I am Jack's smirking revenge
Or, simply, 'Crabcakes', as I'm
Known to my Mother.

Okay Den, first I see you scorning Shea that there should be 5 syllables, then it's 7, so is it 5, 7, 5? Gotta go... classes in... oh cr**, three minutes ago... I told you yesterday, no posting during school... you thing the teacher's gonna notice I'm late? He would I'm afraid...

Yes Jay I posted this in my initial post to my haiku thread...


Haiku:
1. A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.

known to my mother
the meaning of confusion
but where are we now?

But where are we now?
Herman the German, stop yer
Fussin' and squirmin'.

Shea

Fussin' and squirmin'
as Twain educates us all
seems few understand

Seems few understand
That I like my martini
Shaken and not stirred

Shaken and not stirred
It's strange, he likes to jostle
His beverages.

b
10-08-2003, 06:32 PM
His beverages
By which he drowns his sorrows,
Cares that weigh on him

Shea
10-09-2003, 08:00 AM
cares that weigh on him
will soon pass through life and time
all will mean nothing

All will mean nothing
"Also" sprach Zarathustra

Nihilism died
Sorry, I mistook sorrow
For a jostling.

Shea
10-09-2003, 05:37 PM
for a jostling
what will we do? Attention
is the gold of most

Jay

Is the gold of most
Gold of all the other guys?
And what if it's not?

Hey Den, hope you like my 5, 7, 5 :D

b
10-10-2003, 04:58 AM
And what if it's not?
Solipsism will conquer
Implosion of self

AbdoRinbo
10-10-2003, 12:30 PM
Implosion of self
Into the interior,
A burning silence

AbdoRinbo
10-10-2003, 12:31 PM
A burning silence
Into the exterior,
A quiet pleasure

AbdoRinbo
10-10-2003, 12:32 PM
A quiet pleasure
Of the excluded middle,
A blank fulfillment.

Jay
10-10-2003, 02:38 PM
:D Abdo, got your muses awakened? :D

b
10-10-2003, 03:41 PM

You got it Jay ;)

The haiku is done.
Never! I will bemoan this
fight poets, fight on

Fight poets, fight on
Kick those bohemian bards:
Push pens in their hearts

Jay
10-11-2003, 11:03 AM
:D thanks Den :D

Push pens in their hearts
You could even use a quill
Would be messy, right?

Kindda, sort of, like, cliché
Dull American?

Jay

Hey Bart ;)

Dull American?
With all the other nation's
Representants of...

Hope it's permissible :rolleyes:

b
10-12-2003, 06:35 AM
Hey Jay ;)

Representants of...
Straightforwardness, Empire
All on the same line?

Jay
10-12-2003, 06:54 AM
All on the same line?
Is that even possible?
It looks like it is.

;) :D ;)

It looks like it is
but was it really all there?
conundrum drains me

Jay
10-15-2003, 05:21 AM
Conundrum drains me
Some books bore me to death
What then I have left?

Shea
10-15-2003, 08:43 AM
what then I have left
when the well runs dry or have
we just poisoned it?

b
10-17-2003, 06:43 PM
We just poisoned it
With green venom, ages old:
Ignorance, Silence

Isagel

Ignorance, silence
cold like early autumn frost
freezes tender words

Shea
10-20-2003, 10:12 AM
freezes tender words
like that stuck-up teacher who
makes you feel just dolt. :x

b
10-20-2003, 11:57 AM
makes you feel just dolt
no bolt can hurt, no quiver,
except plunged in love

den
10-22-2003, 09:21 PM
except plunged in love
accept faith in the nonsense
expect more for naught

b

"Also" Sprach Zarathustra:
Nihilism died.

Nihilism died;
Nazi's fled by boat, by plane
To southern places.

Ickmeister
10-27-2003, 06:05 PM
To southern places
we all fly away. cry, die
painful, thoughtless rage

b

Painful, thoughtless rage
Foolishly chasing the sun;
Meltdown of Plato.

[the second line is quoted from a poem by a friend of mine, referred to as Giacomo Steef, or Stephen Dedalus.]
