Haikus and Cinquains

Learn about haiku's here.

 

Cinquains:

 

"Winter"

Silent

I gaze out at

The falling snow and rain

Beyond the frosty windowpane.

Winter.

 

"Spring"

Serene,

The earth is green

As plants begin to sprout

While small creatures scurry about.

Springtime.

 

"Summer" (Yes, the last line is a reference to Phineas and Ferb)

"School's out!"

The children shout

And run around and play

It's time for us to seize the day.

Summer.

 

"Autumn"

Now all

Leaves gently fall,

The air fills with a chill

And all the schools begin to fill.

Autumn.

 

"Love"

Love burns

Like a wildfire

Consuming lovers' hearts.

Know beauty as great as the finest art

And love.

 

"A Crash"

A crash

Scent of sulfur

The smell of gasoline

The sight of glass mixed with my red blood

I scream

 

Haikus:

 

"Feline Unfriendliness"

A silly creature

Hiss one moment, purr the next

My cat confounds me

 

"At Least it's not a Trochee" (I wrote this after writing a couple Shakespearean sonnets :P )

Kudos to Shakespeare.

Iambic Pentameter

Is quite difficult.

Cute, hehe

Also the last one's first and last verses are both pentameters. XD

 

I especially like the rhymes, always have in general;

To flow well at all times, let's try not to be too liberal.

But must we be Shakespeare, I find it a bit oppressive;

That's not quite where I steer, it makes me depressive.

I actually prefer to compromise, even to improvise like this;

And I would like to emphasize, reading such poetry is bliss.

Oh, yes, I have quite the penchant for rhyme,

And I use rhyming couplets all of the time,

But I tried once to write some sonnets for class,

And learned to respect Shakespeare very fast.

My rhymes, combined with the traditional form,

Ten syllables with meter like in "transform",

Made it quite the difficult feat

So eventually I did retreat

To write other forms and even free verse

 Because being a Shakespeare just made me worse.

Indeed I like my usual form better as well,

And to say such nice things to me really is swell.

Such kind words mean a lot to me;

Knowing folks enjoy my poetry. :)

 

Wow, I'm surprised I could make that up off the top of my head so fast :lol:
