Haiku

[Qryos]

~ Got him!

the moment caught

of one that's confined

defining

{all the silly refining & such, 'ing' is also not allowed doncha know!}

... Ooops...

I was the one doing all that crap, huh?

dark steps on the screen

as the silly runs away

to avoid trouble

[Baphomet]

Hot the way she walks

That holy mother of god

I've got to get me some

[Qryos]

~

Everyone gets it

Sometimes harder than others

Holy desire

[The Greedy Monk]

Croyd said "Holidays,

can be the cruelest of times.

At least I got wine."

GM.

[Qryos]

Gently uncantered

Memories of warmth are poured

Thawing his winter

[Verisoph]

got a gut feeling

that's gnawing at my bones

life is a cliché

[yarvin]

In Azathoth's Name

behold the old ones

black goat with a thousand young

blood flows from her stone

Chris lies on the floor

bullet cure for sanity

you would do the same

all hope ends tonight

we have seen the gods' hunger

love was not enough

[Qryos]

silver rain comes down

valleys dark with ancient trees

dim with the onslaught

[idealdabbler]

silver rain comes down

valleys dark with ancient trees

dim with the onslaught

Glistening shiver

Glances off my email page

A blast from the past

[Qryos]

thunder and lightening

sparking spring rain and crickets

small toads awaken

[Qryos]

bird-call late at night

full moon casting deep shadows

path to the pond lost

... OK, not a haiku, more a senryu. Sorry.

[Qryos]

~ I've been thinking about my past & images...

lightening

across broken hills

the lake shivers

squirrel leaps

tree branches

swoop

cat set for a leap

on a wall

unmoving

... I know, they're not 'American' haiku. Call 'em 'shorts' then, don't care.

[Qryos]

~ OK, American Haiku...

Under this tall tree

The shadows of the storm pass

While puddles remain

[Whirling Dervish]

Contemplating Love

Feeling it drawing me nigh

It swallows me whole

[Qryos]

~ Thanx Vegas! Nicely done

In a darkened room

Voices fly in anger to

The video game

{OK, not good. Just, y'know...}

[Qryos]

Along the marsh edge

The trees stand as sentinels

Guarding the moonlight

[The Greedy Monk]

got a gut feeling

that's gnawing at my bones

life is a cliché

a cliché

requires definitely

broken eggs

Or was it ciché?

Je suis confus

[Qryos]

~ Just a few...

American & shorter form {not syllable counted}

snow dusting the trees

gentlly soft and soon too much

the baker's gone mad

<snow dusting trees

soft and soon too much

baker gone mad>

slanted light shimmers

like dragonflies flittering

across the water

<slanted light

dragonflies flitter

across the water>

small green frogs appear

so summer has come again

trees and roads are green

<green frogs

summer has come

trees and roads are green>

{green are trees and roads? Just an alternate thought.}

[lifeslittleuturns]

Tenderly we walk

Not knowing where we will go

Learning with each step

Opening new doors

Elevator going up

Knowledge on all floors

The view is clearer

Finding the path that is true

The right path for you

Staying up too late

The words flow through my fingers

Off to bed I go

[lifeslittleuturns]

Blue skies trees water

In quiet serenity

Rushing to the sea
