Haiku Thread

A Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry, with 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the last line. Here's two examples:

<center>Sekiko
Beauty and free mind,
Afflicted by fate and love,
She lives in two worlds.

James
Appreciate him,
A dreamer and loyal friend,
What spirit, this wolf!</center>

This thread is here for Haiku on the boards...I figured we could each write a nice haiku about whoever posted in this thead last, as a fun activity. Also, if you have any other haiku to post, put them up as well! It should be a good change of pace from the political battles that have recent caused some distress in the Aethenaeum.
 
A lovely asian,
Skinny the way I like 'em--
Damn right I'd hit it!

( lol, sorry. >,> I'm a bad person, ^_^;; )
 
<center>Seki the Vocalist
Interestingly,
her family has shunned her,
But not her old band.

Morning Surprise
Spatula sliding,
Beneath a soft fluffy cake,
The man makes breakfast.

Exhibition
Light and microphone,
The keyboard at her fingers;
Undressed on webcam.

Warm
Winter winds and ice,
Make it terrible outside,
But with you I'm warm.

Mis-Evolution
Why does it always,
Seem that the most able girls,
Are last of their line?
</center>
 
<center>Corban
His quest to maintain
Skill in roleplay perserveres--
One must respect that.</center>
 
( You still need one more in the second line, Yangfan. )

Although swamped with classwork,
Yangfan never looses sight
Of that old starship.

More, added April 21

Who is that woman
That hides the sake bottles
beneath yukata?

Her energy drives
through the roads of her body
like a rush of bliss
 
One day last fall, I went outside about 11 PM and saw the Northen Lights. I had never seen it before so brilliant and reaching from horizon to horizon. For a moment I thought it was either an act of God or some sort of millitary weapon. Anways, I wrote this after I calmed down-

Purple figures dance
Green sheets to the horizon
Nature lights the sky
 
Time for some good ol' American patriotism.

Don't tread on me
Proud to fly my flag
My nation's single symbol
Do not tread on me!
 
few

Few haiku written
Let us hope this not bad one
Too late grammar wrong

Fox

Know not the fox well
quotes the fox "glad to have you"
a very nice welcome
 
Inciting anger,
Breeding discontent and strife,
So lives a flamer.


Oppressed and Enslaved.
The burden of free will's gone,
Thanks to public school.
