Tree Haiku

[Drella]

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

 

[Mr. Sir]

From my lofty perch

I see beyond the hedges

Sunbathing beauty

 

[Thor's Hammer]

The leaves and bark fly

upside down past my face

My VT has failed

 

[sotc]

im climbing a tree
the leaves rustle in the breeze
earth bound i decend

 

[Mr. Sir]

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!

 

[Drella]

-Wet line running knot

Muddy water on my lap

Climbing in the rain

 

[Jman]

Out to the branch tips
Feeling so free, here I go
Sudden rush of fear

 

[Thor's Hammer]

you only live twice

once when your born

and when you look death in the face

 

[Drella]

-Oh my aching back

Might as well call Workman’s Comp

It’s thrown out again.

 

[Frans]

clumsy worker
always careless in your job
brother, can you spare a dime?

 

[Drella]

clumsy worker
always careless in your job
brother, can you spare a dime?

5 x 7 x 5

 

[Mr. Sir]

a clumsy worker
always careless in your job
brother, spot me ten

 

[Frans]

5 x 7 x 5

sorry brother man
cant seem to count this time
will you take the time?

 

[Mr. Sir]

still ain't right snarfman
its five seven five ok
time to try again

 

[hmm]

live from this small town
the mighty hemlocks fall dead
and the bands play on

 

[Frans]

Sticks whip past my face
The searing pain hurts so bad
You suck, chuck 'n duck









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!

 

[Mr. Sir]

=D>

 

[TC3]

In all my travels
The two things my eyes scout for
Are trees and water

 

[TC3]

Lunchbox is empty
Smelly asses in the truck
Tree work has been done

 

[TC3]

Wifebeater and shorts
No water, no lunch, no brains
Another new hire

 

[hmm]

here comes a light rain
the temps are well below freezing
we'll work tomorrow

 

[Paul B]

but it dont rain when its well below freezing!

 

[hmm]

the limbs are heavy
crisp snow crunchs under my feet
my silks keep me warm

 

[hmm]

edited to be weather correct

here comes a light snow
the temps are well below freezing
we'll work tomorrow

[Paul B]
