Lotr Hiaku

[Sicirus]

This is for anyone who wants to do wierd poems.
There is a type of poem called a Hiaku. this is a type of poem that is suppose to describe or paint a picture for the reader and it realy does not have to rhyme. The poem is made up of 3 sentences. there has to be 5 sylables in the first and last sntence and 7 in the middle.
Here is mine:
Glorfindel's ride
Galloping down road,
On a horse that gleams white rode,
The elf Glorfindel.

It is a type of Japanese poetry. Please send me some of you'r Lotr
Hiaku.

"Down the road I galloped. Not a famous knight, not a king or queen,but just Sicirus the weary wolf at flight.

[Spock]

Frodo's dash
the wind howling
water flowing with power high
safe haven reached

[Sicirus]

Good you almost got it .
But it is suppose to have 5 sylables in the first sentence.
Ga-lo-ping down the road.
7
On a horse that gleams wight rode,
5
the elf Glor-fin del
Clap your hands at each sylable if it heps.


"Galloping through the night. Not a famouse knight,king, or queen. But Sicirus the weary wolf at flight."

[Sicirus]

Sorry about all the typing mistaks but i am just learning how to do it correctly.

[GandalfTheWhite]

nice poems

[Elf Girl]

The fair place of Elves,
The watchful city of the wood,
Mystery around.

[Khamûl]

Tall rider in gray
Lover and friend of halflings
Gandalf the wizard

[Sicirus]

Thanks G.t.w .
I wrote another but it realy realy sucks.;)



"Galloping through the night. Not a famouse knight ,king or queen .but Sicirus the weary wolf at flight."

[GandalfTheWhite]

Mines Of Moria

the halls of durin
evil lurking in the depths
infinite darkness

[Sicirus]

Nice one.:)


"Glloping down the road at night. Not famouse knight , KIng or queen. But Sicirus the weary wolf at flight."

[Khamûl]

Saruman

Highest of wizards
Now he is fallen from grace
Corrupted by lust

[Sicirus]

I like it. I hope more come in though. I guess calling the thread Lotr Hiaku was not to luring.:(

[Khamûl]

Well... I rather enjoy it. It's a nice outlet for my suppressed poetic side.:D

[TinuvielChild]

i'd post some, but i am most definitely not a poet. that'd be my friend veronica you want for poetry, not me. :).

oh and Sicirus, if you want to put the "Galloping through the night. Not a famous knight, king, or queen. But Sicirus the weary wolf at flight." at the end of each of your posts, you should put it in your signature. to do this, go to User CP, Edit Profile, and scroll down to the place where you can create your signature. :)

[Khamûl]

Aragorn

Strider the Ranger
He has come to claim his throne
The king Elessar

[Pailan]

Excellant Haikus all! This has much potential...I'll try my hand here.

Grey Gandalf with pipe
Blowing smoke rings in the dusk
Thinks on the one ring.

[Khamûl]

Adventures

Off to some far land
Never knowing what's ahead
Make you late for lunch

[Entlover]

Galadriel

Queen of starlight,
holy warden of Nenya,
clad in simple white.


This is harder than it looks!

Tinuvielchild, or whoever knows, as long as you're sharing your wisdom, can you tell me how to make a link to another site, as when someone types "here"(underlined) and it takes you elsewhere? This is driving me crazy! Thank you.

[Entlover]

Ringbearer

Fresh-faced Bilbo's heir,
mithril-wearer, Sting-wielder,
Reluctant hero.

It's working now. And btw, it's spelled Haiku. Very fun thread!

[Sicirus]

Sorry about that my sppelling is very bad to though I do have X-English teacher for a mom.:)
Oh and thanks TC for the tip I did not know what that meant at first.:D

[Khamûl]

The Bridge of Khazad-Dûm

Gandalf and Balrog
Engaged in a bitter duel
Down into darkness

[Sicirus]

Arwen

Beautiful as moon
Daughter of Elrond mournful
Fate of Luthien

[azalea]

Small dark shape creeps down
Pauses, hisses, looks around,
Soon will join the quest.

[Sicirus]

Good one it realy goes with Gullom.

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

Yes, I'd like to know too!!!

um, a Haiku, hmm. . .

Here's one in praise of entmoot. . .

Where 'ringers' gather
Place of epic discussions
The 'moot is my home

I'll try to come up with some more, later. Haiku are fun, especially LotR ones! Has anyone here read the story 'Basho and the Fox?' :D

[Sicirus]

That one was tight EG I will also try to come up with some more.:)

[Spock]

If you want specific emulation then a direct "story line poetry" approach is wrong.
Japanese Haiku doesn't litterally describe an event as most efforts here have, rather the connection between lines is more metal than literal.

[Entlover]

Huh? Could you say that in English please?

It seems to me that most of these efforts have been descriptions of characters or moments in LotR . . .not attempts at story lines.

[Sicirus]

Here's another one I have come by,
Ring
Evil little ring,
Posses all it comes to,
Destroyed in Mount Doom

[Faramir]

Here's mine

King of the Nazgul
On His dark and evil steed
Flies across the sky...

Here's another

Nasssty little thief!
They stole our Preciousss, they did,
Gollum! It's lost! Noooo!

Are they alright?

[Khamûl]

They sound good to me Faramir. I'll write some later.

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

Thanks, sicirus! :) You'd think after 5 days, I would have thought of some more. Well, I didn't, yet. So I'll go think now. :D

[Faramir]

More:

Sam

I will stand by you,
Through the thick and thin times
I will follow you master.

The Ring

I will always haunt you
I will always gnaw on your mind
You cannot escape...

The Phial of Galadriel

A light in darkness
Strength to a small, frightened soul
Strength for the mind.

There a lot better than the last ones. How are they?

[Sicirus]

You are good. Very good. I like the way you described Sam.

Here I will try again:
Spirit

Free spirit of the West
Beautiful and untam
Wild and free spirit.

[Faramir]

Thank you for the compliment Sicirus.:)

[Entlover]

Faramir, your haiku are very good. I love the one about the phial.





QUOTE: FRODO LIVES!!! YODA IS DA MAN!!! I love Jesus. UNQUOTE.
Apropos of nothing, I don't want to start a theological discussion, but although I'm very fond of Frodo, and think Yoda is cool enough if you like small green gurus, Jesus is in a class by Himself and if you stop to think about it you might not want to lump him along with the others. I wouldn't let them throw me to the lions for Frodo or Yoda.

[Faramir]

Well thank you! I'll have to come up with more!

As for the Frodo, Yoda, and Jesus thing, a moderator messed with my sig, I've been meaning to fix it but I haven't.

[Eruviel Greenleaf]

Two eyes stare at me
Wide and big, from floating log
They wantsss the preciousssss

[Carafin]

Faramir, yours about the phial was very beautiful. here are my humble first attempts:

Helm's deep

translucent marble
frozen clouds of rose and white
waiting in the dark


Lothlorien

a golden leaf floats
on shining silver water
so many farewells

japanese haiku is the art of painting still life pictures with words(at least that is what I think)

[Sicirus]

That is what a haiku is Carafin picture.
Very nice poems by the way Carafin and EG.
I do not have any right now.:(

[Carafin]

I'm on a creative roll! here is another try

Moria
beauty and grandeur
now enshrouded in darkness
sadness fills my heart

thank you sicirus

[Sicirus]

Nice.

Legolas

fast sillent as cat,
friend of gimli master of bow,
prince of green wood forest

[Faramir]

I've been working on some new ones. I hope you enjoy them. :)

The Golden Wood
The Golden Wood, O
Leaves gold, trees of silver bark,
A haven in peril.

The Misty Mountains
The Misty Mountains,
Cold and tall, they watch silent
All who walk their pass.

Mount Doom
Smoke rises and embers leap,
The Mount of Doom is shaking,
While evil is forged.

I think the Mount Doom one is my favorite so far.

[Sicirus]

Reminder:
5 syllables
7 syllables
5 syllables

Nice ones though faramir. try to make it in that order of syllables next time.:)

[Carafin]

sicirus that last line of Legolas is lovely

[Faramir]

Sorry, I think I fixed it. :)

[Sicirus]

thanks :D Carafin.
Let's see what you did Faramir.:)

Gandalf

Grey pilgrim in night,
powerful wizard of white
hero in Middle Earth

[The Ringbearer]

Cirith Ungol

Happiness complete
Sam's bosum friend is now found
He presses him close

Not so good; I havn't written haiku for months and months. I'll work on some more.:)

[Sicirus]

Actually that was pretty good.:)

Gimli

dwarf of Moria
Warrior of strength and pride
friend of Legolas

I know its bad.:p

[Faramir]

I know its bad.:P

I liked it.:)

[Sicirus]

Thanks:)

[Entlover]

Peter's bright vision
leads us all to Middle Earth,
enspelled with longing.

[Sicirus]

very nice poem entlover.:)

But what does it describ?:confused:

[Faramir]

I think it's about the LotR movie, Peter referring to Peter Jackson.

[Entlover]

Thank you. --bows--

Yes, Peter is PJ, and I for one am enthralled by his vision.

[Faramir]

I'm with you Entlover. I don't think very highly of people who can't appreciate it.

[Sicirus]

oh:D :D
lol
How did i miss that?

Nazgul
Black as night time
Once great kings, now nine dark slaves,
Lured by the one ring

[The Ringbearer]

I had an attack of Haiku Fever. :D

Gandalf's last command
Frodo's cry pierces the gloom
Tears in Dimrill Dale

Burdened and weary
Sent upon a hopeless quest
He longs for Bag-End

Eyes searching the ground
Small friends in deadly trouble
A long and vain search

Queen of the Valar
Shining white Star-kindler
Wife of great Manwe

Searching desperately
His master in evil hands
He will not give up

A trustworthy friend
A glad and willing servant
Gardener and elf-friend

Lost king of Gondor
Reluctant to claim his throne
Mighty warrior

A swirling black cloak
A memory of old pain
Beware the Nazgul.....

Lord of the wters
Solitary but happy
Master of the Seas

Golden-haired elf-prince
Untouchable in battle
Longing for the sea

Oooohhhhh. My fingersss.....

[HobbitChick88]

okeydokie, well, her's mine:

The forest Mirkwood
is captured in its beauty
by the love of elves.

It stinks, i know, but what can you do? ;-)

[Entlover]

I like it, Hobbitchick.

Ringbearer, I'm overwhelmed. Not fair that you can rip them out like that. I like best the ones about Frodo (Burdened and weary) and the Nazgul. Excellent!

[Sicirus]

Those were good!
ringbearer and Hobbitchick.:D

[HobbitChick88]

I'm sorry I didn't say anything about yours earlier, Ringbearer, (I was in a bit of a rush:rolleyes:) But those are really awesome!! Man, I wish i could write stuf like that!! :D
