Do you do Haiku?

[jeff black]

A penis is great
You can stroke mine if you want
I won't fight at all.

 

[SilverSoldier]

I've written several but I forgot them.

I've since turned to mindless limericks, such as:

The Bird Lady's fond of all pigeons.
So much, that she'd start a religion.
She called, "Kitty-coo" from under the poo
Which weighed much on her final decision.



And so forth, etc., etc.

So you can see my tastes have "migrated" a bit from earlier years.

Checkmate

Naked girls play chess.
Because Monopoly sucks
And they don't, boo hoo...


My Family

No choice in choosing.
Never what it seems to be.
I want a divorce!!!!


Jesus Christ

If you came back now,
Would they recognize you?
What're your credentials?


Independence

Free from religion.
Lives of my own are chosen.
A work-in-progress.

Reminiscent of one of Bobby Shaftoe's haikus in "Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson. He's a US marine and the story begins with him amusing himself with haikus as they pull out of Shanghai.

"This is my rifle
There are many like it but
this rifle is mine"

 

[Ethyl]

Don't imitate me;
it's as boring
as the two halves of a melon.


Even with insects
some sing
and some can't


Ducks bobbing on the water
are they also, tonight
hoping to get lucky?

Well, if that was a compliment...thanks:biggrin1:

I recognised your Haiku from readings in highschool, as well as the more recent Jarhead(2005)

I was watching my cat, Craig, perched on the back of the sofa, gazing out the window and making squeeky noises at the birds in the front yard.

So I came up with this one:

Majestic tom cat
Skulks in high grass silently
Red bird in peril

 

[B_Hickboy]

My favorite cat haiku:

[Lordpendragon]

Would that be a Rhode Island Red?
Hens are peckers, aren't they?
Noone here but us chickens.

 

[Fireballs]

Mercurial Bliss,
You beckoned me to this thread.
Sorry I'm so late.

I come with classics.
Three poems in haiku form,
devoted to cats.

The mighty hunter
returns with gift: a dead bird.
It's on your pillow.

Terrible battle.
Fought for hours. Come and see!
...what is "term paper?"

You must scratch me THERE!
There. Right there, oh... YES! Behold!
Elevator butt.

 

[Ethyl]

The moon tonight--
I even miss
her grumbling.

 

[Fireballs]

The moon caresses,
and the air moves lovingly.
But the sun burns harsh.

 

[Ethyl]

Hidden in the leaves
even scraps of paper
have the faces of peonies.

 

[Fireballs]

My computer screen:
softly glowing, dusk to dawn.
A great big nite-lite.

 

[SpeedoGuy]

LPSG waits
for my witty haiku but
is disappointed.

 

[blackbirdsandfloorboards]

champ with gleeming teeth
concrete soaks up winning sweat
camera flash crunch

(dedicated to my friend Tammy, who reads no Haiku)

 

[blackbirdsandfloorboards]

October exhale
teeth pumkin straight white kiss clean
heart inside candle

(dedicated to my friend Frank, who reads no Haiku)

 

[Chrysalis]

Why am I turned on
By my own gallery pics?
Heaven only knows.

 

[ArtfulDominant]

Crafting haiku is
poles apart from limericks
twisted souls like both

My ego is stroked
again and again by the
words God I'm soooo full

Writing drivel and
thinking it's art isn't smart.
Won't quit my day job!

Chrysallis has raised
the intercourse level here
with her honest words

 

[majormadness]

We just did a Haiku in school for our chapter on Zen Buddhism in World Religions. Here's mine:

Tree
Silently it stands
Opposing the flow of time
Nature's oldest son

Wicked, no?
