Haiku for You

So I just looked up what a Haiku was... caused, yet again, by boredom. Essentially, it is a poem (that doesn't rhyme) consisting of three lines; the first has 5 syllables, the second- 7, and the third- 5 again. Usually the theme of a Haiku is nature, but it doesn't have to be. I have now taken it upon myself to write 10 (potentially awful) haiku (which happens to be the plural of haiku... who knew?) in 10 short minutes. Yay!

One

The  floors are creaking

like the bones of the old-

They're one in the same.

Two

Silence is jagged

only when it is blatant.

Noise is always sharp.

Three

Wind only whispers

when no one is listening.

Secrets are not heard.

Four

When it rains, it pours-

Many quite frankly hate it.

I love when it pours.

Five

Sometimes I wonder

why people do certain things.

Then I remember.

Six

Everything I touch

does not really turn to gold

but only sorrow.

Seven

Trees with leaves are nice.

However, I prefer the

ones leafless and bare.

Eight

"I am a normal"

said the serial killer.

I am not normal.

Nine

I know it wont last

but I do it anyway-

I'm only human.

Ten

What really happened?

It has been so very long.

I don't want to know.

So there you have it! The evidence of my terrible poet-like capabilities. Well, at least I know what a haiku is now. Hooray!
