Welcome To National LJ Haiku Day!

[chaosvizier]

marasca and I have decided that today should be dedicated to Haiku. So start haikuing, everyone!

(reminder: for those of you who don't know, a Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry consisting of three lines. The first line contains five syllables, the second line seven syllables, and the third line five syllables. There are some variants, but this is the most common form.)

(reminder: for those of you who don't know what a syllable is, let me know so I can come over and beat you silly.)

Friday, my lost love
I have not enjoyed you for
Nineteen fucking days.

Drinking on the job?
Never would I- oooh, white wine?
Don't mind if I do!

Vision is fading,
Head bobs marionette-like.
Sleep, eternal sleep!

Five, Seven, and Five-
How to build your own Haiku.
Try it- you'll like it!


Let the haikuing begin!
