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

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

Does this promise stand?

Time will not stand still...

Yet never enough of it,
Bring it back to me.

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

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

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!

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

Written by: [pegasus1000]

"Loyalty is the Traitor of Time"

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

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

-Elftown Haiku Contest

2010-11-19 [wicked fae mage]: Message me with it or link me to it :)

2010-11-19 [windowframe]: Or just post it here, and we can all help. :P

2010-11-19 [wicked fae mage]: Naturally, but I couldn't speak for everybody else's willingness or reluctance. :3

2010-11-19 [windowframe]: Well, posting it here doesn't force other people to respond. X)

2010-11-20 [Alexi Ice]: Thank you both! *Hugs Fae then eye's Silver* Would you kill me if I hugged you?

- Like I said, I think it's five, seven and four. (Needs to find random syllable to the end of line three...>>)

2010-11-20 [wicked fae mage]: No, I like hugs. *hugs*

3
4
4

2010-11-20 [windowframe]: Fae's count is right. All the words you've picked are 1 syllable, which is kind of impressive. :P
You could shift it around a bit,

'When the clock does dare (5)
to mock - tick, tock, tick, tock, (6, so you'd need 1 more)'
Then you'd have a whole 'nother line to play with. :O

2010-11-20 [Alexi Ice]: KK! I can totally do this! Thank you for your time!

2010-11-20 [Alexi Ice]:

Did I get the count right this time...>> *failing all over the place*

2010-11-20 [windowframe]: First line is 5, not 4, (which is good, that's what it's supposed to be), but the last line is 7 syllables - bo.dy, soul.less are both 2 syllables.

2010-11-20 [wicked fae mage]: I don't know how to explain syllables...strange as it is.

2010-11-20 [Flisky]: Uh...the first line is 6...(I have no idea how you all count syllables, but six different one syllable words is 6 syllables...)

The last line is 7 syllables...Maybe take out body and change my to me?

2010-11-20 [windowframe]: Yeah, I just counted five words. <_<

2010-11-21 [Alexi Ice]: Is the first line five or six? (confused)

2010-11-21 [windowframe]: 6. You've got 6 words. No word is less than one syllable.

2010-11-21 [Alexi Ice]: Ah ~ (Thinking about just giving up)

2010-11-21 [wicked fae mage]: Dictionaries break words into syllables, too, if you don't want to wait for use to respond to a comment

2010-11-23 [NorthStorm]: Umm... Nioniel.. cool name; but that's definitely not a haiku.

2010-11-23 [Thunder Cid]: Yeah it looks like it 5,8,4. All you need to do is drop a syllable in the second line and add one in the third.

2010-11-24 [NorthStorm]: Better, kinda

2011-01-12 [Akayume]: Pretty good turn-out for this contest! (:
