The Haiku Thread

loneliness I find
rustling with the leaves outside
my bedroom window

anticipation;
joy sneaking inside my heart,
love, unlooked for, finds.

rain falling on me,
plants a seed of emptiness;
tears join the flow down.

I’m here in Denver.
Here’s what I am wondering:
Where is all the snow?

I can’t remember
The last time that I had Spam…
Maybe it is pink.

Okay, you know what?
Spam is “flesh” colored, that’s it.
“pink” and “brown” both count.

O.O

happy springtime pigs
coalesce from dewy rays
of dripping sunlight

the great satan warms
a googolplex of croissant
with tartaric flames

Ahhh… a Haiku thread. What a beautiful thing for a pathetic would-be poet like myself. Translation: YAY! Another chance to bastardize a perfectly good art form!!!

I am all alone
I’m smoking a cigarette
And drinking coffee

No one understands
Why I can’t just go to bed
And sleep like my kids

I have no real life
Just a Straight Dope fantasy
And too much spare time

I ate the Devil
I seasoned him quite nicely
With some arsenic

Now I’ll burn in Hell
But I don’t really mind it
At least I’ll be warm

Thank you all for suffering through that. Now I can feel fulfilled in my life and die a happy woman.

I have included a certain amount of filth to please the gentlemen of the press.

Ta-da! Here it is!
My seventeen-hundredthh post!
Hey, Tris! Where’s my prize?

I should be working;
Instead I debate with you
The color of Spam…

My Spam is flesh-pink,
And makes a yummy sandwich;
Please hold the mayo…

Fried Spam, tho’, is brown
And tasty with Kraft singles
On Sunbeam white bread…

<P ALIGN=“CENTER”> My heart is warm now,
At the proof of your return.
I do not count words. </P>

<P ALIGN=“CENTER”> Cheer, when you have joy!
Weep, as you feel your sorrow,
But come back, and share.</P>

Mondays truely suck.
Vacation in but three days.
To much crap to do.

Why must we prepare
For any form of chaos?
We are too ready.

Straight Dope Message Boards,
I missed you so much this week!
Thank the gods you’re back.

I cannot center.

My thoughts can only be left.

My rights are taken.

The tools used to create art,

Are too powerfull for all.

What might be, is gone.

We must all be limited.

Because some are small.

Creation is beyond them.

Destruction takes no great skill.

Be kind, in your strength.
Share the fruits of your learning.
Tend God’s garden, Earth.

Cat Haiku

I love catnip mice
That's why I bite their heads off
They're good for breakfast

I drive way too fast to worry about my cholesterol.
