  1. Haiku? Load of toss
    Japanese pretentious crap
    Barely a poem


    Geddit? :smile:

  2. Cheers Gliddo,

    I totally appreciate the 5-7-5 structure of the Haiku, and my poor attempt at a verse is a little embarrassing.

    Thanks

  3. It's actually piss easy to make up poor ones. I do it in the car on the way to work.
    Making up a good one - well, you probably have to be a poet.

    On the other hand, it's prompting me to write song lyrics, which is necessary, as if you're in a band and you play stuff, you need to have something you can sing to it, no matter how rubbish.

  4. Abandon all hope
    Economic meltdown’s here
    So bring out your dead.

  5. Poor old Lance Armstrong
    Stripped of so many titles
    All those drugs for naught.

  6. OK, try this:

    Pretentious, moi? No!
    Load of bollocks, sure enough
    Composing haiku.

  7. That's what I've found. But would genuinely good ones be any more appreciated?

  8. I doubt it. But making up anything is amusing.

  9. Red yellow brown trees
    Bellowing in Autumn gales
    Heading for a fall.

  12. Boy got his feet burned
    Trying to keep his distance
    From Jimmy Savile



    Just one for all you "boy stood on the burning deck" and Savile fans.

  17. Both alive and dead
    Since his wave function collapsed
    Schrödinger’s poor cat.

    * OK, I know - the ambiguity ends with the collapse of the wave function.

  18. Quantum theory
    The basis of all strangeness
    Anything could be real
     
    #158 gliddofglood, Oct 19, 2012
  19. Oh I get it - if anything could be real, five could be four, or six. Ha Ha.
