How can I sleep when
all my soul really wants to
do is dream awake

Sorry...No Haiku in this post.
I just wanted to say how impressive all the Haiku posts have been in this thread so far. All ridiculously good.

It took me over two hours to come up with my Haiku (Post 15), following the syllable rules of 5,7,5.
I wanted to do a Haiku on how uncertain I am of the changes that will happen these next few years. Took me those few hours (constantly changing words).

Your are just all too good at this!

It is not a easy thing to do .... but it is fun!

At one point, about 10 years ago, I began to try and write in a way where each word of a sentence used the same first letter!

That is rather fun and can take some time to create a post .... but there are 171,476 words in English, plus near another 50K obsolete words .... plus Slang and Jargon .... so it is possible to write sentences and paragraphs which all start with the same letter!

Passes time lol

Thanks for all the great Haiku .... I knew that you guys could do it

I don't mind some 'thread drift' .... it is all words anyway, so I wondered what you would think of this?

I did a search for "Famous Quotes" and this, below, came back first .... So a re-write where each word has the same letter to start!
Does it mean the same?
Can you improve it?

The quote:

If today was the last day of your life, would you still want to do what you are about to do today?

All with the same first letter:

Alone, anticipation's apex arrives. Assessing actions, are any apt?

And the same but using some Old English (which is fair as it is still words):

Ane, anticipation's apex alights. Are all actions aptly assayed?

I think both convey the same feeling .... last day .... what is important!

What do you think?

What do I think? OK, you asked. ~8D

Calling out OP!
Derailed his own Haiku thread!
Please

Also:

untruth detected:
“… it is all words anyway …”.
HAIKU IS HARD MATH!

Oops, only 4 syllables in my line 3, above...🙄

I count 5.

Counting syllables
Is sometimes not that simple
But the essence of what one intended to share will always remain

[Bill Ryan]

My dog has no eyes
But she still sees everything
She is my teacher

[Docim369]

O, unquenchable soul,
yearning in the night.
A dog wanders by,
his tail playfully wiggling.
Simplicity is King.

[East Sun]

What are my chances

of getting back to sleep, by

counting sheep, zero

[East Sun]

Globalist' are here

don't fear, they are not fighters

but cowards, they die

[Alekahn2]

Awaken this day
And embrace impermanence
The Sun shining bright

[Sue (Ayt)]

Kaleidoscope shakes
Tumbling all around it seems
Love prevails, hold on!

[East Sun]

HAIKU by any

name is still good poetry

that oft sooths my mind

[Casey Claar]

Oh how I loathe the
screaming leaf blower at dawn
please, please go away

[Johnnycomelately]

Re: Ray Kurzweil:... (thread)
got folks still worried and fuming.
OP, shame on you.

- and -

In his bad old days,
OP was a drive-by guy.
Glad to know he’s gained.


Cheery hello to my stranger (by agreement) John Khules. 👻😎♥️

The cave within the
heart beacons to us all with
equanimity

Hey criticle voice...

I don;t want your correction.

But I am gratful.

leave please me alone.

[East Sun]

asleep, not conscious

another world, not for us

who knows? those long gone

[Harmony]

Morning, I awake
Bird song on a gentle breeze
Then the world seeps in

[Alekahn2]

As I stare into
The face of brutality,
baby have mercy

[East Sun]

I never forget,

an injustice, real,

as I percieve it

[Casey Claar]

So bright!, so bright the
contrast pains my closed eyes to
sense the light of day.

Deeeep was the dreaming this morning. I was there, then in a hair's breadth I was here. Ouch. We usually have no idea how sharp our light is here.

Just read a tabloid:

So many lies my face hurts.

Please saw my head off
