Haikus

[Izzy]

EdoI cannot
Make haikus to save his life
Five seven five please.

[aids]

It's easy to haiku.
Just five-seven-five will do.
Any more is prose.

[sidke]

I used to do this,
but I really, really sucked.
So I kinda stopped.

[origami_alligator]

It's easy to haiku.
Just five-seven-five will do.
Any more is prose.

Yet twice in a row
You have made the first line six,
rather than just five.

USA symbols

Swirl Dash Asterisk
Semi-colon period
Exclamation Mark

Ah yes i see now.
I pronounced swirl dash as tilde
And full-stop wrong too.

Snap... thought 'twas English
Made out t'be American
They have to differ.

[Izzy]

The beautiful sport
Is called football not soccer.
American? Shan't.

But I have to live
With people of this island
Which is much, much worse.


Apparently there's
A spambot on the loose
Admins, delete it.

[Seneschal]

What? Write a haiku?
Poetry is not my thing
But I can write prose.

[Cheez]

Haikus are not hard
If you have the right know-how
That is all it takes.

System of a Down
A great band to bang your head
to and thrash around.

so i herd u liek
a certain Pokemon called
Mudkip, Water type.

You are right again.
I just mix up five and six.
My apologies.

[SlappyMcGee]

I miss the days when
it was possible to get
pizza without fear.

[Cheez]

So, five seven five
It isn't that difficult
Just use your noggin.

[capt_weasle]

Bang bang bang bang bang
I missed the bird once again
The stupid dog laughs

[OneSevenNine]

I'll try one, but
I really don't think I can do
these very well

...

Ok, I guess that's
Enough "I can't do Haiku"
Jokes for this here thread

[Seneschal]

Haikus are not hard

That is all it takes.

Thanks for the advice
I think I'll try and write one
It won't be good, though

I can do this now;
I'm getting the hang of it
Maybe I'll turn pro?

There was this man, right?
And he walked into a bar:
"Ouch!" he says, in pain.

Lmao
Rofl
Lmao

揚羽蝶
あらって羽化や、

aratte uka ya,

the butterfly
is emerging,
neanderthal.

Thanks to my rudimentary Japanese, here I present you a true 俳句 haiku of my own writing. The 5-7-5 form refers to 音字 onji, the syllables used in traditional Japanese haiku.

Oh wow, we all got owned. Also, if you're back... hi! I've missed talking to you.

I forget if I've posted my cool one here (I don't think I have - hope not, anyway), so I will now:

I can write haikus,
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.

Refrigerator.

Did you write that or do you just like Threadless?

[Adoniseppi]

Hippopotamus,
Antihippopotamus,
Annihilation.

[aids]

Here are some deep, good, and deeply good haikus I wrote a few years ago.

Hope Awakens
Lonely isle of pain
Stands among naught; daylight dawns
Shimmering like glass.

Optimistic Simplistic
Heights of waterfalls
Rip through skylines; leaves float on
Like fearless Vikings.

Refrigerator.

Hmm, one of the two. I don't think I actually wrote it, but I heard it somewhere.

Also, Life, wow. I like the second one a lot.

[Cheez]

The whispering wind
Speaks many messages, no?
So, will you listen?

[Snuggletummy]

Not my own work.. but it's the best IRC related haiku I've seen.

* Gforce has joined #N
<Gforce> Here by request, incluye.
<Gforce> Woah, that's a haiku O_o

The problem with that
is it isn't a haiku
when he says it is.

[aids]

My English teacher and I had a haiku-off:

You cannot touch this.
Cause I'm too legit to quit.
Stop! It's hammertime!

vs.

Baby, bye bye bye.
I can't sing; I'm in a band.
Now I only rap.

BONUS LIMERICK!

If ever you see a tornado
Put on your head a wooden ladle.
And cower in fear
As the whirlwind draws near
For cows will come innumerable.

Think outside the box.
You know damn well what he meant
(but without the hash).

Life247:
Stop writing haikus, damn it!
I feel outclassed.
