Glass Haiku!

Write us a glass themed haiku to enter!

This glass game goes through 1/2/16!! We are giving extra time to enter this year because of the holidays. You can enter this game as many times as you like, but please only one entry per post! We need the entries in their own posts so we can link to them and easily vote for the winner. Entries from previous years cannot be entered! Keep it fresh. ;)

Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world. Here is a syllable counter (http://www.poetrysoup.com/haiku_syllable_counter/) you can use to check your entry.

For example, last year's first place winner for this game was Dan Kooper with the following entry. :D


Borosilicate
Autodidacticism
knowledge is power


The first place winner this year will be able to chose a pound of green glow frit from boroglow.com, or a killer moon ornament from Labrie Glass. Thank you for the wonderful donations, guys! :blowkiss:

First we have 1 pound of green glow frit made and donated by Bohica! (http://www.talkglass.com/forum/member.php?16643-bohica) Check out his site at http://boroglow.com. This is the original glow glass! :D

Thanks a ton, Bohica! :blowkiss:

Or we have a moon ornament with a killer sculpted face made and donated by labrie (http://www.talkglass.com/forum/member.php?5875-labrie). This is quite large, about 5-6 inches, and hangs. I tried my best, but the pictures do not do it justice!

Entries from the live party :bouncy:



lonely Haiku action (wheres everybody at?)

oh molten glass ball
its time to transform yourself
magnificently


Glass is so awesome
Love silicon dioxide
Flowing in my hands
:bouncy:


The sweat on my hands
The pontil begins to slip
pop, it is over


This piece is rubbish

into the water it goes

snap crackle and pop


Place it in the flame
Spin, slowly-now, careful...wait
Get it in the box


Haven't done this since highschool :P

Oxygen Flowing
Glass Rotating and Melting
What Will I create


My favorite page
On my desktop every day
Distinguished in blue


hubby loves star wars
i would rather blow glass things
sigh off to theater


I'm just so in love
"Awe, that's so sweet of you, babe"
...I meant with my torch

True story.. Oops =P. Happy Birthday!


intense heat of fun
creating sweet hardened dreams
ouch burnt my fingers


it's almost finished
just one more marble to add
tink. oh fuck my balls!


Burns cuts blisters flame
soft touch heat energy
struggle worth the pain


Amber purple rod
Make those pretty colors please
Money making time!

Ignited blue flame
Dancing in thermal beauty
Take me far away

glass rough and sharp, formed with fire

Glass flows like magma
Like honey over my hand
FUCK I burned myself

Everything's great
Nothing can go wrong today
From the kiln, a TINK

They tell me, Grow Up
This glass shit is just a phase
10 years later, whose happy?

Last move of the day
Reach for the blow tube handle
HOLY SHIT that's hot!

Look I can jump rope
Pulling tube like Cameron
Oh dear god it burns!
