Haiku haikus

[Becka]

Ok, we have a dog haiku thread and a cat haiku thread, but I think haikus in general can be funny.




Wal-Mart excusion.
Personal space invaded;
Dog food- isle twelve.



UPS guy's truck-
United Postal Service;
"Dude, we hit a deer!"



I can't think of anymore right now. YOU PEOPLE think of some.

School starts in two days
Summer reading was assigned
Must read "Billy Budd"

haiku [h koo ] (plural haiku) noun
short Japanese poem: a form of Japanese poetry with 17 syllables in three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, often describing nature or a season. Also called hokku
[Late 19th century. From Japanese, shortening of haikai no ku , literally 'not serious verse'.]

Could someone please explain...? What is so special about those? It just sounds weird to me...

It's just a little poem you can write. THINK OF IT! Even YOU can write a poem in some sanctioned form of poetry! No iambic pentameter for YOU, friend!

Something like

"Eric the postman
in shining red uniform
has lost his blue uniform"

...?

Do they have to be funny, make any sense, or what are the conditions?

"Is a good haiku
Supposed to give any sense?
Can they be pointless?"

Making sense is good. Funny is better. Just look at the dog and cat haiku threads for inspiration.

"I'll just have to eat
but when I come back to you
I will try "haiking""

 

[insurgent]

Remember, I'm a beginner:

"Learning to hitchhike
Never smile to the drivers
They often just smile back

Don't hike in the rain
Standing for hours hiking
You'll just get cold baths

Drivers often stop
waiting until you reach him
leaves you on the road

Cops are often bad
arresting you for hitching
destination jail

Hitchhiking is hard
In fact I would say to you
Simply don't do it"

It does have certain humourous points, right?

Yes, you're getting there.

five syllables first
the second line has seven
five again goes here

 

[omichyron]

evil poetry
requiring intellegence
even late at night

 

[starlifter]

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Rhyming sounds like Poetry...
Not Haiku!

That's a great haiku. The more gnomic they are the better. Thay can make you think, or just describe a single idea or thing. Good old Japanese minimalism.

I Say I'm not smart
To make haikus that good
I think i'll give up

 

[Mephisto]

four plus seven,
equals to eleven;
zero minus one,
would be negative one.

(add, sorry, didn't check what insurgent researched)

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
Worst Haiku Ever

 

[Becka]

The night is quite dark
What was that awful racket?
Watch out! Bug attack!

Who started this thread
That would be becka of course
Why did she start it?

 

[Becka]

I would post more haikus, but another forum where I had a lot went down and I forgot to save them in notepad or something.
