2 x EGA 2009 tix to win: haiku poetry competition

Recommended Posts

These are my entries.

Thanks for the competition,

man with the tickets.

Eternally me

I know its disappearing

Though already gone

WHERE must I be then?

I can feel the WOUNDED MAN-

THEY are hurting me!

Through corners they wind

Immaterial serpents

Illusioned by Crick

We all must have rights.

To have formed an opinion,

even if its lies?

Stay true to the cause

Continuing to narrow

Acuminating

Traditionalist-

Maintaining your position,

in a modern world.

Look how small it is

It’s not worth a single thing

Rather being whole

The satyr’s chorus

It’s a tragicall event,

they play the goat song!

Packaged stimulus,

un-sustainability

perpetuating.

Gone with the fairies.

Hear laughs for want of torture?

My dear changeling child!

Post modernity,

defies rationality.

Burning bridges fall!

Haiku your world view.

Angle your own perspective,

to hit the target!

Two conflicting views,

in the space of a minute.

The world is complex

Yes, tickets we need.

I’ll be heading to Swanpool

Hope to see you there.

Stripped and pierced with hooks,

torturers flee dove from lips,

whiteness marring flames.

Not ego, tickets.

It’s about the tickets man,

Still 10 days till sale.

Wow, the date is set

This year i will get answers

And many more questions

In the bush alone

Existing alone, no where

Modern world confusion

Don't forget your past

Old words and thoughts can teach you

About your old self

Well, let the huge distance between the place of happening and me not withstand me from posting a haiku:

A purple moment

Shared with true delight and joy

A flower, blooming

Thank you.

Yes, that one was nice too, it was a purple morning glory. I only replaced it since the current beauty is flowering right outside in my small garden pond. :)

Lips as soft as hers

Velvet voice glides through the air

Singing praise for life

Young seedling, relaxed

Fully aware of itself

Holds wisdom inside

Why oh why is me

Deep dark and dank

Hold on for I come

A light that can't see

A thought escaped the place

Hold on for I leave

A sound that can't hear

Robber robber thief

Hold on for I grieve.

Hutch :wink:

no sure what you mean but i was intending to close the comp next sunday, divide them into the ethnobotany/psychedelic and non-specific categories and narrow them down until i have one winner from each category. my friend kristina is brilliant at haiku and has had hers published, so i figured i'd also get her input in deciding the winner.

my temptress jenna

woefully bad taste in men

but i forgive her :P

bump

final reminder: comp finishes tomorrow (sun 12 july) @ noon. 2 x tickets to EGA still up for grabs! browsing through there's a lot of great poems but there's still plenty of time to submit a winning entry!

you're welcome to post a haiku after this, but your poem won't be eligible for the tickets

stifled by hard clay

my roots they can never set

wanting for the loam

should he look away

this will all come to pass now

mesmerized by guilt

i see within you

a reflection of myself

tears roll down my face

Won't you sign on for

modern life's pyramid scheme?

You can watch TV!
