Getting Through : Creative Writing

Fun Vandari Haiku

from Jules - Wednesday, November 19, 2003
accessed 2323 times

With all the creative minds on this site, it might be fun to write some Haiku that only we would get. These are my cheesy attempts. I'm sure other people can do better.

Questions are allowed
But why would you want to doubt?
No time for answers


Volumes now are gone
Burn all evidence. Gypsy
Girl has panties now


Time no longer short.
Money, children, all are gone
But we still have sex

People are not happy
They suspect that something’s wrong
Quick, here’s a scapegoat

I am so bored here

I wish I could die right now

Someone kill me please


I want a fun job

Like one with wild animals

Porn would be fun too


Not with animals

I am not that kind of guy

Please don't get me wrong


I like animals

But not in that way my friends

Christ what have I done


I sound like a freak

I guess I should stop writing

It is too late now


Great, I am still bored

Fridays tend to suck at work

There is no releif


Haiku does not help

I wish it cured my boredom

It is of no use

Fairy dust has been known to be a fairly reliable cure-all.

If you're still bored but not up for fairy dust today, you could try to alleviate some of that boredom by reading this thread:

There are one or two well-crafted comments in there, I think you'll agree.

Blood on the snow
The white sheets are soiled
All things are lawful

Beaten like cattle
Black and blue marks all over
The rod drives sin away

Silenced like lambs
Bright signs decorate necks
Pride comes before a fall

Watermelon in my stomach
I’ll have my first kid at sixteen
God loves child brides

Shivering in the cold
Trashy pictures in the hand
We’re in the last days

Empty, unfilled mind
Cast the demon of knowledge out
The droppings of David are gold

Wandering in a maze
Aunties, uncles, grandpa, Maria
We’re all living one wife

Mama needs the cash

Prophecy will lead

Look, God changed His mind.

Last week in my English class I had to write some haiku. With all that practice I thought I’d add to this fun post. By the way I didn’t include these in my paper. Somehow I didn’t think the teacher would get it.

Tamar draw your pics
jesus reveals demons?
Boris will sue you.

We did not abuse
That is what they say to me
Past is past? F* you!

Apostates we are?
Blood dripping Vandari spawn?
You’d rather us dead

I hate my parents
They brought me up in a cult
They will regret it

(Agree/Disagree?)

Here are 3 definitions I pulled from the Web. The third is more detailed, and if you go to the link that I got it from, it gives lots of hints for writing Haiku. It's a very fun type of poetry to write. Hope this helps! ;)


1) Haiku is a Japanese verse form that relies on brevity and simplicity to convey its message. It is usually three lines of five, seven, and five syllables, and frequently includes natural images or themes. It is believed to have been first written in the seventeenth century and is based on a Zen Buddhist philosophy of simplicity and the idea of perfection that excludes the extraneous.

2)
A Very Brief Definition of Haiku

Haiku is a form of poetry that comes out of Japan. As it's practiced in Japanese, it consists of 3 lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables. In English, people often compose haiku poems more loosely with less syllables, because the Japanese language sometimes takes more syllables to say something.

The images in haiku should be concrete, leaving profound concepts unsaid, but perhaps somehow evident to the reader in a non-verbal way. The reader should discover the meanings in the poem for him- or herself.


In the fall the leaves
Turn to colors at night for
They are beautiful

Fall is a big ball
Always bouncing up and down
Leaves flying around

3)
Definition of Haiku

1) An unrhymed Japanese poem recording the essence of a moment. Nature is combined with human nature. It usually consists of three lines of 5/7/5 (5 onji in the first line, 7 onji in the second line, and 5 onji in the third line) totaling seventeen onji.

2) A foreign adaptation of 1, usually written in three lines totaling 17 syllables or LESS.

As you will notice, there are two definitions. Definition #1 is where many get confused. People tend to confuse onji with the English syllable.

This is like comparing apples to oranges. Onji cannot be compared to syllables.

Unless you are Japanese, have been writing Japanese, or speak fluent Japanese, you will be writing definition #2.

The difference between the two is that in definition #2, you will be writing three lines of poetry, 17 syllables or LESS.

This means you do not have to write three lines of 5/7/5 (5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the third line). You may do so, if you can do it well without fluff words (many can't). If you write 5/7/5, that does not make your poem more of a haiku than someone who does not write 5/7/5.

An ideal haiku should be short/long/short - but that depends on the haiku itself. There is nothing wrong with 5/7/5, if that is what you want to write. However, the majority of modern haiku in most of the journals are not 5/7/5. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have its place.

However, it is all "haiku," not "haiku" and "other." It's just haiku. If you like, you can refer to 5/7/5 as "traditional" -- but even that is not entirely accurate, as it is quickly becoming more traditional to veer away from 5/7/5. The plural of haiku is also haiku, NOT haikus.

After you have been writing and studying haiku for a while, you may be ready to break a rule. This is fine, if it is needed to improve the quality of an individual haiku.

However, before breaking any haiku rule, you must learn and practice the rules.

Then after you are more experienced, you can determine which rule, if any, you want to break on occasion.

Break rules out of experience, not inexperience.

Thanks, Banshee, for doing research on Haiku. I got a bit mixed up (as is evident from my post below) as to what it means, but now that I know I will have a go at writing some during the next few days.

Just wanted to say BC, for not knowing what a Haiku was, you caught the essence of it brilliantly.

Alby, as always, you rock. "Sweet illiteracy " absolutely brilliant.

Ah.....

Who can resist Haiku time?


(a response to Jules's third Haiku)

Yes..we still have sex

But Viagra is not cheap

And our brood has fled


Burning system books

Oh, sweet illiteracy

Thank you, firepit


Faith of my fathers

Rusty blades cut raggedly

Hand me a clean knife


These god's and monsters

It's far to dark inside this well

to tell them apart


Jesus loves me so

But get him off me for now

He's crushing my smokes


Water runs uphill

Linkletter speaks before the grave

FUCK ME Mocumba


Santa Cruz Cali.

Comes any good thing from there?

ABDICATE! Peter!


Old Man of the mount

leave the little girl alone

you have my mother.


And not a Haiku but with thanks to Omar Khayyan


A loaf of bread

A Jug of Sherry

And Berg.

I started writing one to the song "My Life Got Cold", and this is what I (with the help of my husband) came up with for the first verse (chorus left as in the original):

We prayed as we ate
As we listened to the freaks
And waited for our time of day

We chalked up because we talked
We missed get-out because we walked
Cause we didn't do things their way

We read letters as we choked
From an old perverted bloke
As we hid what was on our minds

1993 was the date
He had prophesied our fate
We were running, were running, were running
Out of time

My life got cold
It happened many years ago
When summer slipped away
So chill now oh
We’ve got many years to go
So take it day by day

What's a Haiku??


Jesus tells us it will rain

But next day sun shines

Sweet Jesus tests our faith


We molest our children

Now the police bang on our door

That damn devil again


Tell teenagers go for gold

Single mothers now on our hands

Did I not give you a choice my children?
