Take these words that lay ahead of you
And bring them to life
Feed them and love them
Bring the best out of them
And soon a simple sentence will have full meaning
And you’ll see more in you
And a little glimpse of what the world holds for you

Take these words that lay ahead of you
And bring them to life
Feed them and love them
Bring the best out of them
And soon a simple sentence will have full meaning
And you’ll see more in you
And a little glimpse of what the world holds for you
Don’t speak, just be you
That’s all I will ever ask
Remember those words

You read first sentence
You read the second sentence
Ignore this sentence
Thinking of the words
Just an empty document
Fill it with meaning
Your cries can’t be heard
Your desires are shut down
Everything is gone
I have many dreams
They all scream
Screams of joy
But I’m just a small boy
This world is big
On a tree I’m just a twig
One of my dreams I’ve done
Going to the USA has begun
I have more dreams
They are all in a frigid stream
Running away from me
All I can do is just see
See my dreams going into that empty space
They disappear without a trace
I just keep dreaming
And keep re-dreaming
And hope one won’t slip away
And that a dream will stay
This is just my thoughts and they don’t really mean much, but at the same time why not write something?
I feel like writing only three short lines would be very easy, but I see my own writings, and others that I say that just didn’t come out right. A lot of them just can’t speak to you very well. Then, I pondered the idea what is a good haiku?
I believe a way/format/concept of a haiku is the following:
First line- Abstract idea
Second line- Abstract idea
First two lines just need to be separate thoughts/unrelated
The third line- Gives you the insight
Whether it explains the common ground between the first two lines or it brings up a new concept and the first two lines somehow fit into it.
A human being
See what you can’t see
Love what you never loved
A better human
This haiku has gotten a lot of attention, and it is over 2-3 weeks old, and it still gets views everyday.
The first two lines leave you at the thought of So What? And the third line brings it back together. Maybe this way of constructing a haiku can be looked at like a metaphor with an explanation at the end.
