A Quick Haiku…

by Eric Socia

Lighthouse

feel like a lighthouse
in love with a hurricane.
i am so far gone.

Sorry folks, just had to get that out of my system… I’m simply elated right now.

I’m not sure what size you can find it in. I searched Flickr for lighthouse images and that’s one of the ones I found. :)

Nice haiku, I really liked it.

The picture is beautiful as well. Where did you find it?

Thank you for that! :)

I found the picture on Flickr after searching for lighthouse images.

Isn’t it nice to have a blog that you can spill things to even if they don’t make any sense? It’s nice.

I tried to come up with a comment in haiku form, but I only come up with:

Why so elated?

for the first line :/

Comment by Eric Socia
2008-04-18 18:25:19

Why so elated?

A girl. That’s why. ;)

And if I had gotten a haiku comment, I would have been uber-excited. But, such is life. =P

Eric, Congrats! Women will do that to do. Now if this girl is the hurricane, what does that mean?

It means that when she leaves she will take your house and car

Ooh that is funny. So what does the “feel like a lighthouse” part mean? That you’ll be stuck if she does take your stuff? Just kidding. I think we are reading way too much into it. Congrats with the girl Eric.

Hi Eric

Excellent haiku

Not many people understand the haiku poetry format and I think that is because it does not have to rhyme.

Great, now you just reminded me its Hurricane season (technically in Florida, Hurricane season is January to December).

Solid Haiku nonetheless.

Nice haiku, and good matching photo.

Why not creating a weekly “haiku” column?

 
Comment by hijinks
2008-04-29 05:35:31

I always wondered if ‘feel’ had one syllable. If it was fe-el or just feel. Haiku’s to the rescue!

i have to give it up to you. most of the time I hate haikus, but that was actually pretty well done.

This makes it sound like you are quite the masochist. I’m not sure if that is what you were going for, haha. Maybe it is just the situation. I guess it wouldn’t be masochism if you can’t deny the love since it would be out of your hands.

Very interesting, anyway.

Cool Haiku :D Well done for the PR.

The image of the lighthouse is awesome by the way. I’m a big fan of Flickr, that was a great find.

I just looked up haiku on wikipedia and I am still confused. It seems like you just throw three lines of random thoughts together. But maybe I just don’t have a poetic mind:)

Nice Haiku Eric.
Do you often write them?
I´m trying to start my own haiku writing, but metrics always kill me, so I tend to stick with my short stories

My favorite part in your haiku is “in love with a hurricane.” The lighthouse is personified as a person that is capable of falling in love — and rightfully so, since it is a romantic image.

Great Haiku. I just love poems. The one type of poem that I haven’t quite conquered yet is the Haiku. I just love nature, so I really shouldn’t have a problem getting used to this format.

Great poem Eric!
