Japenese poetry, consisting normally of three lines- 5 x 7 x 5 syllables.
See what you can come up with...
-Within the tree top
Urinations sudden urge
Tiny yellow drops

From my lofty perch
I see beyond the hedges
Sunbathing beauty

The leaves and bark fly
upside down past my face
My VT has failed
im climbing a tree
the leaves rustle in the breeze
earth bound i decend

The leaves and bark fly
upside down past my face
My VT has failed
This falling feeling
Is quite a tremendous rush
And then I say, OUCH!

-Wet line running knot
Muddy water on my lap
Climbing in the rain
Out to the branch tips
Feeling so free, here I go
Sudden rush of fear

you only live twice
once when your born
and when you look death in the face

-Oh my aching back
Might as well call Workman’s Comp
It’s thrown out again.

Sticks whip past my face
The searing pain hurts so bad
You suck, chuck 'n duck
:big-jump: :rockon: I did it, I did it, uh huh. uh huh
Bow down to me now
Kneel down to the one you serve
For I am your king!

=D> :notworthy:
In all my travels
The two things my eyes scout for
Are trees and water
Lunchbox is empty
Smelly asses in the truck
Tree work has been done
Wifebeater and shorts
No water, no lunch, no brains
Another new hire
here comes a light rain
the temps are well below freezing
we'll work tomorrow

:) but it dont rain when its well below freezing!
the limbs are heavy
crisp snow crunchs under my feet
my silks keep me warm
edited to be weather correct
here comes a light snow
the temps are well below freezing
we'll work tomorrow
thanks paul

Between thought and expression
Glassy eyed, pleasant

-Busting ass, sweaty
Client requests from behind
While you are here
Frans

"client requests from behind"? "Spooning men"?
Drella, oh so weird
Womens love is like the dawn
man love is so wrong

Yeah,, I guess you're right, the Haiku did sound kinda gay.... But hey, you took it there..:P
-Tired, end of day
Do you want to climb one more
My boss is a turd.
the pantini is set
the rope dangles below me
dang it will not move
men spooning ice cream
drizzled with hot chocolate
women do like both

Sledge, wedge crushing blow
Splintering wood, creaking Oak
Ground shakes, neighbors stare.

You all are too advanced for me. I don't think I can be that creative or disciplined to follow the rules.
MasterBlaster
08-15-2008, 11:24 PM
Rules? 5, 7, 5?
How complicated is that?
Jamin Mayer
08-15-2008, 11:28 PM
It's coming up with the syllables and making sense of it all.
