What is Haiku?
Haiku is one of the most important form of traditional Japanese poetry. Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. Since early days, there has been confusion between the three related terms Haiku, Hokku and Haikai. The term hokku literally means “starting verse”, and was the first starting link of a much longer chain of verses known as haika. Because the hokku set the tone for the rest of the poetic chain, it enjoyed a privileged position in haikai poetry, and it was not uncommon for a poet to compose a hokku by itself without following up with the rest of the chain.
Na-inspired ako sa HAIKU… nakakatuwang gumawa.. hehehe
At syempre.. gumawa ako ng sarili kong mga haiku…! weee!!
Karma
Tuwa sa ngayon
ang katumbas ay luha
ingat sa balik
Hello
Tining ng tunog
sa tenga ay makirot
phone mo ay i-off
Pagpaparaya
Buka ng pakpak
simbolo ng paglaya
kampay lang pare
Instrumento
Ihip ng hangin
musika sa pandinig
tunog ng pluta
Hepatitis
Kain ng kain
sa tabi ng kalsada
goodluck sa sakit
Sama ng Loob
Buga ng usok
kasabay ng himutok
asan ang upos
Snatcher
Wag malilingat
kung ayaw mong mawalan
gamit na mahal
Panakip butas
Butas ang bubong
binato ng malakas
di ako tapon
The sound of silence
is like killing me softly
turn on the radio
Be good God is watching us
Sooner or later
your own mistakes will kill you
wait and be patient
Ups and downs
Light as a feather
can move by the wind blow
avoid the rainfall
Life
Never was worth while
so pack up troubles in life
sing and dance with life
mundo ko’y bilog
ngunit tila tatsulok
wag lang sasabog
maalab na kiss
sa pusong umiibig
ingat lang sana
mass suggests freedom
but message can’t hear so loud
adjust the volume
2 faces
It is so funny
that I can make people laugh
while I’m hiding tears
Lover
I am romantic
I know what’s love all about
even how to play it
Mother Nature
Green is all around
fresh air benefits human
save our mother earth
Self-pitty
How can I look good
you’re taking me for granted
as if you’re goddess
Lord
You save me from fire
gave everything I wanted
savior is my Lord
Parents
Both are great persons
love unconditionally
is motto in life
Revenge
Think you’re a winner
and I will be laughing soon
curse is next in line
Positive
Don’t use darkness
when you’re hurt and in despair
there’s moon and stars
Untitled
Memories of you
hunting me like a killer
you ruin my nerve
more Haiku soon..
