Haiku Instead?

[kulade]

If I told my friends,
That I write Haikus for fun,
They'd think I were gay...

 

[sourboy]

Now this is silly,
We're just padding our post counts!
Banned in three... two... one...

Why is the title
of this thread "Haikus Instead"
What is "instead" for?

Now this is silly,
We're just padding our post counts!
Banned in three... two... one...

I'd hate to be banned,
But a mod can't stop my art!
Haikus are magic!

 

[Fëanor]

Daggers in the night
The Tyrant's throat they slice
Long live Democracy

You should have moved one
word from the last line up one.
It would then make sense.

 

[kulade]

Not to make more sense,
To match the Haiku guidelines.
Sorry, we're anal.

 

[Fëanor]

Madness makes free
said the naked madman in the tree
he was institutionalized

ooc: maybe i should read how these dammed things are supposed to be written

 

[Love]

Who gives a blue crap
About treads on this OT tread level?
None do it, ofcourse.

The syllables are:
five on the first, then seven,
and five at the last.

 

[Fëanor]

ooc: is this better?

My Anus Itches
From Hemorrhoids and Stitches.
Sweet zombie Jesus

 

[kulade]

Ah! Good improvement!
Now all you have to do is...
Try to make some sense!

 

[ggganz]

No, he shouldn't do
that, cuz sense is teh sux here
This thread's for dumb stuff!

 

[Fëanor]

Ive often heard
that practice makes perfection.
I will practice much

The prince of Denmark
Had a 'be' in his sonnet
And its sting was death.

Better to have loved?
Seems to always lead to 'lost'...
Wish I had never.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Better to have loved?
Seems to always lead to 'lost'...
Wish I had never.

In time, all is lost
When time itself is gone, its
better to have had

Instead of things like this:

Counting the Days

Like steps, the days are a measured pace
Until with love I'm face to face
"Fast forward now" can't be found;
Anticipation most profound
Fills the hours of every day,
As I search for words to say
When that glimpse of love comes my way.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Woops, that was supposed to be a pm

 

[sourboy]

In time, all is lost
When time itself is gone, its
better to have had

Ahh... words of wisdom.
To seek joy in the moment?
Memories always!
