[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

hahaha, you poor thing, I am getting in your head :)

[Silent Kim aka mizmetap..]

You're doing your thing with these Haiku's I've been doing them too, on my blog.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Actually these are senryus... haikus and about nature. I love doing them.

[Silent Kim aka mizmetaphysicallady]

Oh really. The folks on in my blog site call them all haiku's and we aren't only writing about nature. I like doing them too. They come very easy to me. It's Google time. :_)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well they are incorrect. You might want to educate them.

HAIKU ..a major form of Japanese verse, written in 17 syllables divided into 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, and employing highly evocative allusions and comparisons, often on the subject of nature or one of the seasons.

[J.J. NIGHTINGALE]

senryu

a three-line unrhymed Japanese poem structurally similar to a haiku but treating human nature usually in an ironic or satiric vein. It is also unlike haiku in that it usually does not have any references to the seasons. Senryu developed from haiku and became especially popular among the common people about the 18th century. It was named for Karai Hachiemon (pen name Senryu), one of the most popular practitioners of the form

[Silent Kim aka mizmetaphysicallady]

Thanks for this information. I may have one or two real Haiku's there. I will Dale. I will be busy next week on my blog.

[Silent Kim aka mizmetaphysicallady]

With the Senryu do they use the same formula? 5,7,5 syllables?

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes.

[Silent Kim aka mizmetaphysicallady]

Okay I just posted some that I wrote. Two that would be Senryu and one that I believe to be Haiku's.

That's why he is the Grasshopper.

Hopefully I don't get stepped on.

Confucius, is not David Carradine suffocated by his own lust for never ending ecstasy..great anecdote

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you sir.

[Androglossia]

On this write, I sensed superior authority or power on either two people in a relationship. I could be wrong but it is what's closer to mind. I'm not sure if it is a guiding influence or a supremacy over the other. There is also a sense of submission. For me, this write could be taken ito a wide variety of contexts. This is once again a good piece, Sir.

[KAOlmsted]

Zenryu...hell yeah. Wax on, wax off. I love this one, Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Remember balance is key...
thank you.

[KAOlmsted]

Always my pleasure.

[emmajoy]

read three times, like the form, love the thought .. wish i understood .. but sometimes understanding detracts from the mystery

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Understanding comes from what you take from it wether it was what I intended or not. Always nice hearing from you.

[emmajoy]

well, solving a mystery takes time, maybe that has its advantages. :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

A very wise thought classy lady.

[emmajoy]

:)

[Marie]

Yes. zenru. I like that.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you.

[DIVYA]

...and for me this one was hard to understand :(

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

that's okay, you can't get me all the time... besides it is not about understanding what i am saying, it is about what you see.

[DIVYA]

I know...
But nice hearing from you anyway.
Hope you're having a nice day! :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Always good hearing from you too... have a good day :)
