Rules


The Haiku must follow the traditional standards. For those who are not familiar with this style of poetry I suggest you look it up. A good reference site to use is http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Haiku-Poem

Entries



1. [Leb]
The Word Willingly

I said, "No," not "Please."
I was not a willing Leigh.
Rape became my fate.

2. [Rice]
You

Twisting and churning,
My desecration and hatred festers,
Clawing and purring your name.

3. [Rice]
GSR

Take aim and fire BANG love screamed.
Straight through the heart and out the other side,
I bet she didn't see that one coming?

4. [Nioniel]
Definition Of

Insignificance.
A word that hardly means that
She was ever loved.

5. [Leb]
Craving Apathy

Some days I am strong. 
Some days I am weak. I would
prefer to just be.

6. [Leb]
Physical Evidence

Ring on her pinkie
that glares in a black-and-white
photograph. Engaged.

7. [Evolution X]
Backlit eyes

Back glare in darkness.
The world at your fingertips.
Slowly blinding you.

8. [Evolution X]
Lost Penny

Rolled beneath the couch,
among solitude and trash.
Where cold metal dies.

9. [Evolution X]
The descent

Pounding on the floor,
Starting treacherous slick slopes,
Sledge-hammers of hope.

10. [Evolution X]
Depth

Sometimes hope is bright,
but it is not a small speck,
but a distant sun.

11. [Evolution X]
Still standing

Misery and loss,
mayhem, war and pestilance...
Might never happen.

12. [Leb]
Poured Out My Heart, But Not the Sand in My Shoes

Sand in my shoes makes
walking with a heavy heart
harder. Pour it out.

13. [Rice]
War

Love cries 'this is War',
Bloodshed across the battle feild.
I laugh, then break.

13. [Rice]
Cynicism

Sweet, tasty, loathing,
Writhing in my hand - crush,
What a bitter end.

2009-06-28 [moira hawthorne]: thx u... no I didnt intend it to be happy or sad... just it be

2009-07-01 [Deus Ex Taco]: [*Phoenix*], your haiku is amazing :D

2009-07-05 [Artsy]: This life is that wondrous life. It's all in how you look at it. ^^ Life doesn't suck as much as people would like you to think. You just have to feel a little delusional to break the brain washing society has done to most of us. -_-'

2009-07-09 [smakeupfx]: A Hauku Contest!
I love it I really do
wish I could do them

:D

2009-07-09 [Thunder Cid]: Oh how that's unique
I haven't seen that before
I love sarcasm

XD

2009-07-12 [*Phoenix*]: Thanks, [Deus Ex Taco]!!!!!!

2009-07-16 [Evolution X]: Oh God, I was caught Hiuku'ing... now they want me to write them for the talent contest >_>

2009-07-16 [smakeupfx]: Tell them you just can't
They take too much time to do
Then just go away

:D

2009-07-16 [Artsy]: Damn, Evo-kun. o.o'

2009-07-16 [Artsy]: I like #25. And I'm not sure if #26's third line has 5 syllables or 6. Depends on how you pronounce 'another' I guess. ^^''

2009-07-16 [Evolution X]: I pronounce it "Ann-nother", so for me it's two sylables... Does accent count in these? Cause I can't think in an american accent very well... I get a headache.

2009-07-16 [Artsy]: I'm not apposing it. Just sometimes it's pronounced 'an-oth-er' but it depends where you put the accent, or 'emphasis' on the word.... It's fine, I just like counting syllables....

2009-07-16 [Evolution X]: I'm more worried about "Idiocracy", whether it means what I think it does and whether it is four, five or six sylables.

2009-07-16 [Artsy]: id-ee-ah-crah-cee, i'd say 5.
Idiocracy- Peculiarity of constitution; that temperament, or state of constitution, which is peculiar to a person

so... i guess it works in this case...

2009-07-16 [Evolution X]: Woots ^_^ Now I'm wondering where I got the word from >_>

2009-07-16 [Artsy]: Good one, [sweet.tx.tea]. ^^ #32

2009-07-16 [sweet.tx.tea]: XD Thank you.

2009-07-20 [Nioniel]: *submits*

2009-07-20 [Nioniel]: [sweet.tx.tea], you've got 6 insted of 5.
:)
Just so you know.

2009-07-20 [sweet.tx.tea]: AGh! Thank you! Apparently, I cannot count. >.<

2009-07-20 [sweet.tx.tea]: Number -should- be fixed.
