Lucius Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Re: Haiku Hero Up in the crow's nest The pirate and cabin girl Make out in moonlight. Nik Havert of Pickle Press gave me a comic book and a haiku. I am thinking of going to http://www.picklepress.com and giving him a haiku back, now that I've read the comic. Unexpected gift Because my name is Lucius Reads A What The F___?!?! Lucius Alexander The palindromedary offers the salient facts the the comic book was titled "Lucius Hears a Wha?" and that Lucius Alexander's reaction upon reading it was "What the f___?"

Lucius Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Re: Haiku Hero Someone sent Me this set: cat haiku You never feed me. Perhaps I'll sleep on your face. That will sure show you. You must scratch me there! Yes, above my tail! Behold, elevator butt. The rule for today: Touch my tail, I shred your hand. New rule tomorrow. In deep sleep hear sound cat vomit hairball somewhere will find in morning. Grace personified. I leap into the window. I meant to do that. Blur of motion, then -- silence, me, a paper bag. What is so funny? The mighty hunter Returns with gifts of plump birds -- your foot just squashed one. You're always typing. Well, let's see you ignore my sitting on your hands. My small cardboard box. You cannot see me if I can just hide my head. Terrible battle. I fought for hours. Come and see! What's a 'term paper?' Small brave carnivores Kill pine cones and mosquitoes, Fear vacuum cleaner I want to be close to you. Can I fit my head inside your armpit? Wanna go outside. Oh, poop! Help! I got outside! Let me back inside! Oh no! Big One has been trapped by newspaper! Cat to the rescue! Humans are so strange. Mine lies still in bed, then screams; My claws are not that sharp. To which I add: I like catnip mice I like to bite their heads off They're good for breakfast. Lucius Alexander How often can I Put "Palindromedary" Into a haiku?

teh bunneh Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Re: Haiku Hero I can't take credit For these wonderful haikus. A friend sent me them. Cat Haikus The food in my bowl Is old, and more to the point Contains no tuna. So you want to play. Will I claw at dancing string? Your ankle's closer. There's no dignity In being sick - which is why I don't tell you where. Seeking solitude I am locked in the closet. For once I need you. Tiny can, dumped in Plastic bowl.

Wyrm Ouroboros Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Re: Haiku Hero Haiku is meant to capture a moment; properly written, it evokes the season in which it is written, the Zen-like 'ah!' of understanding gained in that moment, the connection between man and nature, and (often surprising) the 'lack of intentional thought'. The haiku presented by Lucius on the first page evokes many -- most -- of these things; even, somewhat surprisingly, the season. What most Americans practice is called 'senryu', a self-conscious and often humorous 'little cousin' to the more elegant haiku. After twenty years of writing haiku, I think I've managed to actually write two that could be considered such. Doesn't stop me from trying, though.

Lucius Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Re:visiting Ancient Haiku Hero I just stumbled across this....from July 2002! Hope not to offend; Please make these poor offerings Welcome to this list. One of my favorite websites is the discussion board for Hero Games, and recently they were discussing appropriate limitations for priest characters in fantasy campaigns. Black Rose Kodachi suggested a worshipper of a Goddess of Poetry might have a vow to only speak in poetic quatrains, to which I replied By the Gods man, have you just gone insane? Unless you're a genius that's not going to go! Have you ever TRIED speaking poetic quatrain? It takes all day to think how to just say hello! To which Lxndr responded What would the value of "only speaks in haiku" the fish swims freely And Kodachi added -laughs- Thanks Lucius, I needed that. Actually, you've proved that speaking in quatrains is pretty hard, but it could be worse.... ....I could have said "only speaks in sonnets." So I wrote One who speaks haiku Already knows its value. Who else needs to know? Quatrains with rhyme schemes Stumble awkwardly, words forced; Haiku flows freely. To speak in sonnets; Move mount Fuji with a spoon. Helpless, one falls mute. Mind stuck in haiku; One day after writing those I posted some more. All day I haiku. A leaf drifts, graceful, helpless. What have you begun? Distinctive Features: Yes, haiku draws funny looks If people notice. Let them laugh; Lao Tze Was right, what is not laughed at Is not the true Way. Psychological Limit? I find it is a Pleasant Compulsion. Pleasing to the Gods? No miracle but haiku. Miracle enough. One must count points, else Pointless the rules, but know that Points are not the point. Lucius Alexander Well mounted I ride My palindromedary Even through haiku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
