Haiku maybe help? (now also with limerics!)

[NTL.]

kikme laughs so much
Las cannot do anything
I need need to practice

[Femme Stab Mode >:D]

I care not about
rules. Stupid rules. pah!
Who needs those things, hmmm?

[NTL.]

But its not haiku
now, you need to learn them right
five, seven, five, There!

[TheYak]

Ah but haiku is
merely limited to less
than seventeen beats

the five-seven-five
format is accepted now
as a sort of law

this is not the case
check in references if
you do not believe

I stay with this way
because the limitation
is more challenging

[bspeers100]

haiku post works,
but now it's so long a time,
these words hovered here.

Could we now move this,
as a fly from spider's web,
unstuck & releas'd?

Oh, please don't kill me
for such sacraligious thoughts.
Reeds bow with the wind.

[Unilin]

Swiming in despair,
Despondency overwealms,
The soul only sighs.

and;

Light kisses the land
Dewdrops gather on petals
Dawn arrives once more.

[Dmitri]

I understand not
What Unilin just stated
but it sounded cool

[Unilin]

Green toads chirp softly
Water drops fly when they leap
Golden light lingers

[Raggit]

How long can this go?

Is it friend or foe?

I'll never know!

*Raggit accepts award for the dumbest rhyme of all time!*

[DragonRose]

Thread not about rhyme
Thread is about the RHYTHM
Non-haiku is bad

Do not block the flow
Using rhymes with no metre
Always is haiku

I just read a book
Of comics called "Get Fuzzy"
A cat did haiku

"I like catnip mice
That's why I bite their heads off
They're good for breakfast"

Haiku equals fun
Five seven five forever
Long live the haiku

[Raggit]

Yet ANOTHER reason why I get the dumb awards!

[Femme Stab Mode >:D]

Raggit, I remind
you, this is about haiku.
is "haiku" two beats?

[BruisedWeasel]

tears running through
fingers cold, maybe someday
things will be better.

for now clenched teeth-SCREAM!
no vice can allow escape.
only weep, and wait.

[TheYak]

Air shatters like ice
A squeal claws into the soul
Wind from departure

I did not see it
I could only give an ear
now my cat is gone

[Raggit]

I KNOW!

Thats why I'm a moron!

[BruisedWeasel]

Goth Haiku, failure?
No, just baka. Totemo baka.
Not that frogs are great....

Look at me "ribbit"
I ares frog on lillypad.
I jump off and SPLASH!


*yes, I've lost the ability to count. I hang my head in shame. I have brought dishonor to my family. I am preparing for exile in the mountains*

[TheYak]

Since this thread has less
posts than the picture-post thread
we prize vanity

We would like to see
Ourselves and those around us
More than use our minds

Don't mind me you guys
This thread has not been here long
Just helping my spawn

[Esseb]

Watishi wa namae ka?
Watishi wa Esseb desu.
Nihongoga wakkarimas.


Ok, so the syllables aren't 5-7-5, but it's Japanese at least.

[Pumaman]

Raggit, listen here
Speak haiku, or leave this thread
Never to return

[Squinky]

The time for love is
Gone now from the surgery
What does this mean, eh?
