 Game: Haiku
When: NOW until 6:00 pm PST August 12th
Essence: Pine
Oil: Rain
Everyone knows what the rich smell of pine is like, as well as
the musky but thick scent of rain. Together, the scents are
quite strong! I want you to write a haiku about how the scents
- individual or together - make you react. You can write about
their smell, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel, a
fond memory, a silly diddy -- it's up to you. You can enter up to
three times, separate or all in one go. Quality over quantity!
If you need help, reference this web site. Incorrect haiku's
will not be considered. If you need more help, just ask!

Heavy laden breath
Refreshing smell of spring time
My heart sings for joy
Spring whispers of rain
Needles swaying in the wind
Makes me want to sleep
Calm comes after storms
Leaves sway with the added weight
Dew drops make me smile

Trees sway in a storm
Sharp and fresh, the scent of pine
I dance in the rain

Through the thawing earth
spring rain brings forth new pine sprouts--
a phantom scent.
If you could love me
in this autumn weather, meet
in the sweet pine grove.
Pine dampened by rain--
your old shirt under my head,
I dream of goodbyes.

Sharp, fresh and musky
A Spring mist blankets my heart
Nature is at ease

I sit on the slope,
Surrounded by ancient pines,
Mind swept blank by rain.

Torrential rains come,
bagworms take refuge in pine.
I feel safe inside.

The scent of wet earth
Suddenly, sent back in time
Memory from rain

Crisp Oregon rain
Valley life gives us our strength
New evergreen trails
Water pours from clouds
Girls giggle into the night
They drown out the storm
The shoot breaks the earth
I wait for the ascension
a taste of fresh mint

Needles crunch below
Mist curls around the mountains
A hiker's respite

Needles form a tomb
False tears fall on frozen cheek
Dead. Such a pity

Rain washes away
The fallen pine's sweet smell
Drenching the soft grass

Unlocked by the scent,
Visions of lost woods in dew,
Quell chaos within.
Tranquil yet my heart,
Earth and sky clash to ignite,
Songs of olden days.
Emerald needles,
The sweet aroma of rain,
Tickle the senses.

Wind scattered needles,
Sticky, blanketing the ground,
Do not roll in it.
A deluge soaking,
Terrifying beautiful,
Wash the world away.
Trees sway, rainclouds loom,
Beginnings of a battle,
All bow to the storm.
