the burning season haiku contest begins

Recommended Posts

let us celebrate surviving this season even if the words of Borges have a slightly bitter taste now:

 

"Everything that happens, including humiliations, embarrassments, misfortunes, all has been given like clay, like material for one’s art. One must accept it. For this reason I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so."   Jorge Borges, essay: "On Blindness."

so much beauty here,
even when the air i breathe
murders me slowly

too lazy to see the parameters of a Haiku..... but i'll try something.  

 

damp wet lifeless soul

darker than any black

death only wants a hug

 

OMG...i give up

 

 

You have potential.  It's a shame you are too lazy to learn 5-7-5.

Enjoyment for me

Some get it some do not

The human condition

You're getting closer. Keep trying.

Move one syllable from the last line to the second and you are there. 

 

More fun than bitching about moaning, isn't it?

Under a red sky

Hansum man cries out again

White mask smells of gin

***

A new infection?

Don't blame the Loi Kroh princess

For your ears, nose, throat

***

Exchange rates crumble

Mountainsides glow orange yet

Still the Brits won't leave

***

Outdoors, world burning

Indoors, he looks for a way

To blame the ex-wife

***

The air is horrid

And the natives are obscene 

But bum gun works well

***

Brand new white face mask 

Gleaming like trousers on an

Immigration cop

***

Prodigious nose hair

Does not filter particles

No matter how thick

***

At last we have found

A universal language

Cough, wheeze, sigh, repeat

***

When Songkran arrives

Wet t-shirts along the moat

Conquer smoke and haze

***

Orang annoyed me

Year after year, then one day

He proposed haiku

Hell, unseen bad friend 

Hand unseen in daylight death

devil in my eyes
