my brother and i have been exchanging haiku this week. here are some of them, in chronological order.
key: him me
Luke asks me about
the haiku, have I written?
No, not until now.
a haiku a day
will keep the doctor away
that is what they say
Who are they that say
A haiku keeps the doctor
away? Are they nuts?
verily, they are.
nuttier than a fruit cake
or a snickers bar.
Oh! Snickers, how sweet!
That is my favorite bar!
Tasty nuts and stuff!
do not let the thread
of emailing haiku
evaporate now
internet! puppets!
a show scripted in haiku
is just what we need
Truly it is good
The world would be better eh?
With puppet poems?
verily, truly
and even absolutely
you do speak the truth
sometimes, do you feel
like a nut, and other times
you dont. whats the deal?
And what's the deal with
airline peanuts? 3 nuts are
a snack? No way d00d.
grape nuts: but no grapes!
and also, no nuts either.
what is the deal, huh?
fake seinfeld haiku
might just be the pinnacle
of the haiku art
Some of these are good
For a puppet show, you think?
Puppet haiku show!
puppet haiku show
show of puppets and haiku
haiku puppet show!
The end of the day
It comes, but always too late
I'll see ya later
Man, the morning sux
I wish I was still asleep
back home in my bed.
spiderman boxers
are what i'm wearing today
Marvel girds my loins!
but yes, it is sleep
that i would rather do now
than sit at this desk
(a non-poetic argument about Chinese food reverted to Haiku)
crab rangoon
oral torture, not
for eating.
oh, the crab rangoon!
why do you taste so nasty?
depart from my plate!
Don't make me break into long winded prose!
i dare you
prose away, prose on
chicken face.
Oh Rangoon, oh crabbiest of Rangoon. Glow like the moon!
Oh creamiest of the dinner pastries, none accompany duck sauce so well!
Miracle of orient, treasure of the American frontier, truly a blessing of the dinner time.
Great is the taste of the Rangoon, it cannot be summed up in a simple haiku!
Greater than entrées that are much bigger than you!
my egg roll
simple elegance
from the east
Ah egg roll wrappers
Ruby food makes their rangoons
With egg roll wrappers
tis not the wrapper
to which my pallet objects
but the soft innards
