The haiku thread

[Qing_Jao]

here's one I read in a parenting mag.

Excuse me loses
its effectiveness when it's
shouted fifteen times.

[eriador]

haha.

Before I share mine, here's a little background:

There's this local radio variety show that is taped at this cool theater in Portland. One thing that they always do is to have the audience write haikus before the show and then they choose their favorite 3 to read on air. The first time I went to the show with my family, it was a week after the 2004 election. My dad wrote this:

Bush re-elected.
Divine retribution for
Complacent lefties?

Needless to say, it was read on-air and got a huge laugh.

None of us has ever had another haiku read.

[Jebus]

Writing a haiku
need not be just one sentence
split into three lines.

[anonshadow]

A single word sounds
I listen, but cannot hear
The singer continues.

[starlooker]

Monotone lecture.
Students hypnotized, sleepy.
Pull fire alarm?

[fawkes]

Hehehehe, that's a good one. I'll have to post one I wrote a few months ago when I get home. I can't remember it right now

[zeroguy]

I stack my oysters
and think of unstacked oysters
for they should be stacked.

[hive_king]

there is a wombat
strategically on my head
what a funny hat

[jotabe]

Breeze of Winter comes.
It's raping my every thought.
How can i be free?

[Dr. Mobius]

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

Got it from a shirt.

[RandomMaker]

Failing to do work,
Tuesday is good for daydreams.
What a disaster.

[ValentineNicole]

Pitter Pitter Pat
The cold rain hits my window
And freezes my room.

[Bevis]

I don't understand
I think the T-shirt is right
Dr. Mobius

[ValentineNicole]

hehehe, Instant Haikus

nameless ignored pure
raspberry frowns cruelly, doll
encircles, mild orange

[AnthonyByakko]

you f****** a******

Now that's what I call a motherf***ing haiku. A+.

[lovesonia]

YAY, Pweb is back!
I am uber ecstatic
Now... back to posting!

[Gravity Defier]

What is wrong with us?
This has so much potential
Why not use the thread?

[Jayelle]

Haikus are easy,
but sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator.

[Mich]

I went to P-Web
In the Spring, while the hail fell
Warm friendship replies.

There. A proper haiku.

[Jayelle]

I posted too fast
Without reading past entries
Feeling kinda dumb.

[Eddie Pinz]

Ass full of pork fat
Jiggles like a jell-o mold
Mouth is flapping too

[Satya]

man is an island
drifting, tossed on seas of life
but still we are one

[Caspian]

There sure isn't much
Space to make a point in these.
Crap! Now less! Now none!

[neo-dragon]

I read each haiku
To find extra syllables
No one fails so far


It takes Alea
To bring back this lovely thread
Be grateful for her


Truly I will do
Anything to avoid work
Even write haiku

[Gravity Defier]

Feeling a little
Like this place has once again
Become comatose


Giving up my nap
(Was going to crawl under-
neath my desk at work)


Instead, I will post
Perhaps, like all of the fun
diseases, it spreads

[jotabe]

Penalty kicks come,
and go, and none gets the goal.
Spain wins in the end.

[neo-dragon]

Future on my mind
Past, a distant memory
Present fills the gap

[Mich]

Holy crap, Qing_Jao
Oh yeah, this thread really rocked
We should post it more

[Gravity Defier]

Uh oh, Neo is
Thinking about the future
Red pill or blue pill?




On that silly note
One: Follow the white rabbit
Two: There is no spoon.

[Jayelle]

Sorry that I've been gone
Dealing with some stuff
Postpartum Life is kinda tough

[neo-dragon]

Talking in Haiku
Great way to communicate
Good to see you, Jan

[Gravity Defier]

Sorry that I've been gone
Dealing with some stuff
Postpartum Life is kinda tough

Were I Mobius
I would want to edit but
Would just brag instead



Or, what Jason said.

Good to see you, Jan

Vegetarian.
English veggie burgers suck.
To the GBK!

[Rei]

Morae are odd
in English, but not
in Japanese.
