They also capture the essence of Haiku best. There is more to it than just counting syllables...

No need to thank me
Okay thanks for adviceKielox wrote:There has been an amazingly high number of amazingly good haikus produced as a result of this exercise, which is amazing!These forum are truly the host of a lot of good and versatile writers. Now we need someone to illustrate some of them and we'll have something truly special
@TheSongofRaven - this is a good start - you need to work a little bit more to get the form right (focus on the syllables) and then try transitioning into increasing the depth of the content - ie a haiku is all about creating a strong, tangible, image and/or inducing a strong feeling, which is to be created through the juxtaposition of two different concepts/lesser images.

Syllables make a haiku.
Remarkable oaf.

Surrounded by snow,
My love warms my heart, but fate
Snatches him away.
Rejected and hurt,
I follow her in the hope
She might change her mind.
Cold and cynical,
Then given a second chance.
Happiness once more.
Life is just a game,
Mine to manipulate.
Won, only to lose.
Wow. That... that was beautiful. I don't know what else to say. Wow.# 2 wrote:<epic poetry of epicness>

Allow me to take you
To the dawn of future
Where is nothing to worried
And let us
The couple of old fools
Pretend to be adult
And nothing to look back in anger
Or crying your heart out
Because you are not alone
