Haiku Instead?

[The 777 Hoax]

Yum! Dr. Pepper
I want to drink it all day
Then go brush my teeth...

 

[Silver Steak]

Brush your teeth always
If you don't they turn yellow
One day they'll be gone

 

[Bigfoot]

Spicy Mexican
with plenty of cervesas
for dinner tonight

 

[punkbass2000]

Late night still
Humid twilight settles
It pours forth

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I should go to bed
It is really late and I
must get up early.

And yet here I am
posting haikus in this thread
it is addictive.

 

[Silver Steak]

Write haiku like this:
Punctate after every line
It sounds pretty good

 

[Sidhe]

Interesting note
Few poems are authentic
Such is winters curse

Including this one
The form is without season
It's message bereft

 

[Silver Steak]

That is truth you speak
Haiku need contain a clue
About the season...

 

[punkbass2000]

Authentic poems wane?
How is the difference known?
I can't really tell

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

My haikus have not
been about seasons so they
aren't really haikus?

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Communication.
It is what it is, and is
not what it is not.

 

[Silver Steak]

Traditionally
Haikus always have key word
Defining season
This is purely stylicism
Write them as you prefer most

That, for the ignorant fools of you p) was a tanka, or "short song/verse". 5-7-5-7-7

 

[The 777 Hoax]

You can't write tanka!
Tanka is not welcome here!
Um... start a new thread!

 

[King Flevance]

I do not know much
Haiku's getting confusing
Two rules too many

 

[Sidhe]

I dont care for rules
rhyme, reason needs not season
but lamb needs mint sauce

 

[Silver Steak]

That is quite alright
I won't write tankas anymore
Be at ease my friend

 

[Bozo Erectus]

No more tankas. Now
sharpen your pencil and sip
your Sanka, wanka.

 

[The 777 Hoax]

Boogers in my nose
Chickens dancing in my room
I can see your butt.

 

[Birdjaguar]

Cody the Genius
Loses it oh so completely
When the moon is full

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Very often when
I say "Haiku" some one says,
"God bless you, Bozo."
