Okay, I’m going against the complaints outlined in a prior post by attempting a form of non-rhyming poetry (sorry Alexander Pope!) My younger son was attempting to write Haiku which, by the way, is extremely annoying. Therefore, since I've attempted several other types of poetry, I figured I'd give Haiku a try.
Random Thoughts in Haiku Form:
Dishes in the Sink
Dirty Towels on the Floor
Make them go Away
Loud Whining Voices
One a Boy’s Voice; One a Man’s
GET OFF COMPUTER
Mom Steps in the Room
STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP
They Choose not to Stop
Mom is feeling Hurt
Her Spirit Trampled by One
Misread Good In Bad
Boys Study their Mom
Her eyes Look Different, Weary
Not shiny: Not Bright
The Flower Bows Down
Low Heavy; Tiny Dew Drop
Hangs, then Falls like Tear
The Deer Glances up
Wide Eyes Blink in Trust; Too Late
Trigger Pulled, She Falls
Through Tear Veiled Eyes
Laughter? Fear? Radiates from
Brown-eyed Boys She Loves
They Fight, Argue, Scream
Their Presence Provides Strength to
Weather Storm of Life

Look, I am here (but not for long ;o)). I love "weather storm of life!" You might not get that one published, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? Will you be doing Iambic Pentameter next?
As my hubby said to my daughter yesterday: "Every window of opportunity has a different view?" How's the view from Haiku?? :o)
make that a ! above, not a ? Bad typing. Sheesh!
Karen, Welcome back. I think my poetry days are over. You know I love Iambic Pentameter! I'm working on my next post now and it is, thankfully, not poetry. I think you need to stretch and write something in iambic pentameter!
Excellent effort! :)
I remember trying to do Haiku WAY back in 2nd grade and even then it was difficult, for me anyway!
Impressed, Miss Amy.
Words, like leaves, flowing softly
Carrying voices.
"Oh what a woeful tune you will sing, when you ain't got no Almond Ding"...I remember writing that Haiku when I worked at the architectural firm and they asked me to order Chinese. Hey, mine rhymed!
Rhyming haiku! Lise, you're brilliant!!
