~ I saw 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou' as pretty much a remake
of Homer's 'The Odessey'...
Ulysses kept questioning the Gods & such, so he was given travails.
The sirens, the cyclops, etc.

~ OK, I'm gonna be a 'thing' once again!
An 'American Haiku' is 5-7-5 syllable count
There's nothing wrong with that!
It's just a different art form than what is considered 'Real haiku'
{not constrained by syllable count, but by imagery}
Sorta like this stuff...
Dark limbs cross the moon
Dancing with an autumn wind
Drawing me closer
dark limbs
cross the moon
autumn wind draws me
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna do another, I love the abreviation of it so.
Hey! At least I'm only doing my own!
Dark is the river
Moonlight strikes each gentle touch
Flashing to my eye
Nope. Couldn't do that one...
I like that! Haiku or not, it's pretty
Cherry tree blossoms
Cascade like a brides bouquet
Upon her headstone
& that's truer to traditional haiku imagery...
OK, I admit! I'm a true fan of American Haiku!!!

a gentle rain falls
golden leaves adorn the lawn
and so Autumn comes
~ Yes, I'm doing American haiku {sorta}
kitten on the bed
needing the kneading on us
winter's wind crying
... I still am a minimalist tho doncha know!
I love the fact that it can be interpreted in so many different ways.
I want everyone to see it differently,
& hopefully each time they read it it's different...
bent tree
ripe apples
fall
dark water
silent reflection
reformed

a nest in the eaves
broken by harsh winter winds
holds old memories
this house now empty
cold wind knocking at the door
only dust answers
shrill songs sung by wind
haunt the shattered places gone
of those once loved here
-
an owl calls away
the moon falling in the lake
shimmering star lit
~ That's an experimental run-on type.
I like it whether it's 'right' or not...
fat frog's summer song
creaky as this old wood chair
we're just as lazy

~ I call it 'Mirror Haiku' & find it a very cool usage of the form
Shivering moon-light
Shattered by the broken tree
Silver-lined river
Silver-lined river
Shattered by the broken tree
Shivering moon-light
~ I just enjoy it, y'know? Turning things up-side-down & side-ways is my speciality B)
When the wind changes
The young blossoms dance away
Early Spring is cruel
Early Spring is cruel
The young blossoms dance away
When the wind changes

Not meaning to carp,
I'm not fishing for a harp!
And I'm not that sharp.
{~ Shame! Shame! I know, that was awful
} ~ O.K., back to ???
Silver by the fire
The river passes silent
I see your outline
{American Haiku...
Japanese?... a Senryu B) maybe...
I'm just a student as is everyone else!}
~ P.S. Phil... that was coool!
-
~ OH! If I could cuss in this section you'd be getting it baaad!!! <_<
{Comparing me to... you are botha a bunch of POOOPS!!!
}So you say I'm nice
I even got told it twice!
Yeah right, I'm a saint?
Don't you try to taint
My Self with your pretty paint
I still have my vice
B) -
~ Oh KAYYY!!! Ya wanna play?
Phil is too Chinese
To speak as the Japanese
So he will do these
Western-type Haiku
'coloring-up' what a few
simpler words could do
I'm sure that he knows
It's only hot air that blows
From old Claire's bellows!
It's a comic's stance
That creates this sad clowns dance
For a smile perchance
Please try to forgive
The obnoxiousness I give
With a poets shiv
... Sorry...
Sometimes I'm just an evil evil person
B) -
~ Oh Phil... That's lovely!
& if ya call it Senryu it's fine
{Senryu is subjective haiku-type poetry B) }
... If you'd like, I can help ya haiku-way tho'
Snow whispers on glassCozy in my library
Fireplace dancing
... Perhaps?
cozy library
fireplace dancing
snow whispers
... I know it's very abbreviated, but most haiku is.
{Oh, & haiku has no capitalized letters...
DAMMM I sound like a neurotic bitch!
Please feel free to ignore everything I say!!!}

~ Oh, if you insist Dabby-Darling
shadow-limned hills
snowy sunset defined
softly grey
above jade waves
timelessly graceful
pelicans soar
an early frost
cherry-tree petals fade
to fall away
... I still can write American Haiku, y'know
Glad to see Dabby
Playing with his poetry
Missed his art and smile!
It's fun to rhyme too
With American Haiku...
So syllabic, true
Yet playing with words
Is so much fun it's absurd
The joy that is heard
{Yes, I'm a goof-ball
quite frequently too silly...
I just like to play
} -
~ Ooohhh! Dabby!!!
Love ya & miss ya

I've missed your wit & wisdom, ya poop! Where've ya been?
-
~ Ooo... I so enjoy the appreciation!
I feel cuddled & yummy...
Thanx so much Dearest!!!

~
Thanx guys!... I have more, y'know
headstones broken
forgotten granite
choked by weeds
chill mist drips
from a bare branch
mud and frogs
sunlight shivers
pelicans still
above jade
vine looped
rain rhythm drops
a beat

~ Here are a few of mine... they're not American Haiku {5-7-5} tho'.
I've been working on Japanese haiku,
which relies more on imagery count than syllabic.
rain drops
down a dark branch
reflection broken
hidden rabbit
listens with heart sobbing
the world is silent
whispered caress
leaves dancing on the wind
breath taken
... I know, the last one has several meanings, which Haiku shouldn't.
But it's still one of my favorites
