M R in office cube.
Quick! The boss will be here soon.
Minimize Explorer.

Does that work?

Does it work for you? Then it works! But if you're asking for haiku advice, don't. I'm merciless.

i think my favorite one from that page is :

You jumped on my back
After smelling chips in my bag
I screamed like a girl

Can you see the haiku hidden in that?

P.S. Zelda, mon canard... you know me so well, all my inhalations are your exhalations.

The rules expounded
A different twist

Plastic leaves unglued
by dust and climate control
fall; whisper "faux-ku"

so true. a profound and moving commentary on the human condition in the XX1st century. man's inhumanity to man, and all that. the great intersidereal void inside us as we bustle through life like automatons, métro-boulot-dodo. bravissimo marc...

(how's that for a reaction hey ???)

parp!

pshrynk · 05-14-2008, 10:14 AM

What? How much more minimalist can you get than a four letter nonsense word with an emotion inducing punctuation? At least on this forum?

I was thinking:

L

But I have to have at least five characters and spaces apparently don't count.

An old one...

Without a thought the earth did roar;
Two plates once bound
for an age, or more
did slip, and unwound.

Distressed, at ocean deep
Land once level, released, now sundered.
Giants of waves no longer asleep,
Delivered ashore, wild steeds, no mere white horses; we blundered.

Galloping forth, unbridled, wanton, unchecked
All in their path
Were wrecked.
What once was, now no more.

Silence,
Force now spent;
But at deep it continued, defiant cadence.
Until another, rent
shook and earth did scream,
again.

A limerick....

There once was a lady from france,
who didn't have on any pants.
But here was the rub,
she sat in the tub,
with none of the bubbles askance.

Go easy on me, it was a first attempt.

A penguin dressed like a nabob
who goes by the name "pilobob"
took a stab at a verse
it could have been worse
all-in-all a very good job.

Patricia · 05-18-2008, 03:14 PM

An android, who was quite depressed,
Found poetry gave him some rest.
He wrote lots of verse,
In tanka at first,
But limericks suited him best.

zelda_pinwheel · 05-18-2008, 04:37 PM

In Paris one day late in May,
On the island we had a soirée.
But though rum made us bold,
it was far too cold,
and at 10.30 je suis rentrée.

Patricia · 05-18-2008, 04:58 PM

Good to see that you weren't struck by lightning, Zelda.
