As your local representative of reason and calm, I shall now bring you the world famous works of Doctor Toast .

A slice of calmness
In mankind's world of bloodshed
Spread some marmalade

Angry toastless man
Malfunctioning appliance
Senseless killing spree

Whole-grain metaphor
Anguish soon will dissipate
A bread transfigured

Intensely focused
I anticipate my toast
Somewhere a dog barks

Proudly I preside
Nineteen toasters hum in sync
A kitchen aflame

Scrape into the sink
Constellation of black stars
A toast neglected

(Keep in mind that I'm using the American pronunciation of "jaguar," which is "ja-gwar."

Jaguar? Reason? Calm?
What a bunch of damned nonsense!
What a fucking scam!

Nothing like it in the world
I love eating foot

all three horses stand
against the three rails of white
no shelter from wind


orange and blue sky
seen from the back of a truck
work is almost done


door in a stairwell
in grey paint on old window
the word "reflections"

in my mind i see
a picture folded over
is it me or her?


chinese poet comes
quoting work of Mao Zedong
it ryhmes in english


our poems don't ryhme
if we translate to chinese
will it ryhme to them?

If we could shuffle the order a bit, and if I'm counting right, we could quote the Joker:
Quote:

A little song,
A little dance,
Batman's head on a lance.
If not, ah whavever. I could never do these things right.

Quzah.

Thus says robert frost
poetry, translated, gets lost
rhymed versions do cost

Thus laughs lumberjim
translators out on a limb
laugh at me, not him

staceyv 03-14-2004 01:43 PM

are we done with this?
it is driving me crazy
i was close before

now i am closer
to hell in a handbasket
and i am afraid

hot_pastrami 03-14-2004 02:51 PM

Technically, a haiku's lines should all be stand-alone... a phrase should not span lines. I don't always follow the rules myself, however.

Improperly formatted Haiku. I'm such a rebel (*cough*)
