fields of Haiku ripe,
come one, come all, harvest calls,
syllabic reaping

You guys are terrible...now I've caught the bug. I think the summer theme's mortally shot now.

TwoP and Marlene, you guys are funny and funny. I actually laughed reading the previous page. And the sunflower link is almost unbelievable.

Also I want to extend a big thank you to everyone who participated in this thread till now, and everyone who's viewed it. We crossed the thousand viewings mark. It's been a fantastic thread, and very enjoyable writing in it, and reading some excellent Haiku!

Just a question- how do you guys feel now about a change of theme, or shall we press in to the summer theme till summer's well and truly gone?

TwoPynts ( ) posted Fri, 14 July 2006 at 2:20 PM

Attached Link: Summer

Perhaps it is time to move on to something new, though I have enjoyed the Summer theme quite a bit. So don't go by me, I'm easy to please. Reaping what you sow. Gosh, how clichcan you get? The heat has me fried. ;^]

Note to Admins:

Since it appears one can only 'edit' or delete a post for '15' minutes(?), would someone with the authority to do so, kindly delete my FIRST feeble attempt above mentioned.

Thanks much, TallPockets

(What is the reasoning behind only being able to 'edit' for '15'  minutes if I may ask)?

Edit:  I see you replied while i was writing,T.P. Never mind the first haiku..we have all made mistakes here,and no one takes it seriously.One of my recent posts wasn't even 3-5-3!

Marlene, now I can't get a single silly one after a day's thinking. Anyway, thought I'd try a more romantic one (strange feel to it after much writing that's been usually very serious and intense). Been thinking of my wife and little daughter; thought I'd write one for my wife. :)

TP, you've got me laughing! :D  I didn't know you could edit only for 15 mins; I'm imagining the scene and laughing again. Good to see you again in the thread.

beautiful,

Although the Monsoon is hard on us here, it's also very beautiful. I was watching the drops fall on little pools of water. How welcome after the scorching heat! Your Haiku is lovely, with a gentle lilt. I love these ones that you write.

I'm sure the silly edge will return at an unexpected time, Marlene. 'I'll be back...' Ha!

Hey Marlene, just thought I'd jog your memory of a certain alliteration challenge thread that's been rather neglected of late. It's been almost three weeks since I last thrust down the gauntlet. :crying:
Hope you can post soon, as I'm almost tempted to begin answering my own challenges!

Oh, that's lovely Marlene. There are such deep undertones, and profound parables hidden.

Hi Drekinn! I feel so guilty about the alliteration thread which I enjoyed reading so much, but can't get time to write. Tsk! what do I do with myself?

I've just caught sight of this summer haiku train, and thought I'd jump on for the ride.

Listens, ears burning

Hearing jingling ice cream vans

** Rumours on slaked tongues**

Tongues, speaking un-truths
Spouses cheat, hot summer nights
Sweating, not from 'Sun'

Pounding on winter-worn flesh

Nice one Drekinn, conjures up scenes of summer forest fires. I'll post my "Flashes" haiku now. though I know it's redundant in the last/first word sequence. It was penned and has to be aired, or so my ego's telling me.

Flashes of sunlight

Venetian blinded smoochers

Under the boardwalk 

 

Remember, first word in sequential train  is "Burn".

 

WeeLaddie ( ) posted Thu, 27 July 2006 at 3:37 AM

Burn down false bridges

Leading to pie in the sky

Scorching sun purges
