Haiku shit... Shit haikus...
Hey...
I'm new here...
I'm from Iceland, and I've been an amateur poet and writer for all my life (recently though, I've been taking it more seriously).
I've always written my poetry in icelandic, but after reading Fight Club a few years back, I had a little fit of writing poetry and prose in english, mostly trying to copy Chuck's style. Most of it, of course, sucked ass, but I have here a couple of haikus that turned out allright...
Please let me know what you think...
This one is from a novel I started writing, but gave up on. It was like a crossover between Fight Club and American Psycho. Mostly it was raw violence, combined with some bouts of poetry. I think the idea of having the main character write haikus was probably the death sentence... Talk about stealing ideas!
Anyway, I was only 17 and stupid... And it's buried in my drawer anyway.
But I discovered this haiku, although it doesn't make a whole lot of since, something about it seems nice to me...
[B]Human sacrifice
In the interest of science
Azsteks filled with pride[/B]
Hmm... It made a lot of sense in the context of the story...
The other one is a translation of a short poem I wrote in icelandic, but didn't suit the haiku form.. It seemed like a nice haiku in english... It's much more recent (written sometime during the winter 2001-2002)
tell me watcha think...
[B]The birds migrate east
They shit on selected heads
And miss their targets[/B]
...
You get it?
anyway, love the site, love the boards, though I haven't had time to cruise it all...
cheers!

[SIZE=1][QUOTE=ehquestionmark]Wow. This little thread got CRAZY. People telling me to abuse my girlfriend, people showing an alarming lack of respect for women as a whole, people questioning my masculinity in some kind of bizarre machoistic pissing-contest. Hell, I even got called stuffy. [/QUOTE]

guess it would be nice
if i could touch your body
not everybody
[size=1][b][COLOR=RED]"PORKING BILLY SHATNER IS NO WAY TO WIN CONTESTS OF BEAUTY, GRRL."[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
but got to think twice
before giving heart away
because i play too
time off from 'motion
pick my heart up off the floor
when that love comes down
without devotion
well, i'm showing you the door
i gotta have faith
[size=1][b][COLOR=RED]"PORKING BILLY SHATNER IS NO WAY TO WIN CONTESTS OF BEAUTY, GRRL."[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
baby i know you're
asking me to stay please please
please don't go away
you say i'm giving
you the blues, mean every word
maybe yesterday
i can't help but think
of one who tried to tie me
to loverboy rules
before this river
becomes an ocean, throw my
heart back on the floor
[size=1][b][COLOR=RED]"PORKING BILLY SHATNER IS NO WAY TO WIN CONTESTS OF BEAUTY, GRRL."[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
my foolish notion
baby, I reconsider
you gotta have faith
Georgie Michael rocks
Faith is my favorite song
haiku's nicely

haiku sing along
beats fighting over ponies
no matter how cute
Number three trimmers
and eighteen inches on the top
births God Of Mullets
O-Ring stretched out wide
I wear myself as a hat
Don't call me asshead
Never get so attached to a poem you forget truth that lacks lyricism.
A Haiku is five
syllables then seven right?
I am new at this.
Slice Up and Not Accross
that's right, hakimbey
hope i counted your name right
else i fucked this up
...
someone wanted shit
so right now i'm smoking it
you can take a hit
...
i made a haiku
that rhymed and shit just for you
how do you like that?
...
and now once again
it's time for a sing along
let's see how it goes
...
wasted and wounded
it sure ain't what the moon did
got what i paid for
see you tomorrow
hey frankie, can i borrow
a couple of bucks?
to take mathilda
with me and we'll go walzing
and you can come too
i'm just a victim
of a blinded alley, man
damn all these soldiers
no one speaks english
and everything is broken
and my shoes are wet
the dogs are barking
and the taxicabs parking
they can't help me none
i said: please stab me
and you tore my shirt open
and i'm on my knees
whiskey got me drunk
and you buried the dagger
in your window light
st. christofer's gone
just because of my kissing
the slot-machine knows
and so do bandits
chinamen and neon signs
and the strip-tease girls
no don't pity me
i asked all the fugitives
and they said don't dream
manslaughter dragnets
want a piece of the action
and so do the ghosts
just ask the sailors
and the keys from the jailors
or the old geezers
beware mathilda
she killed about a hundred
and she's after you
a battered suitcase
to an old hotel someplace
emotional scars
no primadonna
perfume and whiskey on shirt
goodnight mathilda
...
tom waits is awesome
this is my favorite song
this tom traubert's blues
...
it's not too good though
as shitty haiku series
i cry your pardon
...

-Tom Waits
why are you quiet?
i am very bored at work
need something to do...
Don't you know there ain't no Devil there's just God when He's drunk.
-Tom Waits
haikus are elsewhere
in general discussion
you ought to check there
new haiku thread sucks
too much digressing and stuff
plus it's way too long
Don't you know there ain't no Devil there's just God when He's drunk.
-Tom Waits
thanks for the tom waits
don't fret, you did him justice
he would give high five

the door is open
you're welcome to come along
just don't breathe the air
when pony is blue
feed him olives, wine and hugs
play some cat stevens
[size=1][b][COLOR=RED]"PORKING BILLY SHATNER IS NO WAY TO WIN CONTESTS OF BEAUTY, GRRL."[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
we pickle woman
we pant sex, ( well, in theory )
and share love, like agony.
life's pretty straight without vidalia :You_Rock_
not getting pickle
no matter, agony yes
we all weep sometimes

i am not worthy
of insomnomaniac's
bowing down to me
my haikus are worse
than lots and lots i've seen here
thanks for the praise, though
high five from tom waits
would almost be as awesome
as one from you all...

writing a haiku
is like a shot in the dark
a walk in the park
eyvindur your name
is great, is it a real name?
does it mean something
[size=1][b][COLOR=RED]"PORKING BILLY SHATNER IS NO WAY TO WIN CONTESTS OF BEAUTY, GRRL."[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
Viking from the north
predator with bloodstained sword
Hrafin rides the wind
actually my name
can mean a lucky soldier
also something else
there was a people
in europe called the vindur
and ey means island
so eyvindur means
an island living vindur
who is a soldier
yes the name is real
it's the one i was born with
thanks, i like it too
...
love, eyvi

death is not the end
it is the great beginning
of burning in hell
I miss the kl0pper
blushing in his fuck-me pumps
want to scoop him up
I died but once more
I live to make you horny
my lust dies never
don't really care but
summer is buttter and burn
napping on the beach
by special request
this thread is included here
hall of infamy
Living before Time
Dead before revelation
Vanish grain of sand
I sure hate hiakus
lowest form of poetry
they sure do suck ass
