haikus are quite lame
because they never do rhyme
also they don't flow

it is just a shame
it doesn't take that much time
to find a dumb rhyme

You niggers probably haven't read a single contemporary haiku.

It's a shit form, but every so often, you encounter one beautiful enough to justify haiku's continued existence.

>> No.12182970

Are Haikus even worth writing if you don’t do it in Japanese? Isn’t the point of a Haiku that is shows the beauty of nature and has several different meanings depending on how you interpret the Kanji? You can interpret the kanji in the Chinese way or the Japanese way

They can be appreciated in just about any language, I would argue.

Take this one by Karen DiNobile, for example:

idiopathic disease—
riding on a horse
with no name

Good haiku poets introduce a sort of freedom to their work. There must always be a dichotomy involved. In this case, it is the literal and figurative.

After reading too many fairytales:

A young girl told a hut that did spin,
"little hut, little hut, let me in!"
Just as it came to stop
out did Baba Yaga pop
to welcome her meal with a grin.

I think I need a couple follow ups, one about the beautiful maiden escaping and another about the evil stepsister being eaten.

Japanese poetry like Haiku does tend to have wordplay and double entendres but it's usually through word association and homophones and stuff. Real pure 100% Nippon should use native multisyllabic Japanese words, no Chinese shit

Box contortionist
Drawn and quartered on the square
Used to be someone

Please, watch my routine
Your money is no good here
No, I want your time

I was yours once then
Before my body bled dust
And my face drooped red

You cried when I said
That I won't survive my life
And my good years lied

But that was before
I saw your smile stretch half moons
In carnival light

Lindsay is in jail
It threw me against the floor
What she tried to do

I did it for you
Every day in urine light
Oh, how I loved you

Running nostril spit
Spot-to-spot, cold reading bump
Press-on stretcher jobs

I know fate too well
My bloody, beaten angel
Another dead man

So please show pity
As I crawl across my life
Less than nothing now

I like writing haikus that doesn't follow the mathematic rules but goes like this:

A motif
An unrelated motif
A binding motif

The binding motif makes sense of the two first like:

Milk drip on lip
Eyes so tranquil
It's so wonderful you came home from Spain

Authentic rupi kaur style coming through

From time to time I want to die
Sometimes, no
I never want to die.

Or the space between spaces,
Or a silent dusk where all I once was is dissolved,
I am terrified to die.

Once, in passing, I, alone,
whispered something, riding home,
and though by wind 'twas whipped away
my utterance — oh righteous day! —
persists in content, yet unchanged,
within the minds of those who feign
to have no universal ken
yet see this world of beasts and men
precisely as it truly lies
(although they do not see with eyes),
and now I use those words I spoke,
daggers hidden 'neath my cloak,
as my holy flaming sword—
I hunt the beast. I cut the cord.
