Recommended Posts

Now that most of us (or, the few of us who have not departed Amazing T. for greener atmospherics) are discharged from the pulmonary ICU wards ... let the games begin:

 

(since every entry will be judged in its own unique category, every entrant is automatically a winner !)

rain; the green riot
climbs walls to get at the light:
tookay calls echo

enough lightning, and thunder:

I have absolutely no idea what this thread is about.....somebody educate me...please. 

What on earth is haiku?

Honestly I have never heard of the term.

Verbal origami?

Sudoku for poets?

Limericks for the verbally challenged?

What??

There is no better vantage point than that !

about emptied mind,

sparkling unexpectedly,

when rain loves you back

Haiku is subtle

It's a linguistic challenge

waiting for rain

waiting for this thread to end

opinions are like raindrops

I really like this !  

 

may I suggest making the last line 5 syllables:

 

opinions: raindrops

 

cheers, ~o:37;

in appreciative response to Rumak's haiku:

raining, or,  flooding:

wait for Yi Peng's magic to

float your little boat

Yi Peng, or Loy Krathong: the annual autumnal full moon festival of the Lanna calendar's twelfth month; this year: ~November 13th.

There was a young lass from Madras

who had a most magnificent ass

not rounded and pink as you may think

but was grey had long ears and eat grass.

Raindrops keep fall on head

like man feet

too big for bed

 

This thread is actually for haiku. (Maybe look up haiku?) 

 

What do you call your new form, pidgin poetry, perhaps?
