Haiku: Daring

White paper; naked
Daring me to fill it up
Daring me to write.

i like it. i guess mostly because like any writer i've felt that. and i like how you decided on a short format because there isn't a lot that needs to be said for another writer to understand.

I can relate. I don't think anyone can really give critiques of a haiku, though. They're too short for emotion and before you've said all that's needed to be said, you're done.

I agree with Incandescence. Haikus are fun to read, but you can only agree or disagree, you can't critique. Of course you can relate, too, like with this one...

It's cool.

I saw a really funny topic on another forum where they did a whole topic with everyone speaking in haikus. Haha. We should do that here.

wow, I really liked that

I see what you mean about the naked white paper "daring" you to write.
It's like it's just sitting there, staring you in the face, mocking you.

I just noticed that I'm the first person to write a review in about four years.

That's so typical of me, I never go with the flow! haha

^_^ I think it's good. I like how you used the word naked and not blank or something.

I'm not a particular fan of Haikus, but that one was totally true. And by the way, Firestarter, can you put the link to that Haiku thred on this thread? I feel like Haikuing suddenly.

Here's two thirds of a Haiku directed to that poem.

Soz, I really am. [Five syllables]
But that was really crazy. [Seven syllables]
Uuuuuuh, dunno... maybe I'll write the rest later.

Short and sweet - way to go. Even though most haiku are vague and somewhat detatched, this one is full of feeling. That a paper can dare you to write, or dare you to do anything, really, is an awfully refreshing way to phrase things.


Also, you used a semi-colon. I adore you.
