haiku II
 
Silly butterfly
Hustles wings to a gallop
Rest yourself awhile

Sun_Sparkz 08-11-2004 06:44 PM

oh cool i remember this!

its two syllables, 5 syllables, 3 syllables right?

Trilby 08-11-2004 07:43 PM

It's five/seven/five----it's easy and fun--try it!
If you're not sure, count the syllables out
Sil-ly But-ter-fly (that's five)--get it?

This is my weblog,
There are millions of others,
But this one is mine

Clodfobble 08-11-2004 10:44 PM

Everquest widows
Have nothing on me. It's called
City of Heroes.

Nothing But Net 08-11-2004 10:51 PM

Trust ye not Evel,
Says he will jump the canyon,
Ends up in the drink

This recap is for <b>Brianna</b>, because she liked it so much:

A celery stalk,
Has negative calories,
You can look it up

Trilby 08-11-2004 11:07 PM

Yay! Thanks NBN--you're a true haiku master! :)

Clodfobble 08-11-2004 11:09 PM

You forgot the last line! ;)

"Yay! Thanks NBN--
You're a true haiku master!
Older men are hot."

Nothing But Net 08-11-2004 11:15 PM

Loving my neighbor,
Has become more of a chore,
Again the dog barks

Nothing But Net 08-11-2004 11:24 PM

My pipe is busted,
It's always the same story,
Dumbass dropped the bong

Nothing But Net 08-11-2004 11:30 PM

I miss fellatio,
Though I did not know her well,
I hope she comes back

Nothing But Net 08-12-2004 12:06 AM

I met some roosters,
All the cocks carried a comb,
Do they use Brylcreem?

Nothing But Net 08-12-2004 12:13 AM

'Hood associates,
Don't dig my hi-growin' weed,
I shot the sheriff

triestemoi 08-12-2004 12:14 AM

Red geraniums
Summer's long, hot days stretch on
till fall's chill arrives

Nothing But Net 08-12-2004 12:34 AM

Wacky Iraqi,
Is that something you can smoke?
Yeah, if I have to

You too, Clodfobble, rock the haiku!
And, older men are hot!
Now, CF, do you speak in Haiku or do you prefer to converse in dirty limerick? You know, the "There once was a lady from France..."-type thing. We could start a dirty limerick thread... :D

Trilby 08-14-2004 10:46 AM

No one likes haiku?
What is wrong with everyone?
Keep the Arts alive!

Nothing But Net 08-14-2004 01:48 PM

It's back to school time,
The streets are quiet again,
Curmudgeons approve

Nothing But Net 08-14-2004 10:32 PM

Edgar Allan Poe,
Never dabbled in haiku,
Wasn't drunk enough

Clodfobble 08-14-2004 10:48 PM

The Olympics rock.
I'VE got some parallel bars
For those male gymnasts.

Nothing But Net 08-14-2004 11:02 PM

Greek gods abundant,
It's not if you win or lose,
It's your muscle tone

Trilby 08-15-2004 12:36 PM

I hate banana's
and BANANAPHONE song, too.
I need some xanax!

Trilby 08-15-2004 12:46 PM

Happens every time-
that drinking makes me thirsty
It's called a hang-over

Chewbaccus 08-16-2004 02:32 PM

I look down the road.
A tumbleweed is coming.
Can I hitch a ride?

triestemoi 08-24-2004 10:19 PM

When life turns to shit
You must learn to sink or swim
Or just flush the loo

Trilby 08-25-2004 11:43 AM

ever notice how
some things keep coming up all
messed up and worry?

alphageek31337 08-26-2004 02:22 PM

best 404 message ever, I wish I could remember where I saw it (it may have been Salon.com's haiku contest)

You step in a stream
But the water has moved on
That page is not here


That being said, I will contribute

Sleeps all day an night
Only wakes to eat and poop
Oh, to be a dog!

Chewbaccus 08-26-2004 02:34 PM

One from the archives:

"Well done, my little
collegiate hamsters.
Get your fresh breath pill."

During freshman orientation, I had to sit through some craptastic lecture on "making the most of college" or "how to make good choices" or something in that vein. Either way, Mentos was one of the sponsors, and the speaker handed out packs of the stuff to people in the crowd who would answer questions/participate in the presentation. I decided to sit back and switch between napping and writing sarcastic haiku.

Now that I look back, it's not so much that I "had" to go, but that it was humid as hell, and it was either sit in my room and dehydrate from sweating or endure the dog-and-pony show for the sake of some air conditioning. I think I made the right call.

Adjust tinfoil hats
Conspiracy theorists!
Radar will soon post!

TOMAHAWK 08-28-2004 02:06 PM

JUST AN ADDITION
 
WHEN IN DANGER! WHEN IN DOUBT!
RUN IN CIRCLES! SCREAM AND SHOUT!!

When the Hindenburg,
Takes an infernal swan dive,
George C. Scott did it

Trilby 09-05-2004 03:46 PM

Nothing But Net has
much to prove to us, his fans:
make bananna bread!

Nothing But Net 09-05-2004 05:05 PM

Doggie doo litters,
All corners of my estate,
Please stay on the path

Nothing But Net 09-05-2004 05:07 PM

A Hindu Haiku,
Ding, Rama Rama Ding Ding,
Doesn't seem to work

Nothing But Net 09-05-2004 05:17 PM

Flush, a unique word,
It's a noun, verb, adjective,
Poker, Face, and Loo

Trilby 09-05-2004 06:18 PM

I love Nothing But
Net and it gets me nowhere;
So help me goddess

Nothing But Net 09-06-2004 02:00 AM

The highway beckons,
I Snap into a Slim Jim,
Nine miles to Memphis

plthijinx 09-06-2004 03:19 PM

oh there's NBN
doing the lynndie again
certifiable.

plthijinx 09-06-2004 03:30 PM

Brianna's the name
loving NBN's the game
match made in heaven

Catwoman 09-07-2004 05:55 AM

I don't see the point
of Haiku's, they're restrictive
and don't make much sense.

Trilby 09-07-2004 10:15 AM

Writing verse in strict
form can be rather lovely--
Learn to love the pain.

:muse:

Catwoman 09-07-2004 10:26 AM

I think they are but
an excuse not to create
a form of one's own.

Trilby 09-07-2004 01:16 PM

Catwoman, why ask
what haiku can do for you-
ask to serve haiku!

*honorable bowing*

Catwoman 09-08-2004 05:09 AM

Good point Brianna
yes I am too self-seeking
and must learn to bow.

Chewbaccus 09-08-2004 08:56 AM

I try to lose weight
Now I am really hungry.
God is a prankster!

Trilby 09-08-2004 09:30 AM

Try the low-carb thing
You won't be hungry at all!
No more sugar-shock.

Catwoman 09-08-2004 09:37 AM

Just so you know, Chew
I am chewing some chocolate.
Why not get a bar?

Chewbaccus 09-08-2004 05:36 PM

Bri:
I have no faith in
Atkins. He died of what? Right,
massive heart failure.


Cat:
I lost my slug for
the vending machine. Seven
-five cents? What bullshit!

jdbutler 09-09-2004 12:47 PM

Out of pocket change-
Totally broke once again-
Guess I'll suck my thumb.

Nothing But Net 09-11-2004 01:24 PM

Nine one one oh one,
Has it really been three years?
Seems like yesterday

Nothing But Net 09-16-2004 09:00 PM

Hurricane Ivan,
Nature's WMD,
Got your water wings?

Nothing But Net 09-18-2004 10:44 PM

supercalifrag-
ilisticexpiali-
docious. Wow, almost

Nothing But Net 09-22-2004 03:58 AM

The first day of Fall,
Or the last day of Summer,
What's the difference?

Catwoman 09-24-2004 04:04 AM

One more beheaded
taken by terrorism
why does it go on?

Ike_is_my_Cat 10-01-2004 12:58 PM

Look at my two nerts--
Just floatin' in my scrotum:
Happy Testicles.

Ike_is_my_Cat 10-01-2004 01:02 PM

Hey baby. Dinner?
Ramen and warm PBR--
(I'll get laid for sure).

lumberjim 10-01-2004 01:05 PM

Ike is so horny
Hey, Joe. me love you long time
preoccupation

Ike_is_my_Cat 10-01-2004 01:06 PM

Drank myself naked
at a company party.
No longer work there.

Ike_is_my_Cat 10-01-2004 01:08 PM

Poetry degree
and I'm writing bad haikus
in a web forum.
