Your Life In Haiku

[ 6 May 2008 ]

Haiku
Photo by manganite.

If you were to write a haiku about your life at this very moment, what would it say?

Remember, the format is 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syallbles, & theoretically it should involve something about nature.

Mine might be…

I love this city.
We wake up early to roam,
with hair like wild vines.

or…

My darling FedEx,
Please deliver my new boots (!!!)
Love, A Girl Possessed.

or…

I love Simon. I
love Simon. I love Simon.
Don’t go to London!

or…

So, celebrities
love Pinkberry. I’m sad to
say they have no taste.

How about you?


Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala <3

  1. Hey, how about that, first at something for, erm, the first time in my life! Now if only I could think of a haiku…

  2. Free from essays now
    I wander about in red
    Black and grey, all day

    (I’ve decided those are my colours for the week!)

  3. Busy, busy girl
    Sleepless as a moonlight night
    When it is so full.

    <3 Heather · May 6, 09:43 AM · #
  4. I will go in my
    Sunny hammock and speak my
    Mothertounge loudly

    Ahh Welsh oral tomorrow!

  6. Adrift on grey seas
    Searching for an island home
    I float and count stars

  7. Hot sweltering sun
    Finals finally over
    Lover take me home.

  8. I was reminded
    I have the option to do
    Anything I want!

    (Explanation: I’m in college, and it gets really stressful, but sometimes things happen and people say things that remind me what great options I have…the possibilities are endless!)

  9. ike a sinking stone
    I fall deeper into sleep
    when will I wake up?

    rolling down a hill
    of brand new sweet green grasses
    never-ending spring

    swirling in the mist
    reaching out; finding nothing
    can’t hold on to air

    <3 JessicaRabbiT · May 6, 10:17 AM · #
  10. Hurry up and ring,
    I want to go out and play
    in the grass all day!

    <3 Shauna · May 6, 10:18 AM · #
  11. Pinkberry, my friend.
    Don’t listen to Gala.
    All the more for me!

    ;)

  12. Just one more exam
    Before summer, of my god
    Terrified of home

    <3 Rachel · May 6, 10:21 AM · #
  13. Londres is hot and sunny at the moment but ultimately, still crap.

  14. I love haikus! They keep popping up in my life a lot recently… weird.

    Life back in Boca
    Sunny and beachy and calm
    I wait for him here

    <3 LP · May 6, 10:36 AM · #
  15. awoke in the night
    ate a fist of berries, then
    fell back asleep to

    hang out in our dreams
    your dad said “don’t cry i’ll buy
    you a tissue”, we

    kiss in the dumpster
    altering our perceptions
    of cleanliness+love

    <3 queercat · May 6, 10:40 AM · #
  16. Ah! I just can’t wait
    Days in the Dominican
    Will surely be sweet!

  17. my heart is curled up
    and running into corners

  18. i waited for a
    bus so that i could come home
    it took an hour

    hottest day of the year

    it really is so warm here, i reckon i’ve been burned from the sun by sitting inside, my arms are sore :(

  19. Uhhm..

    It’s sunny outdoors,

    In a real cold room.

  20. monday is here now
    a beginning; a new start
    the sun is shining!

  21. hi gala, red mango is much better than pinkberry! it’s actual frozen yogurt. now on to business:

    sitting at my desk
    working in a cubicle
    i still love my job!

    hard to believe, but it’s not bad at all!

    <3 nerdyspice · May 6, 11:18 AM · #

  23. two and a half weeks,
    never no more school for me,
    about to be free… :)

  24. Yay, haiku! That’s where I’m a viking! It used to be a party game, where the poets would just sit around and try to link them together and try to write their haiku better than everyone else. And if you haven’t read the travel journals of Basho, the most well-known haiku poet, you should! I think you’d really like them.

    Platinum blonde now –
    I contemplate cute headbands
    Over morning tea.

    Gladiator heels –
    Yes, an intriguing notion,
    but office-friendly?

    OH MAN GOSSIP GIRL
    OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME
    IS IT NEXT WEEK YET

    <3 Jeanne · May 6, 11:35 AM · #
  25. It’s so nice outside
    And yet, I’m in here working
    I want to go play

  26. eating cereal
    as my lung ache fiery
    ditch class for doctor?

    <3 Lauren · May 6, 11:51 AM · #
  27. Oo I have those boots in brown, they are excellent!

    I really like your haikus, especially the first one! Hair like wild vines sounds lovely

    <3 jess · May 6, 11:53 AM · #
  28. Looking back I see
    Something I want to change, but
    Can I do it right?

    ——-

    Summer days are here
    Sunshine, green grass, lemonade
    Still nights on the roof

    ——-

    I sit outside and
    Wait for the calmness of rain
    Look up, see the sky

    ——-

    I wake one morning
    Find a quiet empty house
    That echoes with loss

    <3 Lain · May 6, 11:56 AM · #
  29. Holy crap so cold,
    Scarf beanie gloves not working,
    Time for some green tea

    <3 Ivy · May 6, 11:56 AM · #
  30. Gala you’re crazy.
    Pinkberry is the dankness.
    Try it with mango!

    Hehe :)

  31. Together again,
    how long will it last this time,
    I hope forever.

    or

    Sat alone outside,
    admiring the sunshine,
    squeezing through the trees.

    <3 Kortnee · May 6, 12:02 PM · #
  32. Working on her life
    hoping to be successful
    but it’s slow going.

    or

    Changes in my life
    make me what I am today
    and I am happy.

    <3 Trisha · May 6, 12:09 PM · #
  33. Gala—don’t forget to come to brooklyn! it’s where the REAL people live :)

    <3 Anna · May 6, 12:18 PM · #
  34. I am restless now
    writhering and squirming oh!
    my heart demands change.

    <3 Stefanie · May 6, 12:19 PM · #
  35. Physics exam is
    Waiting for me. I am not
    A happy camper.

    Just realized that
    I was in New York at the
    Same time as Gala.

    Peppermint green tea
    Is wildly delicious! I
    Like it with grilled cheese.

    <3 Kate · May 6, 12:24 PM · #
  36. dreary work daytime,
    when will you finally end?
    I have better plans

    or …

    I can feel summer
    a twinkling into being
    now where is my skirt?

    or …

    hungry for a change
    maybe I’m getting closer
    to the person me

    or …

    Wonka goggles love
    the world is skewed by bug eyes
    I like seeing it

  37. Excruciating
    Pain from sitting
    What should i do now?

    I danced (all types) for over ten years, and i was diagnosed with a torn labrum recently. The injury is also causing knee pain and numbness throughout my leg. I cannot sit down with extreme pain, i cannot climb stairs, i cannot bend over or lift my right leg without excruciating pain, etc. I’ve had 15+ scans with countless injections, and am currently in PT. my orthopedist also thinks that i have pulled tendons too tight. My hip “pops” or “snaps” at least 5 times a day (absolute minimum)

    Any advice?

    <3 Kelly! · May 6, 12:33 PM · #
  38. Reading the tarot,
    for fate of my summer,
    choose or be chosen.

    <3 MagpieDandy · May 6, 12:40 PM · #
  39. the sunshine is lovely,
    except when your ex spoils it
    by doing drugs, sigh.

    strawberry ice cream
    and cigarettes in the sun
    what a lovely day!

    today i went to
    a communal scream, it was
    cathartic as hell!

    <3 sophie~ · May 6, 12:45 PM · #
  40. I do wonder if
    His pocket watch is broken
    I feel no time pass

    Examination.
    They simply will not test me
    On things i´m good at

    I sit wait and wish
    That katamari damacy
    Will roll me his heart

    <3 martha x · May 6, 12:48 PM · #
  41. Oh these are so good! I love martha’s examination one. :D Exactly my thoughts!!

    If I go to the
    Party as a go-go girl
    Will it spark true love?

    <3 nerdyspice · May 6, 01:48 PM · #
  47. I miss my little
    beautiful niece when I am
    stuck writing papers.

    She was born two weeks ago today and I have a week and a half of classes and finals before I can go home again.

    <3 Scarlett · May 6, 01:52 PM · #
  48. Oooh, speaking of mochi, there is a frozen yogurt shop in Flushing called Red Mango that has mini-mochi has a topping. Obviously, way better than Pinkberry!

    i think the Future
    is a pathway of events
    each rides a sun beam

    every dancefloor is
    a beach, every brisk walk, a
    music video

    <3 ansi · May 6, 01:59 PM · #
  49. Shells under my feet
    Hair swept back in wild tendrils
    Eyes matching the sea

    A sweet remembrance
    Of a past season, found in
    The scent of bonfires

  51. organic chem is
    ruining my life. i want
    to go play outside!

    my team berates me
    about saturday loving
    they are just jealous

    and kelly!, sorry about your knee/hip- that is awful! I’ve been through a lot of PT for tendonitis/fluid in my knees/dislocated ankles and I’ve subluxed my hip 2x (partially dislocated) from dance and rugby, so I know how that feels to have it ‘popping’ when you walk.
    follow through with the PT for sure, but if you have the time and $$, I’d suggest trying to find a good chiropractor. mine did all kinds of marvelous things for me with realigning my legs/hips/back and helping me prevent the muscle spasms that were messing up my ankle socket. If nothing else, it might help with the joint pain. best of luck!

    <3 emelline · May 6, 02:31 PM · #
  52. ansi — i recommended red mango as well in comment 21! i actually just had it for the first time yesterday and i am hooked! they also have cap’n crunch as a topping. mmm. there is a new one in manhattan, but i’m not sure if they have multiple locations there. just in time for spring! ahem:

    just in time for spring,
    lovely red mango froyo…
    cap’n crunch on top!

  55. I asked a flower
    whether I would go to Prom
    It said I would not

    It is beautiful
    but I’m not allowed to shave
    becuase of swimteam

    Is it normal for
    a sophomore to freak out
    about her future?

    Going to Israel
    on June 25, and I
    think I will die of waiting

  56. I can’t haiku to save my life…
    But I wonder what it is about Pinkberry?
    Like, I spotted the thug of all thugs, Suge Knight there dining on a frozen yogurt masterpiece…it must be an L.A. thang.

    <3 Nubby · May 6, 03:11 PM · #
  57. I don’t have a haiku right now, but I did buy a book of haikus once called Hipster Haiku, and I definitely reccomend it to one and all. Here is a small sampling:

    When the tattoos creep
    Past the sleeve line to knuckles,
    Time to quit retail.

    My bike frame tangles
    With yours on the curb outside
    Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

  67. Oh my! You ordered frye boots? I might turn into a green jealousy-monster!! I love frye bootsss, I’ve been eyeing them for a couple of months now! Well, at least, now that you’ll have them, you can show us your fabulous outfit pics and I will fall even more head over heels in love with the boots (if even possible) that I will simply make me HAVE to buy them! I hope you get them verrrry soon!! :D

    As for the haiku:

    Two weeks til exams.
    I am already nervous.
    Wish me lots of luck!

    p.s. I’m sooooo excited for you that you are in NY, you must be squeeking every morning you open your eyes and realise you’re in your favourite city! I have the same with London when I’m there (sooo, why doesn’t Simon just stay in NY and I’ll go to London instead, seems like a fine plan to me! :D) Enjoy your stay lovely Gala!

    Lots of love,
    Fleur!

  73. You guys are great! Hee, I love all your little poems. & I will do my best to try Red Mango if I see it!

    Joleeeeeen — Yup, he is about to board a plane in an hour! But I’m not going with him. Sorry cutie! Next time!

    Lauren — Pinkberry is a frozen yoghurt place, it’s been featured on The Hills a bunch & apparently is a huuuuuuuge deal. People are obsessed with it! So I ordered some. I wasn’t very impressed. I don’t know, yoghurt is just yoghurt to me, maybe I’m missing something but it just doesn’t really turn my crank! So you’re forgiven for being out of the loop, I think it is a pretty silly loop anyway ;D

    Fleur — They arrived about an hour after I mentioned it on here, & even better, they fit me perfectly! I just walked from 50th down to Soho (~36 blocks?) & they were really comfortable. I had to put a bandaid on the back of one of my heels because they were slipping a bit & rubbing, but other than that, they were perfect! I’m SO pleased, eeeeee! They are kind of weird-looking on, almost like a glorified gumboot, but I love them! There are pictures coming, never fear!

    <3 Gala · May 6, 05:50 PM · #

    Haikus are easy
    but sometimes they don’t make sense
    funky applesauce

    just kidding! :]

    umm

  82. Aww, your Simon haiku is so cute! <3 Lots of my friends love Pinkberry—I haven’t tried it myself, but the name alone has made me super curious! Have you ever tried Tast D-Lite? It’s pretty cheap, and they’ve got crazy flavors (my friend tried a peanut butter chocolate cheesecake cone once, she loved it :D).

    I can’t seem to stop
    watching dramas that make me
    shiver in my socks.

    Oh! Oh! Gossip Girl!
    I wish I had seen the last
    episode. Too bad.

    Next weekend I’ll stay
    home with lots of yummy snacks
    and watch them all.

  83. Oh no, Pinkberry!
    Being born and living in Los Angeles I was introduced, and hooked, way back in 2005ish when the first one open. So I am a firm supporter of a company that started with one store and launched over 50 being from my block! Now though, I have completely lost my taste for it but I still think the secret lies in the toppings. May I ask, if it is not too personal, what did you top your yogurt with?

  84. Orientation
    Lots a paperwork to fill
    I dream of high school.

    Three emails today
    A prom dress, a chain letter
    a faraway friend.

    Too restless to work
    Fingers type feverishly
    to form three poems.

  85. My sign for the track meet
    Was torn down in the hallway
    Footsteps on its face

    I retaped it up
    Was late for algebra class
    The teacher’s stare scalding

    Wondered all day why
    I can’t seem to make good friends

  86. You have me restless, Gala!! I will regale you with my pointless poems (yay alliteration!!)

    When I was young I
    Could be anything I wanted
    Now the walls close in

    Pass by the potheads
    Consider dragging them by
    The ears to their mums

    My father is short
    He does overcompensate
    I duck when I see him

    A glob by her lip
    Orange goo tests my gag reflex
    Nacho cheese is nasty

  87. Trisha — Nope, never tried Tasti Delite, or however you spell it, but I probably will, just because I saw Charlotte eating it on Sex & The City once. Haha! Is that sad?!

    Katie — I had plain yoghurt with strawberries, raspberries & chocolate chips. They seemed like the most sane options. Sugary cereal & whatnot isn’t really my bag ;D Yoghurt isn’t really good for me anyway, any dairy basically just blocks my sinuses, it’s not worth it! (Blue cheese & camembert on the other hand…)

  88. i never actully written a haiku till today…
    it was very interesting

    annoying chick friends
    they confuse me about things
    why do they do it?

  89. I can’t believe everyone came up with haikus and Gala came up with soo many! Congratulations. I will try….

    I would love some mint
    chocolate chip ice cream now
    or a magazine

  90. Please grandma,
    I can’t stand how cute you were
    at my age,
    So stop giving me chocolate cookies!

    (i’m making a movie with old pictures for my grandpa’s 70 bday, and my grandma was incredibly, strikingly beautiful when young. she’s still gorgeous)

    Maybe I’m a slacker,
    I wish this week would never end,
    calm before the storm

    (first week in ages I don’t have anything to do for the uni)

    Looking at my sis’ ex in pictures
    Is weird
    Don’t know why,
    it freaks me out

    (wtf? o_O)

    My Warcraft girl’s new axes,
    make her look so YARRR,
    But standing in ther feet
    Must be so scary!

    (I love my World of Warcraft character. She has 2 new axes and makes me feel like a viking warrior. Which is so AWESOME)

  91. Dressing a small child

    not ‘sick’, a health day!

    <3 Kate · May 7, 12:05 AM · #
  93. fran: I know exactly how you feel! There are pictures of my grandma when she was young, and I was so surprised at how pretty she looked. I don’t know, it’s just weird to think of her as being just like me, once upon a time. In a good way, of course.

    <3 Trisha · May 7, 12:15 AM · #
  94. Pretty little girl
    Sits in the park with
    Her new-found suitor

    Crumpled vintage dress
    Lies at the foot of the bed
    Until next night out

    Cupcake girl ponders
    Whether she should return to
    Her former lover

    Girl buying burlesque
    Lingerie wonders if he
    Will appreciate

    <3 Jessabelle · May 7, 01:17 AM · #
  95. Opening our home
    full of choc’late and flowers
    to meet a new friend

    My husband clean the kitchen
    awaiting dinner.

  99. Sun is out today
    Lab reports need to be done
    exams coming soon

    Late nights with coffee
    Papers mount up rapidly
    exams coming soon!

    Hair tearing under the moon
    White girl sitting ALL alone
    EXAMS COMING SOON!

    ————-
    You can tell what’s going on in my life, haha.

  100. 5-7-5

    haiku 1:
    Procrastinating
    A girl sits idly alone
    dreaming—days ahead.

    haiku 2:
    Stress makes hair turn white
    Not the pleasant white hair
    A frizzy style.

    haiku 3:
    the word “haiku” makes
    me think of a boy i knew
    —he was not so kind.

    haiku 4:
    Frantically stress
    worried for the future, now,
    should have studied then.

    DDD: i need happiness!

    <3 Nana · May 7, 03:57 AM · #
  101. at an abstract/emo-tional level:

    conscience has grown stale,
    as i begin to sense the
    approach of nothing.

    at a practical level:

    i failed the maths test
    and three essays overdue
    year twelve sucks balls, mate.

  103. I love packages,
    torn paper like a passport,
    anticipation.
