hearts and souls
links pals together...

[skykeeper]

friends make us so glad
they give us much smile to face
the world, turns around

[la i]

Glad hearts, sad hearts share
Hard choices, wise voices, warm
hugs...Consolation.

[veron]

time passes fast
when we're happy and in love
no cares in the world...

[skykeeper]

come here and join us
we have a time to relax
peace of mind is one

[la i]

cool breezes blow as
gentle rain cascades
down the windowpanes

while downy pillows
and silken sheets embrace me
in my bed-haven.

[spagotie]

It is easy to do.
you just say what you want to say by using the 5-7-5 or 3-5-3 form. You count the syllables like my name LitaPo would count as 3 syllables. That would be the first part of the haiku. The second part would have to be words that now have 5 syllables all in all and the last part of the Haiku would again be word or words with 3 syllables. That would be the same if you want to use the 5-7-5 form. Also, in English, it maybe useful to use stresses instead of syllables in which case the 2 stresses -3 stresses - 2 stresses form can be used.

LitaPo
looks forward to see
more of you.
:welcome:


can it be considered haiku?
even if the five seven five syllables
are not in proper consequence?


i hope that
japs won't comment HAI naku!
gomen nasai LitaPo-sang!

:OOPS:

[sbenosa]

RENDEZVOUS

Blank are her brown eyes
As they stare into the void
Too dark is the night.

For the moon is tired
From her nightly rendezvous
She won’t come tonight.

Crickets, they’re silent
They’ve been told many a time:
Sometimes, songs torment.

Ev’n the oft nice wind
Is in sour mood; tonight a
Bitchy company.

Yet, in the darkness
She sits a-waiting for peace
To hand her its grace.

She lifts a finger
To lips unpainted, unkissed
No sensation there.

She heaves a faint sigh
As she softly shakes her head
A whimper is heard.

Then crystals glisten
Building up then falling down,
Forming a river.

Rolling down the planes
And slopes of her pallid cheeks
Down to her soft neck.

Sad are her brown eyes
When she shut them off the void
This night dared offer.

She too is quite tired
From her daily rendezvous
Yet she came tonight.

haiku is really the 5-7-5 or 3-5-3syllable form...otherwise, it's not haiku.... i like your sense of humor though....:flashy:

[sbenosa]

Where are you my friends?
Your haikus, balm of my soul
Let me read some more!

[veron]

what a day it is..
friends came along to have fun,,,
bringing lots of joy...

[veron]

another day dawned..
sun peering through the sky
a morning so calm...

[veron]

all are rushing by
such a busy day for sure
start of the week...

[veron]

clouds are darkening...
rains will start pouring down.
drenching the dry fields..

[mitchiecruz]

funny it may seem
but joy you always bring
everytime you're here...

[mitchiecruz]

you may not know it
i love the way you love me
miles or inches apart

[veron]

ahh... what a feeling
great comfort it brings me dear
having you near me...

[mitchiecruz]

i always have you
but not at all, i wonder
when can you be mine...

[pepot1968]

i always dream of you.
but the same thing happens
i woke up, you're gone

[veron]

sunny but am blue
mixed emotions i now feel
missing you so much....

[mitchiecruz]

i'm bleeding right now
how can i make it stop
please tell me how

[Maria_maria]

and speaking of which, check out one of his poems (lifted from http://www.dpo.uab.edu/~yangzw/libai1.html (http://www.dpo.uab.edu/%7Eyangzw/libai1.html))

Drinking Alone with the Moon
From a pot of wine among the flowers
I drank alone.There was no one with me --
Till raising my cup, I ask the bright moon
To bring me my shadow and make us three.
Alas, the moon was unable to drink
And my shadow tagged me vacantly;
But still for a while I had these friends
To cheer me through the end of spring....
I sang. The moon encouraged me
I danced. My shadow tumbled after.
As long as I knew, we were born companions.
And then I was drunk, and we lost one another.
....Shall goodwill ever be secure?
I watch the long road of the River of Stars.

I love this poem! It's the only Li Po I know :)

[Maria_maria]

This is my shot at haiku -- This should sum up one of my life's principles.


Choose to be happy
You will find as time goes by
A new formed habit

:hey:

[veron]

you're getting the hang of it maria!!! good one...

wonder what is love...
why do men and women fall...
so much emotions...

[veron]

day seems promising...
am filled with great excitements
challenges await...

[veron]

time for all seasons...
just passes by when am with you...
hot or cold... no cares..

[sbenosa]

Hello friends! Missed you here at Veron's thread.... one of my faves! :-)

Here's a haiku for you. It was not originally a haiku, but couldn't write one and I really wanted to post here, so I just rearranged this one, which I just wrote, to fit the 5-7-5 metering of the haiku. Hope I did not err in the counting of the syllables. Hahaha.

Also, please note that the last line is a free verse.



My Door

It stayed open.
It did not think of moving
To stand in your way

When you walked out with
The suitcase that emptied the
Closet of my dreams.


It stayed un-open.
It did not stir when you knocked.
It did not welcome

the dulcet hymn of
the thousand promises you
carried in your trunk.


No, there is nothing wrong
With my door. It works real fine.
It opens, closes

But on its own now,
No longer according to
Your whims. The hinges

have learned
To say,
“Enough!”

[veron]

rainy days ahead
i feel low and i feel blue
black mood as outside

[veron]

feeling blue was i
when i received your message...
great joy it gave me...

[veron]

what a great party...
many friends joined in the fun...
so happy are we....

[veron]

what a joy to see...
all of our happy faces...
what a great success...

pictures never lie...
echoing the true feelings...
a great remembrance!

[veron]

haiku is so cool
expressing thoughts and feelings
an outlet for us...

[ctivnan]

together we live
cherish our time together
our hearts beat as one

:lovesick: :inlove: :lovesick:

[veron]

i love chocolates...
be it icecream or cookies...

[veron]

Christmas is nearing...

[Maria_maria]

Happy thoughts abound
Joyful hearts wrapped snug in warmth
Melting like butter

:lurk:

[veron]

cold breeze in the air...
signaling that yuletide's here...
joy for everyone...:dance:

[veron]

feeling great am i
peacefully so happy too
day of the heart's here...

[veron]

just another day
but love is filling the air
and sweetness abounds...

[q_sharon]

a fleeting moment
of love expressed in glances
wordless affection

smiles were so verdant
"hellos" after "hellos", ah
just started it all.

sharing deeper thoughts
while watching sunset along
the bay, God, it rained.

tucked me in his arms
it was rainfall that wet us
blessed, confirmed love was.

[q_sharon]

kimchi, denjang guk,
healthy food Koreans feast,
Lady Q loves too!!

[q_sharon]

My three little angels
Koy and Mako and Yyel
happy, they make me.

[mitchiecruz]

wow! i never thought
this will come alive again
hope it will go on...

[mitchiecruz]

i had dreamt of you
smiling laughing
looking so happy

[veron]

nice invitation...
very irresistible...
a warm talk with you...

[q_sharon]

glad to be back home
enjoying the company
of my whole family...

[q_sharon]

here or there, oh my
there or here i should decide
i must take time though...

[q_sharon]

diet oh diet
how can I ever keep thee?
i musn't indulge..

[q_sharon]

friends and family who
make a difference in my life
love sure completes me.

[veron]

good to see you're home
hope i get to see you too
am simply waiting...

[q_sharon]

keeping my fingers
crossed to meet you and the rest
of coffers,too.

[q_sharon]

losing dear family
is sure inevitable
with faith we accept...

[q_sharon]

with hope and faith we
say not "bye" but see you then
in resurrection...

[q_sharon]

hope to see fellow
coffeers and ms veron
the soonest we're free.

[veron]

[mandy]

thanks
mandy

[veron]

hi mandy! others use 3-5-3 syllables but the 5-7-5 is most commonly used... :)

rainy and gloomy
as we bid Cory goodbye
may she rest in peace...

[euqinimod]

I have been accused
of something i did not do
it is frustrating

[veron]

anticipation...
i can't keep my wits about...

[q_sharon]

it's been a long while
to hear from pinoypower
again, busy friend?

[q_sharon]

what makes us busy
makes us not ever happy
but what brings us peace.

[q_sharon]

create a clean heart
in me o my gracious Lord
and a right spirit...

[q_sharon]

what does it profit
a man if he gains the world
but loses his soul?

[q_sharon]

worship, waiting, work
all together must be one
to glorify God.

[q_sharon]

casting all our cares
upon Him for He careth
for you and for me.

[q_sharon]

family and friends
are timeless treasures to keep
to hold and to love.

[q_sharon]

start the day with pray'r
and the golden rule in mind
will end it just right.

By any chance, related to that chinese poet Li Po? there's quite a resemblance... save for obvious differences like you're a girl and you write in japanese style.

Płytki podłogowe (http://omni.pbdom.com.pl/Plytki_podlogowe-2238.html) są uniwersalnie wykorzystywane w kuchniach i łazienkach, lub tam gdzie panuje gigantyczna wilgoć, a koszty utrzymania czystości jest priorytetem.
