Sensational Haiku Wednesday

Welcome to “Sensational Haiku Wednesday!”

Click here for info and background on this weekly event!

The basics:

Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

Please folks; while there are many different ways to write this form of poetry, to avoid confusion, for this meme we are ONLY using the 5-7-5 rule for our haiku. Thanks!

This week’s theme is: Malice

Red hot rage turns cold
Undercurrents run downhill
It cannot end well

Absence of Malice
Malice in Wonderland (yuck)
Good and bad movies

In the minds of men
Such chaos often lurking
Can’t let anger go

Shoppers; Black Friday
Christmas spirit? Avoid malls!
Women are crazy!

 

p.s. I can say that because I’m a woman! I’m also out of here on a mini, much-needed holiday with the Hubby. See you in a few days!

‡ Folks, a quick note about comments: A few of you don’t have Name/URL enabled on your blogs, and I CAN’T comment in that case. Take a moment to enable that, will you? There are other ways to combat spam and still allow people with their own domains to leave their homage to your greatness ;) ‡

Next week’s theme: Preparation

Note: Nothing makes me happier than to see new people getting “hooked on haiku”! Keep it going to make it to the Hooked on Haiku List (if you’re not listed and should be, please [politely] let me know!)

Sensational Haiku Wednesday

The basics:

Haiku is simple! It is 3 non-rhyming lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively (a great way to use your fingers!)

This week’s theme is: Absence

Darkness, empty void
Something important missing
Someone… ah, it’s you

Different; the need
Deeper than just mere friendship
Quieter than me

Too much time passing
Quick flashes of brilliance
So few words spoken

Settled. Done. Small smile
Conclusions drawn, limits reached
Quiet acceptance
