Post subject: | Star Lit Race |
kk. This will make no sense to anybody who's never read "The Simarillon" by Tolkien. I wrote it after reading "The Simarillon". Star Lit Race In the time of Powers so great none can tell In a time of the birth of trees of pale light When Evil was born in the heart of but one And Love was persecuted in the death of Creations The wars of the gods against an outcast generator And the Light of The One was manifested by Valar A time so forgotten, except told in children's tales Before even Arwen and Aragorn A time of Beasts of Fire and Hells flames A time of Fearies and Dragon's Banes So lost are the tales of Wizardry and fame Of Lore so Gone none can rename Deep mossy forests covered in roots Before a silent centaur stargazing so mute And the eyes of lesser Angels falling to insanity To the call of one who would rather be majesty Many would come and help in his cause Many would be forced to break eternal laws But in the end the Truth be told Nothing would matter after evil's so bold Destruction would be the end of those ways And paradise would come forever to stay But in new creations none can foretell Others would most certainly rebel Causing great rifts in time to occur So that once again proof would have to be spent To show that the Light will always endure And Darkness would however it thought Never again cause pain and distraught In the plains of the light of trees like to the first Dwelling in painless happiness and sweet new birth Under the light of a new beginning to forever know The Truth and the Givings with purposes new And Morgoth in firey eternal chains Sown in these hearts the cleansing Rain And on Their Faces the Light of Eru 2002 |

Post subject: | Haiku |
Ty Bell Whisper, is that a haiku? I've never written one myself. I really liked that. |
Author: | Prymalrage [ Tue Dec 09, 2008 2:07 am ] |

Mostly. Haikus usually create an image of an out door seen. I like to use other things as well. I also like th 5-7-5 syllable format. The last line must be a season. |

The last line doesn't have to be a season, although traditionally a haiku will always reference a season. The important thing is that the last line contains some kind of... um... I guess "twist" is maybe the best word, or transition... an additional thought that transforms the previous two lines, and takes them someplace unexpected. So, to take a very basic example, the first two lines might be about watching the blossom in springtime, and the final one about the sadness that a lover is no longer there to see it. A pretty poem about delicate blossom is switched into a tale of lost love, and ideally, that twist should make you re-evaluate the previous two lines - so in this case, you may end up seeing the blossom as something fragile and short-lived, like the love affair. It's all very clever stuff, and I've never been able to do it properly. (Use 17 syllables to wriie something? Are you, like, insane? I need a five and a half chapter epic saga just to say 'good morning!' ) I probably ought to give it another go though - am going lots of editing down of writing at the minute, and it'd be a good challenge... *muses* Anyway, the 2nd –> 3rd line transition doesn't have to be blatant, it can be very subtle or symbolic, but it's what a lot of people miss out when writing haikus - they just concentrate on the syllable count. And it's why Whisper's ones posted here work so well, because they transition perfectly! |

Lovers Roses bloom; sunshine Lips like soft fragrant petals Dew kisses bodies Chimes Ringing harmony Little bells stir in the wind Golden leaves on trees |
