Apathetic Sounds

She does not see me:
A parrot just repeating,
Apathetic sounds.

I was intrigued by this entry to write a haiku. This is my first true attempt.

Edit: I originally had "sounds" as "friend" but I think it works better this way.

  1. haha, you changed the name.
    I'm impressed when people can actually stick to the "5-7-5" and the poem still sounds good. Ever since I learned that 5-7-5 isn't imperative for a haiku, I've just varied the syllable amount. Might as well focus on the images.

    You capture instant messaging, well. Haikus are an antidote for the ills of modern life. -_-

  2. Ok, imagery first. I have had this idea of me as a parrot for a while and found that it quickly fit to the haiku scheme. Thanks for the comment!

    Also, your haiku about Obama really makes me smile.
