Some translations, please?

My version of it  
Seems to fit the meter right  
I am a smart-ass

Fetenhöhepunkt  
War der gruppenfick danach  
Jetzt dusche ich mal

(and in English, um, sorta)  
Best part of party  
Was the group sex afterwards  
Now I must shower

Hau! dormi mecum

**lno** , I’m sure your German is better than mine, did I make an error? One must admit, ‘gruppenfick’ is a bit more colorful than ‘group sex’.

Nah, you just had a 6-7-6 meter by my count; I trimmed it to a 5-7-5. And the English translation was constrained out of necessity. 🙂

Most of my German  
Is learned from science journals  
‘Gangbangs’ a rare theme

I know just enough  
To get face-slapped or drink-splashed  
In several tongues

I like a girl  
she only wants to be friends  
yet I want to not

I still do like her  
She told me she liked me  
three years too late

Freshmen year is when…(she liked me that is)  
she never did let me know  
until the night past

I was so upset  
i cried for a few minutes…(several actually)  
and now I am mad

she says she will not  
go out with a friend she wants…(not sure if this will  
but it is not me…(make any sense)

her logic is bad  
it confuses me badly  
want to talk to her

she brings out good  
but also the worst in me  
**I need much advice** \*

my haikus are done  
until I write in journals  
then I will write more

three pages today  
in journals I have written  
and a few haikus

long winded I am  
will let you do other stuff  
my poems are done

- if you want to give me advice, you can email me at [abcdefg200atexcite@yahoo.com](mailto:abcdefg200atexcite@yahoo.com) or on AIM I am CColeman2002

Single Gypsy\_gurl  
left for a bisexual  
by a perfect guy

made me soup when ill  
he promised not to hurt me  
viscious lies he told

But I’m thinking that  
He got the short end of it  
She already cheats!

She hit on his twin  
Brother and his mom’s boyfriend  
Too…What a slut

It’s lonely without…  
So are there any Dopers  
Who can flirt with me?

I’m going clubbing  
I won’t be on tonight so  
I can meet some guys 🙂

Your Haiku tears  
at the strings upon my heart  
soon you will be free

Thread soars high floating  
above the clouds, the sun  
shines upon these posts.  
And for the carnal,  
flesh, teasingly revealed  
then hidden, oh shame.

Tales of broken love  
Sorry I’m not there to help  
You’re in the right place.

Common though it seems  
in trashy romance novels  
broken hearts don’t kill.

Don’t let ex-lovers  
burn away your inner peace  
find that peace and share.

On-line, IRL,  
or any way that you can,  
there will be more friends.

Final words this time  
something to ponder today:  
Vaya con juevos.

It is strange sitting  
In an office board as I am  
thoughts come unbidden.  
Thoughts which strike my skull  
reverberate, bouncing, then  
Haiku they are.  
I am sitting here  
Watching the clock and surfing  
the SDMB.

Touching, amusing  
By turns, the posters on  
This thread just kill me.

To all those who have  
Been hurt, persevere. Your  
good times have yet to come.

===

Bored at work. The hands  
of the clock, mired in the soup  
Of time standing still.

Will this day never  
End? I just wanna go home.  
Five can’t come too soon.

The weekend beckons.  
With promises of fun and  
Girls with big boobies. 😃

These haikus are sad  
Time to write more cheerful stuff  
Hop to it, people!

Well, there goes lunchtime  
And I have to work again  
Back to the salt mine!

Italian’s fine, but  
German sounds like clearing throats.  
It’s just NOT sexy.

How about some French?  
(I knew that class in high school  
would come in handy.)

Les femmes du Straight Dope:  
Je suis excité par eux  
Je les veux moi-même.

Je dirais à eux,  
"Mon aéroglisseur est plein…  
Plein de quoi? Anguilles.
