here's my little haiku:


misfits gathering

crossing swords with each other

sundangs everywhere

A lonely Bowie
In the company of Krises...
Former enemies fraternizing.....

or

Enough swords
To re-arm the Vizayas...
But, it's Miller time!

Any more contributions?

Misfits?!?!?!

Hahaha....those "misfits" are all members of this forum!

I'll admit that I'm one of those "misfits."


BTW...all those sundang pictured were used for cutting tests....no wall hangers here. But that's just a small sample compared to the rest we left at home.

killing cutlery
wielded with wanton wisdom
blinds the risen sun

Live by the sword,
Die by the sword.

Default Of Water and Steel

I too was there… and I am in the picture.

It is amazing to see what steel and water can do when combined… I thought I would add a photo of a “cut” that I did to a 2 liter filled with water. To me, it seems that I released an “Eagle” that is scooping up a half bottle (or, a fish from the water – use your imagination).

Great steel blade swooshing,
Blurring then seeking its goal,
From Water (to) eagle.

wow! pretty good haiku writers we got!

ok, i'm one of the misfits as well. farthest right...

amazing that some of the sundangs were still able to cut those water filled bottle like a hot knife thru a butter even though these were a hundred years old! really amazes me how it kept its edge.


btw, it was great meeting those forum members in person.

OK, some nice poetry.....but just just to be a stickler, haiku has a very regimented structure which some of you guys are slacking on.
Should be 3 lines, 17 syllables, 5-7-5.
OK....get writing!

Twenty five barongs
And a whole pile of krises....
Give me a Shashka!

An eagle is soaring
Over the Appallachians.
But the fish is safe...

lusting sanguinary drops
