WHAT'S'AT? A HIGH-COO?

  • A haiku is a Japanese poem of 5, 7, & 5 syllables in 3 lines.
  • Modern American haiku are . . . whatever, but still in 3 lines.
  • high-coo.com
    is the new haiku website of Booker T. Washington Magnet High School's Creative Writing magnet. All copyrights to all poems on this website belong to their individual authors, and none may be reproduced without written consent. Looking for the light
    The endless search for something
    That I can call the truth

    A drifting boat
    In need of a dock's support
    And a place to call home

    The alarm goes off
    Like fire sirens in my dream
    Just another day

    Reflections withstand;
    I'm saving fall, even though
    The layers peel away

    Is there an answer?
    There's no motive for this crime
    Just hope for the best

    Strangest dream last night
    I was hiding from Germans
    Locked in the closet

    Amazing concert
    Alice Cooper a yard away
    From me I'll never forget

    Picadilly time
    Down to where the green grass grows
    And times are easy

    Saturday will be fun
    There's a Pink Floyd laser light show
    And I will be there

    To me, his mind is
    A mystery; when will I
    Ever solve it?

    Floating in the sea
    Just the gentle waves and me
    Dreaming forever

    Always in slow motion
    Drowsiness overcomes me
    Like the walking dead

    Stinging pain flashes
    Throughout my throbbing finger
    I hate paper cuts

    My mind is so blank
    Why should I try to focus?
    It wouldn't make sense

    Poetry, stranger
    Now, do you know poetry?
    I think I might

    Life can be absurd
    Incongruity swallows
    Us all, you know

    Finally together
    We have one another now
    The future has hope

    Life's a lucid dream
    Awareness always creeping
    But it's never seen

    Yellow, orange, red
    The leaves blending together
    Just to fade to brown

    Unbinding secrets
    I do not deserve to know
    I am more curious

    Hear the guitar weep?
    Notice the revolving world
    With George and Ringo

    Being invisible
    Is my most special talent;
    I don't even have to try
