Haiku Collection

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.

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.. :D
