As are you, from what I have seen so far. So do tell me: who are you?

Masked dancers all 'round
Girls wearing beautiful gowns
"May I have this dance?"~

(I don't know. Just made it up on the spot xD It's sort of short and I'm wondering if I should put more >.>)

Haiku are always short. Though apparently once can say a heck of a lot more in 17 syllables of Japanese than 17 syllables of English. so English is as a titch of a disadvantage.

The disadvantage
is more prominent among
western than east

Quiet:
Your eggs have been clicked
Hopefully they grow up strong
I know how it feels (for them to die)

Bracket parts don't count for the syllables XD
XD I love writing poems. I wrote pretty good ones years ago, haven't written some in ages. Haiku poems are funny and easy to write XD

Thank you, Elf Healer,
For your aid to my dragons.
A generous act. :)

I believe I'm sad;
Loneliness now takes one, who
is known as Fenrir

A forgotten God,
Wrestled in chains of duties
Gifts to him ribbon.

You are most welcome
It is my pleasure to help
Those who are in need
:)

This Haiku contest
Has turned into Haiku chat
Hard to find entries

:P

perhaps entries by PM?
(is not speaking in haiku)
Or am I really?
...

Are they all entries?
I will enter as I go
Because it's my speak.

This confuses me!
I do not know what to write.
Knotted maze of thoughts!


Tis a silly thread.
What do we do about it?
Blame the Funkduder!

Really. I'm resisting the urge to facepalm at this. But I've been known the speak in Shakespearian/pentameter. Which would...actually...be perfect for this event.

(c-c-c-combo breaker!)

Iambic pentameter yeah?

Unless of course, one was a commoner or a fool. Then regular prose works well enough. ;)

-headdesk- Actually, irl, that was a head-computer.

Somehow it just comes naturally to me,
And Espy plays the fool too many times~

Natural enough that not everyone tends to notice, or so I've seen. It does explain the funny gaps in the writng though.

Speaking of which, I hate it when people try to force syllables into haikus, or pentameter. It just sounds so darn wrong >.<

Yeah. I try to follow the natural lilt of words when I can. This does mean I tend to write a fair bit of free verse rather than formed poetry. I can lose patience with a sonnet and try and cram a word in to finish it.

Sonnets are just two lines too long for me, because I suck at ending stuff.

Indeed, the attempt
is trite when not naturally
spoken out to them

Also you, espy.
You look absolutely...nice,
a good change for you

My usual colors.
Turns out I was not as tired
as I thought I was.

(I got tired of red for a while, explaining the purple avi some time ago.)

A red or purple?
I do not care of color.
You still look stunning.

-blushes- Why thank you >.<

You are welcome

Hm I might consider this... though I write Haiku better in my own language :/
I might still try though ^_^;;

Have my entry written up. Nothing overy fancy, just a standard haiku. Would I be able to PM it to you, Sei to keep it seperate -and easier to distinguish- from the chat in the thread, or do you want them posted here?

EDIT: whoops! Just read the thread back and found out my answer. Resolved! I'll PM it to you and maybe post it here later. :)

Random question. Can I write a tanka (5-7-5-7-7) instead of just a haiku? It's much easier for me.

I asked that earlier. I believe it was fine but you can check over on page one to be sure. :)

And which language
is the one that you do claim?
Is English not yours?

The night is alight
with beautiful sounds this time
unlike last night's droll.

I figured I would join in :3

That definately makes a strong image, Shirelin.

Thank you, Quiet *Smiles*

not an entry, this is espescially for sei

"The importance of this event"
This is a new age
A door to a centaury
of which I'm a part

Wow... you guys're good! xD

Underestimate
not our fierce love for haiku.
To write is to live.

The queen welcomes us.
Stunning lights and fine music.
Will you dance with me?

Espy spins out poems
Without too much prior thought...
...Lest she has a block.

Don't think much, old friend
For here in this place we talk
anew, under masks.

Not a hiku but a poem I wanted to share anyway...

Said by many
heard by so few
three little words
I love you

I hope you all like it, sleep deprivation talking lol.
