Rise in Pants, Click Click
Crushing blows to face and neck
neighbors wife; taboo

#2
My lens is too small
Hatred swells, the bitter sting
Camera Envy!

Early grass on fire:
low light from the east consumes
shadow as it grows.

*

Twilight gleaming blue:
fading in the west, the sky
drags shadow to dark.

a short lens captured
an image of a woman.
a long lens needed.

Image in my mind
Matching not what lies on screen...
Mediocrity

Gently urban spring
Bent grass seeking pixel pairs
Green squares overwhelm.

I just looked up dictionary.com to find what Haiku means. And here's what I came up with... Let me know if I understood it correctly.

longing for love;
I looked close, trying to capture
the sunset in her eyes

Snap snap snap snap snap
Snap snap snap snap snap snap snap
Snap snap snap snap snap

or

If cameras were guns
I'm sure I'd be deaf by now
Too bad my aim sucks...

or

I just can't do well
Too bad scoring's not like golf
Where being sub-par's good.

or

Camera's it's said
steal souls. What a lie that is:
They steal your money.

Decisive moment,
could have been a great capture,

I wrote a haiku
As a comment on a pic
Mine? Yours? I forget.

Pug,

The above, with one minor exception, are actually a fine example of a certain genre of Haiku. Traditionally, haiku will be focused on and indication of time or a season, but another subset are like little Zen Koans, and yours is like that. Here's how I'd change it:

I wrote some lines
as a comment on a pic ΓΆ€”
mine? Yours? I forget.


See why?

Wonderful job! Hat's off to a fine little verse.

I think poetry
is just a big waste of time
I don't write any

A poet can see
a photographer who hears
the tone of a line.

spring red glows softly
upon holly's minted leaves
early berries shine

foals dancing with mares
upon carpets of daisys
whickers greet the eve

Master poet bear

Thanks, Robert. But remember, a haiku should be 5-7-5 syllables (though in Japanese, the word "haiku" is actually three syllables). When I'm back on my own internet connection (and not on this slower school one), I'll see if I can find that photo comment haiku I wrote.

Like all good pommes, haiku is about syncing sound and sense. To transport the whole thing, relatively intact, into English, I say, forget the 5-7-5 and follow your English or American ears. That is, after all, how the Japanese arrived at it.
