[WildeIrish796]

hmmm....i should have noticed this thread yesterday when i was posting away stupid haikus in "it's official".....oh, well, i'll just copy and paste them.

bono is a god
he wears really cool sunglasses
i want to pet him

 

[WildeIrish796]

larry snarls a lot
but he's really kind of cute
he also plays drums

 

[WildeIrish796]

i don't like edge much
but he's a guitarist, so
he's okay, i guess

 

[WildeIrish796]

I love adam 'cos
he is very posh indeed

[Discoteque]

Bathroon misfortune
Thick white lotion on a black shirt
Drycleaner is happy

Timepiece says midnight
The planet is slumbering
I'm not yet willing

---

Weekend ? four days' worth
All of the time in the world
Already half over

---

Little coffin nails
Call to me seductively
I hear hammer pounding

 

[cujo]

where is that cujo
where the blue heck is cujo
contribute haiku

Tassles line his pants
To Compliment the Leather.
Dance for me Eno.

Oh my what is that?
Yes, Power to the Peep Hole.
Better to see with.

That was for mofo. He defined this form of verse as a genre.

My bastardized versions are below par. And this isn't golf.

 

[cujo]

Conglomerate seige
Ronald knows far too much now
Time to cage the beast

 

[theSoulfulMofo]

i am bad poet
and i don't even know it
what is a haiku?

 

[u2popmofo]

Once I dreamt of her
Her kisses tasted like cloth
I kissed my pillow



This is one of many haiku I've contributed to a haiku website. I have so many, many more.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

He plays hockey
He is a hoser
Cujo is from Canada... eh

 

[SkeeK]

alright, i'm gonna be an oddball and post someone else's haiku, as well as divulging the inspiration beforehand. suckers!

so in writer's craft class we were told to wander around outside the school one afternoon in search of inspiration for haiku.. it was the beginning of winter and all cold and dreary and poetic out. The best one I heard was from a kid, i think his name was casey.. funny little bugger.. this is the one he came up with:

This excercise sucks
I think I'll go to the store
Fifty cent gum ... wow!

These were VERY good.

No more fun for me
Back to work in the morning
Summer goes too fast
