What is this, a poem for ants!
Oh terrible and wretched affliction
thine own self bestowed unknown trickery
Repressive eclipse—
Waking moments turned jaded reverie
Respite after paroxysm episodes
Plead for thine eyes; life’s mirage. Soft spoken,
drink blissful nepenthe—
and descend forth to tenebrous token

Are…are you trying to confuse me??
Anyone have a haiku so we can keep this poem miniaturisation going?
And yes I am trying to confuse you.
Good show!! 😀
…sorry, I don’t do haiku
Good haiku is phenomenally difficult. Most people end up accidentally writing senryu and not knowing the difference.
You sound like a man with a haiku, care to share?
I could probly give you one if I could remember how boring I use to be! lol jk
I can’t remember how to make a proper haiku
In the not so distant past, i have spent countless hours trying to wring “good” haiku out of my 99% english-speaking brain… but i realized i wasn’t good at it. I’m waayy too verbose. And not nearly Japanese enough. So no, i don’t “have” a haiku. Perhaps someday i will end up with one.
Well I wish you luck
@serotonin-
Your really smart! Cant figure out… Never mind! I get it! Your too smart for your own good…that’s why your here huh? Too many windows and doors swing violently open in your own mind?
I’d have to look up a lot of the words your using…..college educated maybe?
Yeah..your a smart person. Are you a guy or gal? (Can’t remember if you told me)
Lol most of the words were just words of the day that I have now forgotten. Im in Canada so it would be university educated if I managed to get that far.
I am a guy
So your going into college? ….dude? lol
Is this a haiku?
the winter is close
drink pentobarbitol
no spring to be seen
If it is then its appropriate. If not , well whats another failure!
Well my professional opinion on haikus is that they have to be short, allude to nature and make little to no sense, more of a by product of the shortness I think. Or can be said to leave interpretation to the imagination of the reader. So two out of three aint bad. Just the quickest of reads on wikipedia and the allusion to nature seems to have to be a metaphor for the human condition. So depending on a persons interpretation of what you meant by, “winter is close…no spring to be seen”. I would dare say that is three out of four.
