Seasonal Haiku

 

I would have written

A haiku about Winter -

The Censor prevents.

 

I would have written

About the snow storm we had -

The Censor prevents.

 

I would have written

About the freezing rain, but -

The Censor prevents.

 

I would have written

Bitter cold, fear, danger, pain -

The Censor prevents.

 

Only ugly words

Mostly those with four letters

Do Winter justice.

 

(Insert expletive)

(Profane and obscene remark)

THAT's for the Censor!

 

Lucius Alexander

 

How many ways can

A palindromedary

Fit in a haiku?

Invisible World Haiku Hero

 

Thread drift so extreme!

Invisible faeries to

Foaming soda cans

 

Thread drift so extreme

Might as well go all the way

Make it a haiku

 

Lucius Alexander

 

I'll take these haiku

And palindromedary

To the haiku thread

Casey and Andy

 

These are from the absolutely extraordinary web comic Casey and Andy

 

I'm labelling their dialogue C and A for Casey and Andy

 

C

Hello, welcome to

Casey and Andy's Snooty

Discussion hour.

 

A

Today's subject is

That ancient Japanese art:

Haiku poetry

 

First, five syllables

Then another seven more

Then five at the end

 

C

Andy's smoking crack

There is no such restriction

Haiku is free-form.

 

Though I prefer it

Five-Seven-Five is a myth

Haiku knows no bounds.

 

A

Perhaps there's no rule

But there is a tradition

Of five-seven-five

 

C

Tradition be damned!

You establishment lackey!

You can't censor me!

 

A

Those who came before

Know a lot more than you do

You arrogant prick!

 

 

(In this frame the katanas come out)

 

C

I will stand no more!

Prepare to defend yourself

Vile phillistine!

 

A

You want some of this?

I'll smack the crap out of you!

Bring it on, @sstard!

 

(Last frame, a supporting character holds a sign saying Error Type 3: Dueling and says)

 

Experiencing

Technical difficulties

Sorry. Please stand by.

 

Lucius Alexander

 

The palindromedary wonders if we'll be able to get by the censors ourselves....

Just four days later

Terror and misery struck

Collision of cars.

 

How strange it seems now!

Looking back at last winter

Prophetic Haiku!

 

Lucius Alexander

 

So many ways I

Fit "palindromedary"

Into a haiku.

Re: Haiku Hero

 

The following is NOT mine; I read it at The Sandbox at the Doonesbury comic site. I thought it worth sharing.

HAIKU

Name: Jeff

Posting date: 10/25/06

Stationed in: Baghdad

Hometown: Montana

 

The sun is setting

Leisurely strolling along

To my sweet trailer

 

Barbed wire and dirt

Tanks and armored vehicles

Wear your safety belt

 

Who will be in charge?

Six bosses for each worker

An army of one

 

Pictures of rainbows

Covering the concrete wall

Damn hippie chow hall

 

What's this chow hall food?

Thirty dollars, KBR?

Powdered milk and eggs

 

Feeling faint, dizzy

Luckily the sign tells

Me to drink water

 

I sit on my ass

On this very secure FOB

A bronze star I'll get

Re: Haiku Hero

 

There are seventeen

Syllables, three lines - is there

A twelve step program?

 

Lucius Alexander

 

And a stubborn palindromedary

 

Sorry my Palindomedary friend, but I've never been overly fond of haikus.

 

Want a KoL limerick?

 

"So you meet this gelatinous cube,

and it roars 'I'll absorb you, you rube!'

You: 'We'll see about that!'

as you hammer it flat,

and end up with a puddle of lube."
