Haiku-ed

It feels goooood to be in front of the comp! Haha. I've realised how I react to stress; I basically turn into an escapist. My procrastination's testament to that. Argh. I'm slack! (Drats did I just say the S word?) Nevermind.

I've been surfin' around for haikus, and here're my favs =) :

Silence--a strangled
Telephone has forgotten
That it should ring
Michael R. Collings

Faceless, just numbered.
Lone pixel in the bitmap-
I, anonymous.
Chris Spruck

The winds that blow -
ask them, which leaf on the tree
will be next to go.
Takahama, Kyoshi

Rustling of papers,
Caught up in a silent storm.
There I am-- midget
Me!

I've cooked up one of my own, for good measure. It sure takes my mind off studying!

Generally, Japanese haikus follow the rule of having 5, 7, then 5 syllables respectively for each line. But English haikus don't really follow that too strictly. Interesting form of poetry. HahaZ. Kay back to playing couch potato, then I'll decide if I'm clear-headed enough to continue mugging.

Books away!
