The Haiku Thread

[Empyre]

Haikus are the topic of this thread.
It's hard to think of one in my head.
Try as I might,
it's out of sight,
so I wrote a limerick, instead.

 

[lana]

So I was playing
Some Killer7.
"You're fucked."

 

[Empyre]

The haikus all stopped
when I wrote my limerick.
Not my fault, I hope.

 

[English Mobster]

How much can I fit
Into a haiku format
Oh no I'm out of

 

[wareya]

this thread is kind of
well, how do I put it right
really really lame

 

[wareya]

I amend that post
there is no such thing as lame
english haikus suck
though.
so how about a ballad then
a little 8-6 here
actually i'm too
relaxed for this

 

[nightwatch]

And he necro-bumped.
The internet creaked and groaned;
Remember O. J.

 

[wareya]

good observation
I can't continuity
journeyman lockpicking

 

[nightwatch]

With stalwart wing and hardy beak
The phoebe-birds begin to fly
Past tree and bush and mountain peak
And let out shrieking, baleful sigh!

This ship has sailed!
The winds have railed!
They plummet from the sky.

 

[nightwatch]

Dumb say the world will end in fire.
Dumb say in ice.
Dumb what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those dumb favor fire.
Dumb if it had to perish twice
I think I dumb enough of hate
To say dumb for destruction ice
Dumb also great
And dumb suffice.

 

[nightwatch]

k that one wasn't mine

Wait if I call it dumb poem then it's a parody right?

 

[Empyre]

That's a nice poem,
but it is not a haiku.
Thank you for playing.

 

[Fish 2.0]

Poems need not be,
and also do not need to
match to a haiku.

 

[Empyre]

It would not matter,
except the name of the thread
is "The Haiku Thread."

 

[Egan]

my mind feels lonely,
as if that's unusual;
or maybe I'm blind.

 

[Berry]

Why am I now here
Why would you necro this thread
This makes no sense. Toast.

 

[Corvatile]

Cats work in office.
Boss puts dead mouse on your desk.
He says you earned it.

You go to meeting after.
Discussing expenses as
Boss pees on table.

New business plan to
locate red laser dot and
finally catch it.

End of the work day.
Tomorrow it will be a
Casual Friday.

Continue to plan
Long-term business strategy:
Beat dog company.

 

[Hyperion]

Another poem
By me to a necro thread
I should not do this
