[Forget Me Not]

[Forget Me Not]

[Forget Me Not]

[Forget Me Not]

Minotaur

The laughter of Gods
rings out hollow
across an empty stage
taunting my existance
denying my dreams
refusing me rest
spreading unease

but in the distance
something graces the horizon
a friend and salvation?
or just torment, damnation?

I turn and reach out
yet stumble and fall
crawling in ignorance
on all fours
a beast, not a man

enraged by my shame
I turn and lash out
too late my folly realised,
as blood like wine
pours from my love’s breast
pierced by hands unworthy of such beauty

My torment, my curse
locked in a prison
of my own design
trapped within my
own mother’s sin

Refused death
denied life
half-and-half
the neither and nor
thus is my folly
God-forsaken,
the Minotaur

These are haiku..

The world? Moonlit
Drops shaken
From the crane’s bill.

Another, more traditional one ..

dwelling with a butterfly…

You are mistaken
a haiku is of three lines
beat five, seven, five

How silly of me not to realise that someone in the 21st century knows more than the Japanese writers that came up with haiku 300 years ago. :roll:

If you want to know what true haiku is, google Matsuo Basho, he is regarded as the founding father of haiku.

maybe if you read them in Japenese instead of just their English translation you might be proven (yet again) wrong

you don’t need to add them yourself, Bill Oddie doe it for you (I will never look at a stag beetle the same way again)

Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.

It has no future but itself,
It’s infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to percieve
New periods of pain.

Emily Dickenson

Eeeek!!! :shock: it has to be your own poem!!!! [-X (but I forgives ya)
