Humans as playthings

Author notes

My first haiku.
-.-
I swear, I'll get better...or stop writing haikus. =D

1st "haiku"-9 syllables
2nd "haiku"-11 syllables
Man, do these even qualify for haikus? Apparently, haikus don't have to be a 5-7-5 format...thank God. I still don't think these are right though...at least, not TECHNICALLY.

The Matrix inspired this haiku...too bad it won't do it justice, but the movie flat-out ROCKS!!!

...I swear, all these poems inspired/based on The Matrix should dissolve in a few weeks. =D

Honesty appreciated. So are compliments. =]

    Excellent

    They flow nicely
    and the syllable count is not manditory
    but only a suggest goal to aim for
    and they are usually written in the present tense.
    Punctuation/capitalization is frowned upon by many
    including myself.
    Haiku are suposed to be nature related
    with at least a vague seasonal reference.

    This would be more like a Senryu
    which is the same
    except it references
    human nature or emotions.

    Whatever it is I loved it
    and you should definitly keep trying.

    • I love punctuation...only capitalization for prose...and the beginning of a poem. =D Screw rules!! I'm going to bend them 'til they break and call them haikus. Thanks for your comment
  • The matrix is freakin BALLIN, ahahaha. Good job on the haikus, mmm i love them. Haikus dont ahve to be in a 5-7-5 format, thats how they we're used traditionally. The new age of the modern shatters a lot of traditional braces. But nice job again! we should work together on them they're so FUN!

  • LOL. Can you ever do form poetry?
    Please.. don't. Just, don't.

    These aren't /really/ haikus.. cause they ARE 5-7-5.. and yours are like, yeah. Just.. STAY FREE JESSICA!!
    DON'T CONFORM!!
    STAY FREE!!
    FREE YOUR MIND.

    Matrix moment there.

    • You could've just said you didn't like them...LMAO.
      It says on my AN that haikus ARE not 5-7-5 necessarily in the English language...
  • ooohhhhhh, pretty rainbow, lol, this is pretty much awesomness

    hope youi are well
    your friend, stephanie
