Haiku
First let me thank Myoshi and Julias for checking out my Novapup site. I'll keep everyone posted when I have something more to show.
Anyhow, I was digging through my old files and found some Haiku I had written even before I became interested in Japanese culture. Yes, Haiku, an elite form of Japanese poetry. I'm sure Sw33tSamurai can appreciate these. (She writes poetry herself y'know.)
If you don't know much about Haiku, you should look into it; it makes my crass writing so much more humorous.
here they are:
Up a sheer cliff face
The lone climber ascends it
Sometimes ropes just break
Brown leaves of autumn
The white smoke comes from my mouth
...Dropped my cigarette
Picnic in the park
The children have such sly grins
Ketchup on my face
A black and white cow
The conveyer belt shakes it
to the man with knives
Yeah, I'm no poet. But I bet you can't wait for my next installment: Refrigerator poetry! I've got those little magnets with various words written on them. You're supposed to re-arrange them into poems on your refrigerator. It's great fun!
Here's a preview, It's one my Dad wrote while he was visiting:
Always dreaming above in the sky
You never recall to ask me why
The wax in your ink
I glorious and pink
You observe it's but languid and dry.
(Remember you've got limited words to work with. By the way, this is a limerick, not a Haiku.)
