Haiku

Sometimes haikus are happy,
Sometimes they are sad,
Sometimes they are both.

Hi my name's Shaheena, or shapeenur, whatever floats your boat, whatever grinds your h- I mean. Yeah. Whatever floats your boat. I've recently been described as a 'social recluse' while in a social situation, so. I like, no, love writing, I particularly LOVE writing and reading poetry; I'd really appreciate if you checked out any of my works. :).

Heart Of Ones Fall Embraces Ones Tears

The heart of ones fall embraces ones tear. Laying here making the sound of a whispering flute as the last breath leaves them. No longer home. In the shell they lived in.

Can't You Feel It?

We like each other. You fall and pull me down with you. You catch me. We get busy. You get busy. You never have the time. You never make the time. I wallow in self pity. Always waiting for you..

Car Songs

Have you heard Nelly's new song 'Hey Porsche'. I just did and I am currently taking it an intrinsic insult to car enthusiasts everywhere. Ferdinand is weeping in his grave right now.

End

So this is where it ends. This is what it feels like. I don't love you. And goodbye. What is it this time. Did you find her again. Realize she's everything. That I've never been. Shes beautiful.

I want to cuddle you up. In my arms. As you lay there looking at me. I know he loves me. His heart beat is my favourite melody. The shape of his lips. Are my joy. And the way he curls up in my arms.

^^ what @were said. I like the idea! πŸ‘β€

@paintingskies it's not a haiku if you don't do it that way

@were ikik I was trying to make it an ironic haiku, sort of mixed and matched, I'm aware that its not technically a haiku.

But I'm glad you noticed. I was hoping someone would.

And just an interesting fact to note, a haiku doesn't necessarily have to be built of 5 7 5, as the poems are traditional Japanese ones; the Japanese rules state that it has to be built of seventeen syllables, that's a must follow rule. However, in Japan letters such as 'n' count as there own separate syllable, therefore a line which we would class as consisting of four syllables would actually be five. The act is that as haikus adapt in western countries many people feel as if there are plenty rules to stick to without ruining the traditional haiku. So forth, people tend to criticise other haikus for a mistake. When they are in fact perfectly acceptable. So, even though my haiku doesn't follow the traditional line of the norm, adaptations in today's world tend to only follow one rule, three lines and seventeen syllables. Sorry for the lecture, but I'm in the midst of studying for poetry analysation:L

@paintingskies thanks:3, and for the wonderful 'πŸ’›'

Anytime! 😊 And that's interesting stuff.

@shaheenashapeenur wow I didn't know that! Thanks, that's pretty cool!

@were np, sorry for rambling though, I tend to when I'm engrossed in poetry. Thanks for the brilliant repost and 'πŸ’›' ☺😘

The second half of that post was for @paintingskies, my phone goes crazy sometimes :3 but thanks to both of you:D. I'm just exhausted because I have piles of schoolwork πŸ˜‰β˜•
