Haikus In the Twilight Hours
Elaine of the Snowy Forest
Greetings to my friends and enemies. I'm Elaine, and I want to read your poetry. I want to encourage self-expression, and I'm willing to give an extremely paltry reward (two gold) to whatever haiku I like the most. Consider the time limit 24 hours... ish. Sometime Saturday morning. But I'll comment on the haiku so you know the prize has been given out. That being said, this isn't a contest per se. The reward is just to make it not feel like a waste of time for you efficiency buffs out there! I just want to read some fresh haikus. Anyway, I'll start us off:
Nearer The Twilight
Amnesty By Snow And Star
Renew All My Dreams
--
I look forward to what you have to share!
Update: A kind, anonymous donor has offered to send me 5000 Q5 food to add to the prize pool. I'll do my best to spread the love among the poets down below! I'll try to give something to every haiku 🙂
Update 2: An additional anonymous patron of the arts has provided me with enough support to make sure every comment gets some food, so don't be shy with those haikus! I'm removing the time limit, so any unique (1 per user) haiku will be seen and rewarded (and if I miss you just send me a message after waiting a day)

Good luck to you here
Franklin is a big dummy
I don't need the gold
Hope you'll take some food instead friend
A wintery night
Sudden sound of broken glass
Heart seized by a chill
Beautiful work George, food on its way
Age ravages great kings
Grand countries decay to dust
Time runs out of time
Love the last line friend! I think the first is one syllable too long, but please enjoy the food coming your way
NEVER FADE FOR ANYONE!

Moist Towettes are wet
Gently rub it on your hands
Cleanliness is Peace
Moist Towettes are quite nice 🙂 Food en route!
winter wonderland
a mom tells her little one
shut the f--king door
I'm not paying to
Heat the whole darn neighborhood
Says the mad father
Food coming your way
sTrolling through nonsense
swopping gifts
as a globe spins
I think you cut your second line in half and lost the third friend, but I like it anyway. Food on the way!

Spam was hungry
For love we gift
Planto is ghei
My wanderlust grows
Home is a prison locked up
Feeling now lost, dread.
Very relatable my friend. I wish us both the best, food is en route
Winter is ending
We are all still here online
Love is in the air
Online until the day I die, I should think. I'll stand vigil for the spring with you, food on the way.

worker bees can leave
even drones can fly away
the queen is their slave
But first you need to convince the workers that flying away is possible 😉
Food on the way
In blazing Battle
Blind men die faith in lies
The grass covers them
~Published by me in High School
No More Lies by Iron Maiden, food on the way
Before or later
every noob
will grow.
Perhaps so, although I think some are cut short before their time. Not a haiku, but I appreciate you posting! Food en route.
I am drunk after work
This is probably not a haiku
Send me the Gold
Also Drunk
I don't know what a haiku is
send me some gold also
Also not a haiku, but... WAIT A MINUTE YOU ALREADY REPLIED. Almost got me there. Enjoy the bacon you already got Andy 😛
It's not a haiku, but I hope you aren't too hungover. Sending you some eggs, bacon, and toast!
Winter, dogs eat more,
poor folk meet less.
Hunger waits for Spring.
Sad but true. Hopefully we can find a way to get some of this Q5 food to people in real life. For now though, some goes to you as thanks for your Haiku!
Look above Star
Shine another behind, further
Blinded few more
I really appreciated this one, food en route.
I saw the word Snow
And I saw the word Forest
Wondered what it is
I am Falling Snow
I, the Venerable Trees
Granting my Bounty
Inconceivably
Shattered Force and Form Churn
Rent My Mind a-New
Inevitable
Your soul's shards, crucible-cast
A New Genesis
A modest reward
That I wish to give to you
Two bright bars of gold
Can love be found now?
I wonder how it can be
Waves overtake me.
Love is eternal
Courage, Endurance you need
to fulfill your dream
these were two of my favorites
Staring into the Nasty Article
An Ox with Glazed Eyes
Farting Steady on the Bench Alone
I was worried about your Ox's health, so I sent you some food to give it a higher fiber diet
That was fun, thanks for posting! 🙂
Hoping vaccines help,
But no innoculation
Exists against hate.
Hoping vaccines help,
But there's something else we need,
Love to beat hatred
Food on the way
Thank you. Your version is more hopeful.
Baaaa o7
No food needed
