Haiku Collection Blog!


Hey guys! Long time no see! Krel here with my Haiku Collection Blog!

Haikus are Japanese poems with a 5-7-5 pattern. There were many haiku poets in Japan before, and haikus were usually sayings about something. I made haikus while reading the book "Who Moved My Cheese?" to showed what I had learned, in the form of Haw's sayings.




Haiku Collection I-IV

Haiku Collection I

 If you cherish cheese

All the people in the world

Will be made happy.
***

If cheese eats your mind

You will never fly to those

Heights called salvation.
***

The mind is burnt in

Flames of rampaging fury

The heart cannot stop.
***

A courageous man

Leads himself out of the pit

Where extinction lies.
***


Haiku Collection II

Being afraid will

Never help you change into

Someone fresh and new.
***

Move with the change

In your life’s turbulent sea

And learn from mistakes
 ***

In a labyrinth

Move in a new direction

And you will find hope.
***

Create with your mind

And you will find the goal

That will nourish your soul.
***
Haiku Collection III

Let go of old zones

And you will have greater strength

Than ever before.
***

Adapt to the change

And new cheese will be waiting

For you to enjoy.
***

All our past meetings

With the always moving change

Will help us move on.
***

Be aware of change

And you will enjoy life’s gift

For the chosen ones.
***

Haiku Collection IV

Talking with your friends

About the returning change

Will help you fight it.
***

Saigo no Haiku:

When you’re with your friends

Share your bad experiences

And they will help you.
