Haikus and the like

[Angelina]

Jesus died for me
On the cross at Calvary
his blood, set me free

 

[Mayflower]

Charismaniacs !
Writing lots of good haiku
I really love it!

^_^ I guess Ive gone past the "season" format of haiku. I just think the 5 7 5 format is eloquent.

When I write, I rain
My thoughts pour down on paper
My faith is released

 

[Angelina]

Metaphoric plum
Changing form from one to one
Basking in the Son

 

[Grunt Hemlock]

Angelina goes
Above and beyond the rules
Making the lines rhyme

 

[DuckieLady]

You guys write such pretty heavenly things.. I want to like them all but I'll clog up your notifications and it would take them all. Consider it automatic like for all

Mine are not pretty. LOL

Here are a few of mine:

Green Giant

Green Giant mascot
Smiles from jar of brown mushrooms
Why? green man not brown

Found Wallets on Local Posts

Why found wallet posts
Why keep losing all wallets
Bring back wallet chains

Alice Pansies (alice in wonderland)

The singing pansies
They look like bearded women
It's Alice's fault

 

[Grunt Hemlock]

FYD plays lyre
accompanying haikus
we sing together

 

[DuckieLady]

Looking back I see
Oh, is this a response game
I broke it again

 

[saintiaint]

My life has seasons
My theology was off
My life is changed now

That's a good one. Way above average

 

[saintiaint]

I thought haiku had to have a nature component.

Lol. I don't honestly know all the legalities. I just read a little about haikus and thought it help with writers block. I stopped after this writers rpg was shut down. Rpg was really bad for me anyway.Not how I wrote back then.

It says a lot in few words. It might not fit the haiku criteria, strictly speaking, but it says a lot about you , your faith and how you have changed. Awesome imo.
Just that our life is like seasons. We aren't the same person at different stages of our lives.

Technically correct - haiku about nature - "senryu" about human relations - same form of 5 syllables, 7, then 5 again.

No rules about rhyming - but Angelina can make lines rhyme.

Technically, I read haikus usually do not rhyme, but I like the rhyme. Freeform sounds like the ones we are doing. I like the funny ones too. LOL.

Rules for Writing Haiku

 

[Grunt Hemlock]

Breaking all the rules
Our haiku is not for fools
In time the earth cools.

 

[Grunt Hemlock]

They are supposed to be unrhymed - of course I guess they are supposed to be in Japanese - ori gotu

 

[saintiaint]

I'm new here I guess
But am I newly transformed?
Holy Spirit wise

No rhyme?
That's a shyme
So 7-5-7
Is not really Heaven

 

[Mayflower]

My redeemer lives
He is working in my life
He teaches daily

-----

It is frustrating
I have growth but over time
Take me deeper now

----

Take me deeper now
I want knowledge past my years
Breathe in me wisdom

------

Breathe in me wisdom
I want to grow closer now
I want to serve You

-----

I want to serve You
Big ways, small ways, I love You
You have saved my life

----

You have saved my life
My life and spirit are yours
Your love gives me life

 

[Grunt Hemlock]

It is 5-7-5
and not 7-5-7
no, not heaven

 

[Mayflower]

I write what I want
I am like my cat on my chair
She has her own rules
