Create an absurd Haiku!

C’mon, yunno ya wanna! Just write anything you want, as long as it follows the basic haiku format. Which is, if I’m not mistaken, a three lined poem broken up into a 5-7-5 syllable format. And, if I am wrong, then CRUD.

Examples:

The moose has two balls,
Not that it matters at all,
For he cannot lick!
Don’t fret little blonde,
A trophy wife you’ll soon make,
Wow, thank you, you say?
(These were submitted and allowed as suitable examples of poetry in my English class. Go figure.) :smiley:

Who is this Shakespeare?

sorry…hit “enter” too soon, and it wouldn’t let me edit.
Here’s what I was trying to do…

Who is this Shakespeare?
Some say the Earl of Essex
Others, F. Bacon.

The Earl of Sandwich
This led to the B.L.T.
Which contains Bacon

Absurd enough, Havik?
“Much ado about nothing.”
About sums this up. :smiley: :smiley:

My buttocks has an itch
scratch, scratch oooh, yeah.
Hey buddy, take a whiff.

Haikus are easy
but sometimes they don’t make sense
refrigerator

It was shy yet bold.
John saw it and it saw John.
Bold yet shy, was it?

Lather, rinse, repeat.
This is the tao of shampoo.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

Ignorance is fought
Since before the internets
Cecil Adams rocks

The Larry King Haiku

In Iraq they die
by thousands in unjust war,
show Anna Nicole
Doper Pedant Haiku

Pedants of the Dope
will know before the conclusion
verse two is not right.
The Pit Haiku
Head is in your ass
where a ladle is its friend.
Fuck child molesters!

I stare at morning’s
White peaks, such mountained distance.
My cappuccino.

House is on fire now
Should I grab cash, checks or porn
I chose all the beer

Just a friendly reminder that true haiku are not simply poems with three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables. See the Wikipedia article on haiku.

Outside the bright sun
Shines on golfers having fun.
Damn calculus test!

Farm exhibition
amazes the crowd. Metals
on a halftrack plow.
sorry

Window stitch queen fish
Paramedic eddy bank
Chocolate lobby.

“Ook ook!” Banana
Librarian’s favorite
Unseen peel: oh-oh!

Homeless man naked,
I found him in my shower,
using my loofah.

Five syllables here
Seven more go on this line
Five more again here

Ah, an ounce of allusion is worth a pound of detail.

Five hundred titles
Why no On the Waterfront
When I have Joe Dirt

It is one thirty
Pelican Brief kind of sucks
I will watch it all

Natalie Portman
Must leave me the hell alone
Too needy; blisters.
