syllables? on my non-native language? lol, I usually don't care about syllable counting on my poems... on any language. But I will try.

Peak Oil is now real.
Shit flying through, target is fan.

Plan for the future?
It seems silly to some folks...
when life is easy.

Famous haiku :)

The old pond
A frog jumps in
The sound of the water

One day there will be so many houses, that people will be bored and will go live in tents. "Why are you living in tents ? Are there not enough homes ?" "Yes there are, but we play this Economy game". Now it's "Crisis" time !Too many houses! Yes, we are insane!

We used to burn trees
Now we burn oil, coal and crops
Soon, burning will end

Back then all looked old.
But what looked old may look new,
when we start to see.

Winter's winds are cold
The leaves on the trees fall down
I'm freezing in bed

No fuel for the stove
The house is as cold as ice
And we're almost dead

Racial gangs maraud
We hide as best as we can
Foundlings' blood is red

Hide, we all must hide
Crammed in tight for warmth inside
Not die - live instead

tending our fields and cattle.

Behold finale
The way is slow and searing
We now play for keeps.
Yes we are, as we are,
And so shall we remain,
Until the end.
