You guys remember what a haiku is? It's a very short poem with only three lines. The first and last line has five syllables, while the middle line had seven syllables.
I had an idea: why not write a full-length poem..... where every stanza is a haiku?
I initially start this piece by explaining what a haiku basically is. As I wrote however, I somehow lost touch with reality and started blasting them apes (i.e. some of my peers) who mock what I'm doing.
To them poets are either show-offs or a freak of nature. I still can't believe that at their age (sixteen at that time) they can be so immature. Oh, well.... I can't hate them for that, can I? They're.... misguided, not evil.
This isn't a good poem. But of course, as I said earlier, I lost touch with reality halfway through.
A Different Poem
A different poem
Composed by yours-so-truly
It's called a haiku
Five on the first line
Seven on the second line
And five on the third
Full of hope and love
Packed with horror and mystery
Filled with much intrigue
I've had no regrets
Investing in these strange words
Expressing my thoughts
Yet people still smirk
At what I've been doing
Ignorant are they
If you're not a fool
Please do remember that I
Am not one either
For I am writing
Words that will make you quiver:
A different poem.
