What makes good haiku?

[hondo 50]

What makes good haiku
I really do not get it
Can you explain it

 

[gtopa1]

No I can't
But if I could
I no tell you

Edit: to 5-7-5

No I can not say
But if I could understand
I no tell you now

 

[BULLDOG]

Silent words like streams
Seventeen beats, ebb and flow,
Natures soul unfolds.

 

[gtopa1]

In mid-winter frost
find solace in the melting
And be warm again

[gtopa1]

Now I know the rules
And I see their depth and light
Now darkness is gone

 

[BULLDOG]

In mere five-seven.
Haikus tell more than they seem.
A world in small breaths.

1. Wherever you are, look closely at something that’s in front of you (book, table, dog, flower…).
2. Study this object for a few minutes, and think about it in as many ways as you can. For example:
   —Where it came from
   —How it was made, created, or grown (as applicable)
   —How/where/when it was acquired
   —How it has been used
   —What its appearance shows about its history
   —What people have thought of it
   —What it would say if it could speak.
3. Take one moment of insight from that process, and work it into two lines: one of 5 syllables and one of 7 syllables.
4. Then take another aspect of your thinking, and add it to the poem as a final line of 5 syllables.

I like the haiku
It's very easy writing
Almost like rhyming

I took a big crap
Literally so damn much
Shit up to my ass

April night breeze
warm wind bring magnolia scent
walk home on dirt road

Pastelli trolling
Claims all new users are socks
Has 4 socks himself

 

[davebb]

Pastelli got caught
With two other sock puppets
That's why he distracts

All but admitted to me

Gives me flurry of thumbs down
Because I caught him

^^^ this guy is a sock for another antisemite.

And guess what? Our new president has a Jewish daughter, SIL, and three grandchildren. ORTHODOX Jews. Eat your heart out, bigot!

Yes he is no.10 of the following:

All 10 accounts by the ARAB -ist, pro jihadists (repeating something about "paid"), created not far from each other. As pairs... reacting with "fake news", to the very same posts...and fast. As they're no newbies..

(Under most of his accounts he replies to theards "words that start with..." in order to 'upgrade' the account/s):

• Dean F (with Hitler...

• Pastelli

Little puppy dog responds to my every cue
Small tail wags so fast,
Eager eyes on every word,
Joy in simple trust.

Dice tumble and roll,
Hope flickers, a fragile flame,
Empty pockets sigh.
