Oooh, sounds like a good first line…  
**Blackeyes** takes the cake!  
Slowly unzips his trousers.  
Frosts the cake himself.  
(Sorry, Blackeyes! 😃 )

Blackeyes gives me milk

Actually Haiku structure of haiku relates to the character count of the poem 😕

it’s 5 characters, 7 then 5.

In japanese the characters are made up of vowel pairings…

a i u e o  
ka ki ku ke ko  
ha hi fu he ho  
ta chi tsu te to  
na ni nu ne no  
sa shi su se so  
ma mi mu me mo  
ra ri ru re ro  
ya yu yo  
wa (o)  
and one for n/m

Well hiragana is at least 😕 But anyway, if I recall correctly haiku are counted by the hiragana characters.

IE: Yemi no biki  
koumou no kino  
Aibu yubi

Which translated means (I’m really really hoping this is correct, I think my grammar is and so is my word choice)

Dreams of a beautiful woman  
Red hair of silk  
Caresses fingers.

In all a TOTAL pain in the ass to write.

Not only do you have to know what rules of grammer you can voilate (which I don’t) and know all of the subtleties of the language (which I also don’t) you still end up with something that doesn’t translate well 😕

Actually looking back I think I used some impolite forms of some words and a few colloqualisms (spelling?!?!?!!)

I always did suck at japanese literature.

Was your word choice impolite enough to be called “tasteless?” 🙂

If so, welcome to a disturbing thread.

CRorex’s poem is easily fixed to be suitable for this thread…

Dreams: a beautiful  
girl’s red silk hair, I kiss her  
Deep…damn, it’s my dog.

Hey my loose stools haiku or the eating squirrels one weren’t in poor taste?

Ok lets go with this:

Puss yellow and thick  
From my most beloved member  
Do not squick the corspes  
Large enchanced breastsTribute to modern medicine  
Make my dog sexy
