Haiku 4 U

Here are random thoughts waving through my brain then structured carefully. For those unfamiliar with the Japanese style poetry that is Haiku, I'll give you two examples that best explain what Hiaku is. The first explains the syllabic (is that a word?) structure, the second is simply a style option that I use most often.

How To Haiku
the first line has five
the second carries seven
five again ends it

truncated poem
with a transitional line
a clever ditty

I think this sums up Haiku fairly well. There are volumes written over the various formats and styles. Mine is clearly nothing deeply philosophical or profound, but here it is all the same. (If it isn't obvious, each is only 3 lines long)

humorous blogging
ROTFLOL
don't remember why

then I saw her face
piercing eyes carved to a scowl
I'm a believer

chameleon faith
changing colors to blend in
is it hot in here?

made in God's image
today they try so hard to
shape Him into ours

And since the season is upon us, candy already filling the store shelves ...

glowing in the dark
the spooky jack-o-lantern
smiles a toothy grin
