    The not-at-all official Haiku Thread

    Here we go. You know the rules: there are none, except that you must post in Haiku.

    The show so far...

    no proof it ever was
    and the silence of the pidge
    proof that it never will     (ThingsThatExplode)

    the pidge responds but
    mindless pontification
    accomplishes naught     (skypigeon)

    repetetive dreck
    for existence is futile
    (and it never did)     (ThingsThatExplode)

    a catty mispost
    serves only to cast dispersion
    it doesn't, and won't     (ThingsThatExplode)

    again, the point missed
    no one ever has Gray Poupon
    therefore, it does not     (ThingsThatExplode)

    TTE and haiku--
    A noxious clash, oil and water.
    Much wit is lacking.     (skypigeon)

    undeniable
    a fool I admit I am
    but it still doesn't     (ThingsThatExplode)

    All know that it does
    Save for the obstinate one
    Why does he persist?     (skypigeon)

    persistance is valor
    the truth is that is does not
    resistance is futile     (ThingsThatExplode)

    Valor, not futility,
    is the essence of my quest--
    beneath me, your snark     (skypigeon)

    curmudgeon I am
    but is your essence valor
    or merely boogums     (ThingsThatExplode)

    "Boogums?" By golly,
    your mind, it snaps like a twig.
    'Tis bedlam, your head!     (skypigeon)

    Quoth Friedrich Nietzsche
    "From chaos comes order" so
    is anyone sane?     (ThingsThatExplode)

    From froth, revelation--
    Nietzsche 'twas purest scoundrel
    Yet he knew it does     (skypigeon)

    Scoundrel! the cur barks;
    whilst chasing its tail vainly--
    the truth eludes it     (ThingsThatExplode)

    There. I've flushed; you're next...

    The above, not mine,
    But more of TTE's dreck.
    So be it, move on...

    The syllables are all wrong
    Just kidding, it's right

    Haiku, so simple--
    Five, seven, then five again--
    Shall we play soccer?

    Walt Whitman, noble bard,
    He would have despised haiku--
    e.e. cummings, too

    Ah, it may be true
    great minds despair of haiku
    but it can rhyme too...

    ...is it poetry?
    clever syllabic construct,
    or just silliness?

    oh, undoubtedly
    the sword cuts both ways indeed
    this boogie's a mess

    This I must ask you
    For those who post their "Haiku"
    Is this style Senryu?

    My dog barks loudly
    To police neighbors complain
    Anoynmously.

    My hide does this fry.
    Many other dogs reside upstreet.
    Loudly, too, they bark.

    Meanwhile, in the sticks,
    roaming packs of stray canines
    annoy and cavort.

    Lesson? Arm yourself!
    A shotgun and rock salt, Pidge
    will silence the curs.
