The Haiku Thread

I think I should sleep,
So my sanity, I'll keep,
Reading textbooks deep.

How can text be read
When eyes have become no more
And your body's dead?

How can text be heard?
If the ears to hear are gone
Can you hear the word?

How can you, "the mind"
Smell the sweet fragrance of wine
When your nose is gone.

When nought can get through
To the mind/spirit that's you
Will you know what's true?

Be sure you're correct.
In death you cannot forget
Nor gain more knowledge.

That which created
"You," the mind that developed
Will be cremated.

Tinkle of bubbles
Light shines pure, through clear water.
Cracked ice chills my glass

Tinkle of bubbles
In the bathroom this morning
Began my troubles

The wife was awake
And I knew that she would be
Mad as a cut snake

Spilt wine on the floor
Craked glass and ice everywhere
I'm chilled to the core

I'm afraid --- that's true
But so would you be also
If only you knew

That woman, you see
Has a glare that satan fears
Oh lord, pity me

Presentation counts.
"Merlot/gouda tenderloin"?
Or "Hot dead cow flesh"?
;)

I'm a chef by trade
Good food slopped onto a plate
Will be rejected

While slop on a plate
Which is pleasing to the eye
Will be accepted

But slop is still slop
And the taste cannot be changed
By presentation

The connoisseur
Will know what's slop and what's good
He cannot be fooled

Mind
Drunk on my own thoughts
They are tangled in a knot
Caught up in schema

A Sneeze (This is in writers but whatever)
The fox kits cower
A hunter comes to greet them
Reviled - Snuffed out

I just wrote a poem
It fits the parameters
of a lame haiku

I'm sorry dustIn
Six sylables on first line
"Yes Man's" also wrong

Number three O eight
And post number three O nine
Both wrong in first line

He cannot be right
"Fox kits cower" is but four
"A Sneeze" makes it six

And with yours "PO-EM"
Is really two syllables
So I am sorry

But I too am wrong
In post 307
in first line last verse

I thought "Con-nois-seur
Was in fact four syllables
So we are all wrong

How blind is the man
Whose coat of many colours
Is black as the night

How blind is the man
Who refuses to open
His eyes to the light

The rainbow above
The seven colours of love
But gone is his sight

Oh you poor blind man
Let me take you by the hand
Hold on--hold on tight
