Lengthen the strap a little

mostly sallow, need more sun
spandex would help too

Who likes the rock stuff

Well, you went uptown
riding in your limousine -
Park Avenue clothes

If you said bye to
Me tonight there would still
Be music left write

Austin you've not only failed at the rules you set out but those rules are wrong. Haikus don't have to be 5-7-5. They do, however, need a break, or breath, or caesura or whatever the fuck you want to call it, after the first, or second, line. For starters. You can't just choose a sentence with 17 syllables and call it a haiku. For fuck's sake!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 05:33 (nineteen years ago) link

haha!

it's like a jungle
sometimes it makes me wonder
how i keep from go

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 05:36 (nineteen years ago) link

wing understands beak
eyes call to the feet and say
"bock bock! chicken chick-"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 05:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I never heard of no haiku that lacked the 5-7-5 pattern, but I'm willing to learn from someone who knows better than I do. Which could be almost anyone. Also, in my understanding each of the first two lines traditionally describes a different aspect of a single image and the third ties them together. But as I say - poetry in general ain't my strong suit.

You gotta nice ass!
I like the way you walk girl!
Fries come with that shake?

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 06:03 (nineteen years ago) link

Sorry, I don't know why I got so exercised about it.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 30 March 2005 06:05 (nineteen years ago) link

So...no duel at dawn then? Damnit!

when you're sitting back
in your rose pink cadillac
send me dead flowers

Come along and ride
On a fantastic voyage
Slide slippity slide

And right now, right now
It's time to KICK OUT THE JAMS

there's a man outside
in a long coat, gray hat
smoking a cigarette

THE MASTER IS BACK

When I was just a
Baby, my mama said don't
Ever play with guns

But I shot a man
Back in Reno, Nevada
Just to watch him die

And that train whistle
When I hear it blowin' I
Hang my head and cry

I can see for miles
I can see for miles and miles
Miles and miles and miles

Master of Puppets
Pulled your strings twisted your mind,
smashed your dreams MASTER

Drifting further everyday
Lost within myself

Man in a trenchcoat
Badge out, laid-off, says "Bad cough"
Look out, kid - thing done.
