Subject: Haiku
You've probably heard of the form: a Japanese poem, seventeen syllables precisely broken into three lines of five, seven and five syllables. Here's one I have to offer:
I must take a walk
Using Windows 2000
Reboot takes so long
Anybody else into haiku-writing?
Phil
PS And I've just noticed that:
Amiright.com
Is making fun of music
One song at a time
...is a perfect haiku - was this intentional, Chucky?
Subject: Re: Haiku
Discussion boards down,
Blasted hacker idiot.
Adelie, I am.
Attack of the Clones
Lucas tries to fix series.
Here's hoping it works.
Darla, what's that smell?
Computer crashed, smoke lingers.
Damn melted harddrives!
Just a bit from me
To start this weekend off right
Yours truly, Kryllith
Subject: Re: Haiku
Excellent haiku
Kryllith, those were brilliant
But I'm not surprised
Subject: Re: Haiku
I am not either
But since I don't have much skill
I will not try one

Subject: Re: Haiku
Don't wimp out Bobo
Just try to count syllables
And think of something
Subject: Re: Haiku
So what do I do?
Shall I try another one?
Not today, anyway.
Just wait a second
I seem to have gone wrong, since
I said I wouldn't
Writing these is fun
But I think I shall stop now...
Medical advice...
Subject: Re: Haiku
I wrote bad haiku
In high school, many years past.
Some things do not change.

Happy birthday bro!
Sorry - I seemed to forget
But now it's Saturday
My brother's birthday
yesterday! We had a great
Time at Macdonalds.

McD's across the pond?

Don't cry Dear Zella

It's not a big deal. ;)
Subject: Re: Haiku
I think so although
I cannot remember if
This one does or not.
(In other words, it's way too big for me to check every single corner. What our T-McD's - Simpson's pun, if anyone saw it last night - does have, which is a slight diversion, is one of those childrens spaces where Nicola, even after ten years of doing it, still manages to hold a birthday party every single day for whoever requests it, along with classic McD's two-coursers and cake.) I remember the one I had for my seventh. That was a long time ago. She was about 14 at the time, if I remember.
To close, another haiku.
Hello Nicola
You're not reading this, are you?
Strangely, nor am I.

Back to the haikus anyone?
Subject: Re: Haiku

On this Saturday morning
My headache gets worse
I crave McDonald's
Because of these writings here
Bad bad idea
I'm getting too old
To stay out the night drinking

Had total shrinkage. ;)

Zounds!! I hope the Haiku gods didn't notice... I've fixed it, so maybe I'll be okay.
And more than one "grows" would be hyperbolic. Growth rate is in direct relation to the skill of the player. ;)
Subject: Re: Haiku
Come to think of it
Lester, why are all your clothes
Still on your body?
With TVamp in jail
You seem the next logical
Substitute for him.
Gals, what do you think?
Should Lester be inlisted
Or get to stay clad?

Running down the street
Not a stitch of clothing on
Someone should have bail
Now I sit in jail
My bare rear is cold in here
Stares give me shrinkage
Where is my Master?
She should save me from this place
Was I on the news?

Boredom, depression
I sit here, alone at work
Another Monday.
The clock moves slowly,
Minutes pass through molasses.
I wish to go home.
Muscles ache madly,
I should have stayed in my bed.
Sleep tries to consume.
I wish to escape
mundainian existence.
Hope springs external.
Sadly, my break ends.
Work demands my soul once more,
Until lunch arrives...

Subject: Re: Haiku
Eternal Mondays
Never seem to end, until
IT'S TIME TO GO HOME
Home is beckoning
Its pull draws me onward, but
I can't find my keys
I search fruitlessly
Till finally I find them
Under the keyboard

Hours pass, lunchtime.
No time for a fast-food run.
Ramen, once again.
A cup of ramen,
Content: Styrofoam and salt...
Nectar of the gods
A long, wet noodle
Nestled between my chopsticks
Drips languorously.
Sodium blandness,
Fails to staunch my appetite.
I want some sushi.

TV9 in jail?
Oh dear, he should be careful
Running 'round naked
I shall go make bail
And tighten that slave's collar
Keep your clothes on, boy! >:( ;) ;D

Could it be Wicked Lester
Knocking at my door...? ;)

Making me hungry
Too bad I am out of cash
Sushi sounds good now
But I will not starve
I brought a sandwich from home
And some other snacks
These all make me laugh
Wish I could write good haiku
I suck at poems
