Original Haiku
I don't know about you guys, but I dig haiku. I thought I'd post some of my original stuff, and see if anyone else had some to share.
For those that don't already know, a haiku is a form of poetry originating in Japan, consisting of three lines... the first with five syllables, the second with seven, and the third with five again. Those are the only restrictions, you can write about any subject matter imaginable, and no need to rhyme or anything silly like that. Here's some of my stuff: Help, I'm prisoner Frolicking with ribbons and Forced to look gleeful Watch the fat lady Draw circles on the wood floor I want a tattoo Find a flat gray stone And hurl it at a bus stop Hear the old man howl A belch of flame licks The night as high waters suck Life from the people I don't like death rays They make my gums and teeth hurt Weep for me, Earthling Crave the beef jerky Salty, mysterious meats Do not stay your hand The blue sky is scarred By seven ghostly contrails Close the black curtains I have the Tourette's You slimy, worthless crap stacks Damn you all to hell ...OK, I've subjected you to enough for now. Anybody else have some to offer? Oh, and this post (C) 2003, Alan Bellows, All Right Reserved. For internal use only, do not induce vomiting.

The first 3 previously posted on the Cellar...
I wrote this one about myself: I am Sycamore Sent down from the heavens to Stir shit up on Earth This is my ode to Radar: Fucking ballsac bitch Radar, bastard, piece of shit Cuntface, dumbfuck, blecch! Here's another one I wrote about Dave: Mister David Ham Likes computers and pad gai Lives in the suburbs And now...a new one just for pastrami: Mister Pastrami Lives among the weird Mormons And wants a tattoo |

Every once in a while I start composing haiku obsessively. It can really annoy the people around me.
The only one I can remember: Five heads in the room Summer heat stifles action Boredom has arrived. I bewildered four people with that. |

Spun disc slices air
Excited young man rises Frisbee caught in hand Bitman, might it be a good way to write haiku if the first and second lines are descriptive of ideas, and the third line exposes both for metaphors relating to the same thing? |

Okay. the hip hop poets are on hbo and i have been struck with this thought: the black women performing these sonnets use the word "bullshit" and it's musical. amazing. it sounds just like trash talk when i use it...............
Hip hop theater Lyrical vugarity Bullshit as fine art Performance artist Speak slang into Creation god, working in trash

I like to call mine 'Haikish' so I can have all of the fun of writing them and none of the annoyance of debating the rules.
Leaping! Drooling! Dog! mud prints all over the place and yet we love you The alternative version is: leaping, drooling dog mud prints all over the place why are you so dumb Take your pick. I seem to remember Haiku having some qualities like a seasonal tie-in and an evanescent mood, so: snow in the morning the scent of hot coffee -- wake me up inside Which, of course, makes me think of music wicked thieves of song old women and little girls lawsuits in the fall |

In the Wake of Isabel
hurricane-inspired haiku:
The rotting porkchops purified by melting ice at last stinketh not. BTW, power and phones restored, yay! Because a connected HB is a happy HB.
