    Default Haiku .... current feeling in 3 lines!

    I saw this and it made me laugh



    So a Haiku is defined as:

    Quote haiku, unrhymed poetic form consisting of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively.
    https://www.britannica.com/art/haiku

    So what is your current "Haiku"?

    Best I do a quick one I guess lol

    This life encounter
    Seeming very demonic
    Smiling anyway


    You can check ya syllable count here:

    The threshold is wide
    am I awake or asleep?
    do I even care?

    Wondrous is the divide between 'here' and 'there'. - divide being an odd word for it. -- it makes all things whole again.

    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.
    Having lived in Japan for a short 4 months, I tried to write it in the vague Japanese way that they do their Haiku.

    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).

    You are just all too good at this!
