Question: Poems: Are these good haiku`s or not!?
I wrote these haiku`s looking at this pic!. What do you think "haiku experts"!?

http://media!.photobucket!.com/image/black!.!.!.

Which one sounds best!?

Exhausted bright star
Entranced I'm drawn into your
Mystical black spell!.

Baby blues passed on
You're in heaven now afloat
Death the beginning

?8/14/08

Blue Devils shooting
Floating gracefully through space
Fortune tellers lie

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The last one is by far the winner!. "fortune tellers lie" says so much in 5 syllables!. I'm actually quite memorized with this line!. It's open for so many interpretations!. I don't like the word "shooting" though!. It just sounds goofy and, for some reason, awkwardly out of tense!. Any other two syllable word that you could replace it with!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like the first one, though the "your" is throwing me off

I also like the third one, I just think the last line could be changed


The second one was Ok for me

I have nothing against you but I am not opening links right now!. I just got rid of hundreds of viruses on my computer and I am very cautious about opening anythingWww@QuestionHome@Com

I'm no haiku expert, but I think all of them are good, with the first one being the best; It painted my blank imagination (blank at that moment, but not now :)

stay well,

The many moods of Mom!. Of course they are good, you wrote them :-)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really think the first is the best, but they are all interesting, and you stayed with the form!. Well done!Www@QuestionHome@Com

lovely image!. :) thanks for sharing it!. :)

my favorites are the first two haikus!. :) again, in the second, you went for at least dual meanings, where 'baby blues' can refer to someone, or to the blue planet in your image!. this time though, you bring in the idea of a rebirth (in two ways, afterlife or post-black-hole-suction), which wasn't present in the first haiku!.

i'll probably go for the first!. :) mostly because its various meanings are easier to appreciate, even without seeing the image on which these haikus were based!.

hope that helps!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
