Btw, Legit, its a Haiku, I can't just insert things.
I only get five syllables in the first sentence, 7 for the second
and 5 for the last. Otherwise, it isn't a Haiku

...I know what a Haiku is, the fact remains that it was a bit confusing. I understand the format of Haikus, I have written them. At least 3 of my Haikus are on my thread.

Also, yes you can insert anything, if you use the right words, aka synonyms with a deeper, more descriptive definition. Just not everything fits, so you must shape your ideas, thus related words and/or synonyms.

Okay Im going to try my hand at a structured poetry. Mostly I just make things in FLP so dont be hating.

I looked to the west
All I saw was grief and death
Despairing I left

......i thread about haikus yet only wat 3 are present..... have mercy......

Humanity
condemed humans be
civil?, humane?, equal?, lies
....have mercy on us....

p.s. im not religious but still....... as they say karma.. is a "B".....hmmmmm, and excuse spelling/grammatical errors... im in a rush.

Wow, Endscape, you're good! I like your Haikus!
Please write more! And can you teach me to write as well as you? I have written quite a few, but I think yours are much better than mine!

Well it seems as if this is becomming an General Haiku thread, and not user specified... In which case, I guess I'll post some I have made here too:

Blooming Rain

Tapping, tapping, tap.
Rain comes and goes, ceasing not,
Blooming life for you.

----------------------

Summer is Here

Just 'round the corner
Summer days have come so far.
Wake up to Summer.

---------------------

This one was more of a joke upon Tacky's request:

Rain & Donuts

Rain makes wheat grow tall,
Wheat makes sticky balls of dough,
Dough makes good donuts.

---------------------

Beaches

Walking across sand.
Waves skimming to the shore line
Then retreating back

-------------------

Night Approaches

Branches reaching out,
Grabbing the sunset's beauty;
The dark is nearing.

Wow! Good, Superlegit! You write good Haikus.
I'll post some of mine later. Please tell me what you think!

Why thank you murasaki, I'm very glad you like them ;)

Joy

Joy makes all our days;
Forget all our stress and pain.
Let joy be your fault.

That one's good too! I like your Haikus!

mura, thank u for that compliment but i write on a spur of emotions.... they r my best friends when writing haikus, not all r good, but i never see any of them as being "bad" haikus neither, keep that in mind.... hmmmm wat am i feeling now hmmm..

Myself
an empty abyss
hollowed soul with a full heart
internal unrest

see, spur of emotions
take care.
