The Haiku Thread

[S-word]

Thoughts of our children
From the far distant future
On the thread of life

Have come down to me
Upon the genetic thread
That no sharp edge knife

Can ever sever
The thread that binds all of us
To our beginning

I am eternal
I was, am, and I will be
For eternity

 

[Daemon Sophic]

......

.....
Upon the genetic thread
That no sharp edge knife

Can ever sever
.......

Au contraire my friend
Just one knife and two quick cuts.
“Snip – Snip” …the line ends.

 

[S-word]

Au contraire my friend
Just one knife and two quick cuts.
“Snip – Snip” …the line ends.

Never to receive
Visitations from above
But you may return

On the thread of life
And visit those whom you love
From the depths below

One with the Alpha
But not with the Omega
The 'snip' stops your path

That is if the snip
Comes before you sire a child
The door to Omega

 

[Daemon Sophic]

You have changed my life,
more than I had feared.....or hoped.
Oh sweet child of mine. :hug:

 

[S-word]

You have changed my life,
more than I had feared.....or hoped.
Oh sweet child of mine. :hug:

Heaven has opened
Sweet manna rains down from high
Thoughts from your future

Your unborn children
Merge with your mind in their past
Descending Lifes thread

Frubals? vanity
The love of doing Haiku
Is its own reward

Sadly, I'm so vain
I do not love Haiku's so
**** your term "reward"

 

[dust1n]

Then you dis-a-gree
Ev-er-y Dict-ion-ar-y
Will ag-ree with me

[S-word]

Dinosaurs laid eggs
And our fowls evolved from them
Fowls were formed in eggs

So the answer's clear
Chickens came after the eggs
From which they were hatched

 

[Yes Man]

Mind is a city
Hidden sewers and tunnels
Coax the archetypes

 

[S-word]

Mind is a city
Hidden sewers and tunnels
Coax the archetypes

Man; the prototype
Of Gods son, 'The Son of Man'
When man dies, He lives

But God loved the world
And gave his begotten son
That Mankind might live.

The spirit in man
Inherits the throne of God
Praise the Son of Man

Mankind the most high
In who develops the Son
Who will rule the world

Trust -- in human kind.
Strength and Reason -- sans blind faith.
Agnosticism.

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

Our disagreement?
The number of syllables
That make the word 'poem'

A small suggestion:
The conflict would disappear
Using 'verse' instead.

Agnosticism.

"Trust -- in human kind."
Said the man at the airport
Would you really mind

Taking this for me
A present sealed in a box
To friends in Bali

I know that you would
With your trust in human kind
But I never could.

 

[S-word]

A small suggestion:
The conflict would disappear
Using 'verse' instead.

Po-ems are a curse
That's why so many use prose
And not rhyming verse

No need to debate
You said all dictionaries
This was not the case.

I'm afraid nothing
In our entire lives here
Is that difficult

 

[S-word]

I'm afraid nothing

Is that difficult

There you go again
In our entire lives here(six)
Could you please explain

 

[S-word]

Alas! I am wrong
When I refer to po-em
Am I to say "Pom"

 

[dust1n]

There you go again
In our entire lives here(six)
Could you please explain

Ack, you are right now!
'Tire' is one syllable
Doesn't sound right.
