Haiku time! →[More:]Life's simplest joy is
crunch-crunching through fallen leaves
in early autumn.

I hate the haiku.
I do wish it would implode,
in a ball of hate.

posted by joelf 12 October | 00:48

Primitive desire
enraged and fulfilled by the
setting of the sun

yay haiku..would love a sestina thread :)

Damned syllables, argh.

Sorry, wendell. Oh, the symmetry! *swoons*

Oh how I wish that
I was not quite so shitty
at writing a haiku.

But I am shitty
at the writing of haiku
and so I am sad.

Perhaps some fine day
I will try at this again
and it will not suck.

But that won't happen
I will always be shitty
at writing haiku.

I don't even know
if it is permitted to
write haiku this way.

But as you see I
could not stop and quit writing
another haiku.

Please stop me before
I write even more haiku
it is so painful.

Is it too late to
to put that in MetaChat book
it is my best work.

posted by puddinghead 12 October | 02:06

Perhaps I will just
speak in haiku forever
driving us all nuts.

posted by puddinghead 12 October | 02:08

Please have someone come
and take me to a place where
there is no haiku.

posted by puddinghead 12 October | 02:11

those fools who insist
one sign inaccurate forms
deserve wrath thus born

hey baby baby
come on and play outside now
mommy needs some space

deep breaths everyone
this too and that will pass (out)
new poetic form?

And yet here we can
Mock you for misspelling "known"
But bunnies are soft

posted by loquacious 12 October | 03:37

for real

branches in moonlight
cold beauty between the lines
midnight's scribe pauses.

and... for LarryC

This word in my hand
palm up, reaching, an offer
so, suck it, haters.

posted by taz 12 October | 03:55

i found the effort
admirable in intent
and still do, larry

posted by ethylene 12 October | 03:58

A silent garden,
but for the quiet snap of
the butterfly trap.

i have a cat
she has fur
will this do?

posted by dodgygeezer 12 October | 09:29

If the cat will do,
then the verse has lost a step;
that's okay by me.

One of the best ones
It always makes me giggle.
and now I shall quote:

"You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail! Behold,
elevator butt."

Genius!

Haiku? Nature, yo.
Call me a prescriptivist.
This is senryu.

And bitches. Lots of bitches.
