Haiku - for no reason at all

this came up because a guy I work with asked me about Haiku and stuff. this led to an amusing round of blue-collar types trying to write their own screwed up, unpretentious, coarse and basic Haiku. one of the examples that made me spew coffee out my nose was;

Hey, Motherfucker
Give me back my shit, or else
You will fucking die

the basics of Haiku are syllable based - the pattern is a simple 5-7-5 structure.

so I thought about the kinds of things we could apply to Haiku and was immediately glutted by possibilities.

so I thought, why the hell not make a thread for members to post their own Haiku about anything and everything?

so I'll lead off with;

AO is the shit
We can argue about it
But nothing changes

this thread might just die an early death from lack of interest but what the fuck ... it's better than TV ...

Metal Militia
Boss of our little confab
Be nice to him, eh

OMFG... Haiku, YES!!

Let's see, where to begin...

My Life:

Brand new white carpet
Graced by a piece of pizza
Stain one, Proffett none

A chill in the air
my blankets pulled up so tight
'til the husband moves

The house is quiet
except for the fucking cats
stampeding around

It wasn’t so bad
Id just prefer some warning
I need a towel now.


Parenting:

Mysterious sounds,
an overflowing toilet,
dinos down the drain

Sick kids are the worst.
Oh god, she puked in my mouth!!
My scream made her laugh.

very much in the tradition of some old Japanese Haiku master - reversal and illumination of the mistaken assumption we hold.


eating dinner tonight I was hit by a weird advertising inspiration;

Welcome To AO
It might seem like a bitchfest
But it's really fun

and ...

Kill me now and fast
There's a new season coming
Goddamn One Tree Hill

edit - oops, forgot one

Manic Depression
A cheap rollercoaster ride
No line ups to boot

Haiku for bellydance:

Practice makes perfect
Pop and lock shimmy and shake
My poor muscles ache

Snake arms, pelvic tilts
Balkan Beats move my body
In perfect rhythm

Slow and snake-like moves
My Earthy movements of dance
mimicking nature


And let's not forget posture (it gets beaten into my head so much I made a haiku about it)...


Feet hip width apart
knees soft, pelvis tucked and chest out
Shoulders back, head high

Truth tables are fun
But Calculus is a bitch
Why does Calc come first?





(For those who didn't know, you learn calculus and trig before you are ever taught about logical relationships where truth tables are used. This makes no sense to me. I would expect the very FUNDAMENTALS of math to be taught first. Maybe I'm in for a big surprise in the next few weeks of this "Introduction to Higher Mathematics" course I'm taking... so far it seems like it should have been taught before even algebra, or at least right after. )

It began with words
Then it moved to screaming
Ahhhh, Heavy Metal


I feel like chicken
But there's stew on the stovetop
I must choose wisely


Olympics suck balls
A waste of time and money
Please fail completely


Can we not get on?
Opinions are just stray thoughts
Let's all get a drink.
