Moto Haiku

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Haiku ( pronounced HI-coo)

Haiku's are traditional Japanese poems written in 5-7-5 syllable lines. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in just three lines.

Here's an example of a Moto Haiku

Twist throttle now go! (5 syllables)
Accellerate, pass others (7 syllables)
Big air on jump, smile (5 syllables)

Another:

Single track heaven
Smell pine and earth when riding
Freedom, beauty, peace

One more:

Race day memory
Engine won't start, getting mad
Must get the button

Now write your own! (Remember 5-7-5 syllable structure)

Heh, do you remember my haiku day in chat. . . . yes, it was a slow day.

snow is falling down
ice blankets the frozen ground
bike sits in garage


Posted by: Papakeith---------------------

first ride on new bike
twist throttle to shoot forward
ice slam me down hard


Posted by: Papakeith---------------------

hairy man-like beast
a funky smell eminates
a yeti named pred


Posted by: XRpredator---------------------

man hug from behind
tiny dancer holds you close
oiled up and naked


Posted by: XRpredator---------------------

from the Isle of Rhode
tiny dancer came dancing
clap skip jump hop "WOO!"


Posted by: Kawidude---------------------

I hear dirt whisper
Grab the throttle and twist it
Nothing left but dust


Posted by: Papakeith---------------------

living in the hills
fearful of the modern man
he seeks solitude


Posted by: Masterphil---------------------

Papakeith and Pred
both are very very strange
maybe they should Wedd


Posted by: Papakeith---------------------

playing into trap
unwitting player enters
cat becomes the mouse


Posted by: Masterphil---------------------

cat sly like a fox
you can't trick this putty-tat
this fly cat tricks back


Posted by: Masterphil---------------------

Ring ding ding ding ding
That's the sound ring-dingers make
Ring ding ding BRRR-AAAPPPP


Posted by: Masterphil---------------------

fart click bang clunk stall
that's what sucky thumpers do
real-heavy real-slow


Posted by: Papakeith---------------------

thumpers own all motosports
2 strokes are old news


Posted by: XRpredator---------------------

anti thumper dudes
need to get out of the past now
accept the future


Posted by: Papakeith---------------------

Pred you are a turd
a turd floating in a bowl
a punch bowl at that


Posted by: MrLuckey---------------------

'Tis four versus two
Many try and many fail
I too can Haiku


Posted by: Masterphil---------------------

mental images

they will cause nightmares

Nice Try!! OKKX'er has formed a new Haiku, the good old 5-5-4 version. Here, I'll try to fix that for you...

Fewer and fewer (5)
The riders who can ride on (7)
The pipe ride faster (5)

But you know what? You can Haiku any old way you want! Natty XOXOXOXXO


Posted by: GETMETOCA---------------------

Here's one for Roosta:

Bring Natty Captain
Laugh very hard til two thirty
