ばか！バカ！　馬鹿ー月！

For those who are aspiring poets and lyricists, this is your thread and time to shine. Post your haiku, poetry, and song lyrics here. They can be whatever you want and about whatever you want. Just keep them SFW, okay?

三日月に
僕は天罰
をもらったか。

前世から
再来世までも
愛してる

朝共に
あなたと起きる
幸せだ

Putting this to song lyrics:

We are all like sheep without a shepherd,
We don't know how to be alone,
So we wander around this desert,
And wind up following the wrong God's home.
But the flock cries out for another,
and they keep answering that bell.
and one more starry eyed-messiah
meets a violent farewell
learn to be still.

-The Eagles, Learn To Be Still


Also, on an unrelated note, I've never fully understood why haikus have become a part of learning English in school. The syllables just don't really line up very well. So much more can be said with Japanese in one syllable than in english with one. Just weird to me.

@hobogunner: poetry in english has enough natural forms as it is for students to have to know how to westernize haiku, i realized that as well because i suffered the same dilemma a couple years ago. then again, having to do décima in Filipino and American English pretty much relegated me to the free-verse department..

歩きつずける

non-sequitur: i kinda remember the time when double-posting wasn't exactly considered acceptable around here, but i kinda get the feeling most of the new people haven't been raised in the same environment.

孤独のは
果てがあるかな?
遠い過ぎ

季語と切れ
どこに置いたか
忘れたっ

僕は誰？
自身がないか。
生けるのだ。

夜にだけ
咲き誇る花
馨しい
