My windows crashes every now and then
Shall I throw it out of the crashing windows?
Wanted to 'undo' my credit ratings
Couldn't...the 'cache' was already cleared. (cache...cash)
The mouse doesn't have the 'guts' to scroll fast,
Is it because it has only one 'ball?'
Tired of the life, asked the almighty to kill me,
the reply came, 'Bad command or file name.'

DWI,
Don't get mad, but when one hears the word, "Haiku" one thinks of short sentences. Maybe not a rigid 5-7-5 structure but still short and three lines. Was your Haiku on a testosterone trip? :))

That's alright NK, may be you should have been little softer on the criticism.
THERE ACTUALLY ARE F O U R HAIKUS.
Even though the topic is 'Computer', none of the verses are related.
Hope that clearifies.

Did not mean to sound harsh DWI. Forgive me. I was sort of in a a hurry . I read quickly and thought that was one Haiku! Can you believe it? Will be more careful in future.

Very lively jamghat of poetic talents ! Laagchha kabitako mausam chalirahechha Sajha.ma. Bado ramailo lagira' chha.
DWI's verses are actually a ghazal. This ghazal is in a rarely used format reasonably called free-style which does not follow monorhyming and metering that mainstream ghazals are burdened with. I have seen increasing popularity of freestyle ghazal in English. I think there is a good future of freestyle ghazal in all languages. I am glad to see my first one from a Nepali.
From Jayahos' verses, I can make three Haikus. And they are of course not slaps to NK, just a friendly wiNK.
Dirk and Deep- nice conversation in Haiku !
Keep going, dear friends.

Posted
on 14-Aug-02 06:28 PM
Kohunu,
I ain't sure but I think "haikus" is a japanese term. These are poems that don't usually rhyme. They express a feeling of anything that one chooses..weather, nature, love, school, home etc etc...And, generally three lines long.
fluffy white clouds
with lovely shapes in space
fills skies in dreams
***
enchanting beauty of words
provoking eyes of thoughts
wimpering cries of feelings
its literally

Dictionary.com defines Haiku as:
" A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons. "
Haiku, for me, is a form of poetry where each word should be heavily weighed and put, avoiding 'weightless' run-on sentences. Haiku doesn't follow the traditional form or rhythmic verses. It could be as simple as: "The butterfly came to my ear, Does it want to say anything?" But make sure the Haiku does have significant 'weight', which the last one completely lacks.
Haiku expert, Jane Reichold presents an example of how verses in a simple poetry are modified to make Haiku:
"the strange shape of the passion flower and its legend"
which only needs to be rewritten to be:
"strange shape
the passion flower
and its legend."
Haiku, to me again, is like the form of fashion that is going on since the beginning of this decade; the desperate attempt to look "shaggy", rugged and rough, still maintaining the 'charm.'

>>By the way, does anybody think my third haiku (The mouse doesn't ....) was a little >>bit 'adult' rated? If yes, do forgive.
A sage/saint waits for enlightenment. Day and Night he sits in Samadhi and negotiates with nature trying to synchronize the thinking self and the acting self. Mouse, which transpires the commands from a user to the interface, here symbolizes the connector/medium, the commuter that links the inner self to the outer self - exposed to the nature. And the days pass by but the one who is in sought of the truth does not achieve what he is desperately looking for. The medium does not act as fast as the thinking self and the harmony with nature is not established, the optimum is not achieved. The medium misses 'guts' - the essential components. The sage is puzzled. RATH KO EK CHAKKA MATRAI BHAERA TA BHA HOINA? How many years did it take BUDHHA to get enlightened? Had he been with his wife, would he have achieved it faster? 'Ball' here symbolizes the wheel of a chariot!
I do not see anything 'adult rated' in it!
|
| DWI |
Posted
on 14-Aug-02 07:55 PM
The mouse doesn't have the 'guts' to scroll fast,
Is it because it has only one 'ball?'
Jayahos ko Jayahos. Man, I didn't meant it to be that complicated but I applaud your imagination.
The connection was simple, 'guts' to 'balls' as both are in parenthesis. You might have noted somebody saying," You don't have guts to do that", you can interchange these two words accordingly. It was meant to be a little foul, but I hope that doesn't ruin the site and the threads.
Keep posting people, I am enjoying the Haikus. Some are really nice like the ones by

True. I did not write any Haiku. Naam kaati dinus DWIji mero. Anyway, I am enjoying very much reading Haiku from new talents, Jayahos, Dirk, Deep, Oys_chill, Diva_starz and of course our legendary NK.
Although I haven’t dared to write Haiku in English, I have a fond memory of my first attempt of light satirical Haiku in Sajha, which was, to my delight, well received by the very people they were about. They were about some famous personalities of that time- like Naresh Karkiji, NK, Ashu, Hahoo (where is GuruDev ?), Paschim etc. That thread is not in the currently available archive. So, here is a sample for newcomer friends. NK, may reproduce yours ?
Padhchhin Gita, lekhchhin kabita
Gahra gahra, tita tita
Manchhe mitha, naam chahi Namit(h)a

Hunda hunda aba "legendary" pani rey! ok, back to Haiku:
An empty blue chair
In the middle of the kitchen
A stab in the heart.
***
A short life
A long and confusing road
A good deed!
***
Flags fluttering in the wind
Leaves falls in autumn
Winters knocks at the door.
***
Home of brave
Medals on thin chests
a missing leg here and there.

Aru pachi. Nepe, your verse brought back old Sajha memories. It was not so long ago but feels like it. Maybe it is because one internet month is 10 chronological years.

The reason I wanted to select the top 3 haikus, was coz I felt the haikus were just being posted. There were few Haikus so touching, I just couldn't ignore it, or let anybody else ignore it. I just could've mentioned it..but I felt they deserved better.
As I said earlier, NO HAIKUS AFTER AUGUST 20 WILL BE JUDGED! I don't want to stop reading the lovely Haikus.. but all the ones before Aug 20 will be judged... I will come up with the results on Aug 23rd.

Does It Matter?
*this poem was written by an anonymous high school student*
My father asked if i am gay
I asked Does it maater?
He said No not really
I said YES.
He said get out of my life
I guess it mattered.
My boss asked me if I am gay
I asked Does it Matter?
He said not really
I told him YES.
He said You're fired. faggot
I guess it mattered.
My friend asked me if I am gay
I said Does it Matter?
He said not really
I told him yes.
he said Don't call me your friend.
I guess it mattered
My lover asked DO you love me?
I asked Does it matter?
He said Yes.
I told him I love you.
He said Let me hold you in my arms
For the first time in my life something matters.
My God asked me do you love yourself?
I said does it matter?
He said yes.
i said How can i love myself? I am gay
He said that is the way i made you
Nothing again will ever matter.

Param mitraharu, heres one which is wrote two years ago. The piece got mole ! However I have saved it from those dam mole. It almost destroyed my precious piece.
Death is what I see
Shrouded with the web
Of obscure reality and entanged web
Light slowly creeps
once again
see of life emanted
Through the darkness of the web
come light
Enlighten me
I see green valley
I see tender sun
Rising through the valley of life!

I am still afraid of the backlash I might suffer due to Paschim's inevitable counter-attacks and character assasination he will attempt on me given that I now have your support Sob Sob :-( Since I now have the support of his prospective griha- mantri with whom he has indicated to have indulged in romantic relationship he can attempt even physical harm. :S I know only you can save me from him.

Into the world of dissipation,

What is real, and what is not?
The truths be told among us,
What is the false refractions
Of a sick worlds contraptions
The smoke and mirrors are faded,
Our world will soon be hated,
It makes no sense to debate this,
Your mind is stuck in the moment

Every letter in your word "HAJUR" is de-oxidizing(!!) my rusty soul. So, here is something for you;)
I gaze deeply into your heart
Your multihued reflects on my decayed RUST
and glares as a magnificent art.
I perceive the deed of your trust
And believe no one will get hurt.
You make my heart soar
Within you're passionate embrace
In my mind, I have pleaded,
Please don't fall for me
But here in my heart I have fallen for you
Here now, in my heart there is we
Just a poem.....:)

Soliel Ji,
Ahem, it's very easy to twist n turn the interpretation of poems/rhymes/haikus...whatever:p
Oops... it was supposed to be Haikus thread;)
BTW, anybody familar with this poem??
How do I love thee??
--------------------------
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
-- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
I think this is the epitome of the love poem - the heart pours out its emotions
in every word.

Rusty,
How do I love thee??.... Elizabeth Barrett Browning
This poem was recently chosen the greatest love poem of all time in a large
readers' poll - not surprisingly, it has found place in nearly all large
anthologies. It formed part of the Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "Sonnets from
the Portuguese", written in her Italian days at the Casa Guidi. It is addressed
to her husband, who used to call her 'My little Portuguese" as she was dark ( being part Creole).
I think this is the epitome of the love poem - the heart pours out its emotions
in every word. I love the way in which the simple words echo when one reads it
aloud, and lines 9-12 are simply sublime. Also, I feel that the conventional
sonnet form has an intrinsic power that lends itself to intense outbursts of
emotion - for instance, Shakespeare's "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?", Keats' "On first looking into Chapman's Homer" and
Robert Burn's
"A Red, Red Rose"
O my Love's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June:
O my Love's like the melody
That's sweetly played in tune! As fair as art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I:
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry: Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run. And fare thee well, my only Love,
And fare thee well a while!
And I will come again, my Love,
Though' it were ten thousand mile.

I normally don't like romantic/love poetries. But, I have a high regard for this one “How do I love thee?” Talking about great poets/poetries, I really admire Dante Alighieri, who was the greatest Italian poet and one of the most important writers of European literature.
"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in time of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality."

These days, Sitara
is being called didi
to frequently! [:-(
Is it age,
Or her being a sage?
Is it just a phase?
Or a haemorrhage?
What is this craze
of her being assumed of a certain age?
Is it puzzle or a maze
Or the work of some sophist?

If u missed in case
NK is in a knowledge chase
leaving the title of 'Didi'
for Sitara to face
Its not 'coz of her age
Else she'd be in a great rage
She earned the degree by her words
in this, oh beautiful, Sajha Homepage.

The crescent lights
The misty ground.
Buckwheat flowers.

ok i have to introduce you guys to an awesome poet. Jellaludin Rumi. If you ever get a chance to read some of his works its brilliant! i didnt' discover him until i fell asleep in the library adn by chance it was by his stacks. lol. here are a few:
there are more...but just a few.
__________________________________________
i am enslaved to fate
Other than fate say not a thing
Honey is sweet, tastes great
Other than great say not a thing
Of pain speak nothing
If joy not bring, say not a thing
If for you this has no ring
Joyously sing, say not a thing
I had once gone insane
Love whispered when saw my pain,
"I’ve come and will remain
Madness refrain, say not a thing."
I said "O Love, I fear
The things other than Thee here"
Said "though may thus appear
To me is clear, say not a thing
"I’ll whisper in your ear
Secrets to you bring near
Nod your head and hold dear
Silently hear, say not a thing"
"The face I see so well
Angel or man? Pray do tell"
Said "this is other than angel
Nor with man dwell, say not a thing"
"Pray tell, what do I see
Else all my senses will flee"
"From senses remain free
And just be, say not a thing
"You reside in this abode
Where color & falsehood explode;
Rise up, take up the road
Pick up your load, say not a thing
"Other than Shams-e Tabriz
If ever Mevlana please,
Blow away with morning breeze
His Light seize, say not a thing!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soul receives from soul that knowledge, therefore not by book
nor from tongue.
If knowledge of mysteries come after emptiness of mind, that is
illumination of heart.
____________________________________________________
This World Which Is Made of Our Love for Emptiness
Praise to the emptiness that blanks out existence. Existence:
This place made from our love for that emptiness!
Yet somehow comes emptiness,
this existence goes.
Praise to that happening, over and over!
For years I pulled my own existence out of emptiness.
Then one swoop, one swing of the arm,
that work is over.
Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope,
free of mountainous wanting.
The here-and-now mountain is a tiny piece of a piece of straw
blown off into emptiness.
These words I'm saying so much begin to lose meaning:
Existence, emptiness, mountain, straw:
Words and what they try to say swept
out the window, down the slant of the roof.

Crimson-tipped leaflets
Glazed in a feathery frost.
Crystalline sparkles.
Trees shed leaves like tears
silent falling harbingers
autumn's last dance
