Time is eternal,
And it is time that heals wounds.
Teach us better, time.

''Time''

Pure,dawning beauty
All times glory, concealed
Glides by dreamily

"Promise"

You promised me love,
eternal, and always true.
Does this promise stand?

Written by: [Akayume]

Who can withstand it?
Is it possible to use?
It is time endless.

Written by: [July 47]

Flower blooms in Spring,
True is The Hero Hearted,
Time will not stand still...

Run, jump, pick stuff up.
you run almost out of time.
too late, game over.

Time is all we have,
Yet never enough of it,
Bring it back to me.

Written by: [Flisky]

"The Passage Of Saturn"

Time, it's aloof pose,
Steals the beauty of the rose,
All is transient.

Writtenby [ScottJo]

"A Moment Passes"

The passage of time:
Leaves drifting, ephemeral.
Autumn’s golden rays.

Written by: [Aradon Templar]

"But where does it pass to?"

Future becomes past.
An instantaneous change.
Where is the present?

Tick Tock, so it goes.
It's the ever flowing Time,
Try to hold on now!

Time whore cometh. Lo!
She has altered the timeline!
You are not my dad!

"Visions of Sand"

If your eyes are blind
Can you see the sands of time
Or just feel its weight

Written by: [pegasus1000]

14.
"Loyalty is the Traitor of Time"

Time does not keep friends;
a 15-year friendship can
end in three minutes.

Written by: [Leb]

15.
"It's Taking Longer Than I Thought It Would"

Time goes by slowly,
Slower still with a broken
Heart. I wait for you.

Written by [Nioniel]

2010-10-26 [Akayume]: mine loosely fits. Eternal and standing? I say it fits...

2010-10-26 [windowframe]: How else can you say 'eternal' other than with three syllables? O_o

2010-10-26 [NorthStorm]: Akayume, I like your Haiku.

2010-10-26 [wicked fae mage]: No clue, Silver... *points to my Haiku*

2010-10-26 [Akayume]: I don't know [windowframe]. DX

And thank you [NorthStorm]. (:

2010-10-26 [Chimes]: [9jlriexqk,ktpk]: You're still using too many syllables for it to count as a haiku. Perhaps, look on http://dictionary.com ? It splits words into syllables.

[July 47]: You need another syllable in the first line to make yours a Haiku. :)

[NorthStorm]: I'm not sure your haiku fits the theme of Time.

2010-10-26 [9jlriexqk,ktpk]: Okay, I'll rework it soon :/

2010-10-26 [Chimes]: Haikus are really challenging, so don't feel too disheartened. :)

2010-10-26 [Akayume]: They are indeed. >.<''

2010-10-26 [9jlriexqk,ktpk]: I'm pretty bad for following formats :)

2010-10-26 [Aradon Templar]: It gets even harder when you consider the traditional practice of natural themes and vivid imagery rather than concrete ideas. I'm a very wordy person, I've been told, and don't like condensing phrases for fear that people will misunderstand. However, that's the elegance of the Haiku. Your goal is to communicate imagery convicingly with just a few choice words. Still working on the third line of mine. Will post when it's finished.

2010-10-27 [windowframe]: I want to steal the apostrophe from the first line of [ScottJo]'s entry, and add it to the second line of [9jlriexqk,ktpk]' entry. <_<

2010-10-27 [9jlriexqk,ktpk]: Argh! Stop picking on me!!

2010-10-27 [windowframe]: I pick on you by trying to help you! I am so cruel like that. O.o

2010-10-27 [Flisky]: Yes, Silvie. You are a cruel, mean person. ^_^

2010-10-27 [NorthStorm]: Perhaps.. but doesn't it? NOW is an instant within time, all too often ignored as we concern ourselves with the past and future. Basically, what I was going for is to stress the urgency of The Present. However, if you like, I can retract My entry. It was fun, either way.

2010-10-27 [July 47]: is that good?

2010-10-27 [ZeoOfFire]: First time Haikuist person here, is that ok?

2010-10-27 [Aradon Templar]: Looks good to me, ZeoOfFire.

2010-10-28 [ZeoOfFire]: woop woop

2010-11-12 [wicked fae mage]: [NorthStorm], you would love metaphysics. Especially the writings of Bergeson. (I believe I spelled his name correctly)--he is very into the present and how to interpret seconds and short instances of time.
