Haiku Contest: Mark II
June 6, 2007
There was a time, in the primordial days of Beats Entropy…that I called upon the readership to battle us. In Haiku. Many live were lost, yet I call upon you again join the fray. The winner (as judged by the Arbitron 6500) will receive a fabulous mystery prize.
Rules of engagement: like so (points downwards)
Traditional (5-7-5)
Write a Haiku jerk
Would you have me look a fool
I will destroy you
Alternately you can write a Beats Entropy-style Haiku:
Three verses of 7-5-7 that tell a loose story. Punctuation optional.
Who has stolen my old life?
I commend you sir.
Were you not my dead brother!
—————
Let us ride this giant bee.
She thinks us her queen.
Tomorrow there shall be war.
——————————-
The worker grows suspicious.
Stings us twenty times!
The war is surely lost now.

Don’t hire lazy unicorns!
They are not like us.
Unfit for the mundane world.
——————————————-
Magic horse can’t get no job.
who gonna feed his foal?
Majesty don’t pay the rent.
—————————————-
Filly sees it on the news.
Liquor store held up!
Ain’t but one Unicorn left.

Suckling the sky cow
thousand year dance without pause
my blood is butter
June 6, 2007 at 1:37 pm
Your dry tears unwept
Heart bursting by reasons decree
Solipsistic end
June 6, 2007 at 2:30 pm
High, I queue for you
intent temper’d by false heart
the poem’s line too long
June 6, 2007 at 3:42 pm
What’s insanity?
To be without one’s own books?
Not gonna happen
June 6, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Haiku’s are tough, man.
Why can’t this be easier?
Whatever, AJ.

Damn you Aarron Sanchez, put your back into it.
I did find this classic though/
“Once I fought a bear
Except he was a hobo
I beat him forever”
June 6, 2007 at 4:30 pm
My shoes cause me pain.
Ok, that’s a dirty lie.
I simply can’t dance.
June 6, 2007 at 4:30 pm
I like this one too:
Little chocolate dog.
Why do you eat your own poop.
That is disgusting.
June 6, 2007 at 4:34 pm
AJ lists cartoons…
Five part series? Try just three.
Redulak is born.

No masturbation,

Man! Work is no fun!

The girl sees Ramon.
What’s that tingling sensation,
between my two legs?
June 6, 2007 at 5:15 pm
Papaya juice ingested
My courage swelling
To lose my virginity
————-
Is that fruit juice? Asks the girl
I proudly proclaim,
Yes!! Now- who’s your papaya?
————-
Rejection is cruel and swift
High school sucked, but this…

my cow dies daily
blissfully, he moos in vain
to quench my mad thirst
June 7, 2007 at 3:35 am
is cow a metaphor for
something not talked of?
once again confused
June 7, 2007 at 10:02 am
It will burst from me
but for now I hold it in.
This passion is mine
June 7, 2007 at 10:08 am
Gap’s passion is his
Oh god no, it burst from him
I think she is now quite blind
June 7, 2007 at 10:20 am
My cup is empty
Surely it soon will be full;
these things happen often.
June 7, 2007 at 10:22 am
Crap, that’s 6 in the final line. Disqualified!
June 7, 2007 at 10:27 am
these things happen *too* often
June 7, 2007 at 10:40 am
humiliated
damned this dislexia
my last thought was wrong
June 7, 2007 at 11:12 am
@max:
It’s only a metaphor
for my bovine lust.
Fear my mad symbology!
June 7, 2007 at 11:44 am
I punched a clown
So many in tiny car
Huge shoes assail me
June 7, 2007 at 11:57 am
My anaconda
don’t want none unless it’s got…
buns, Hun. Baby got back.
June 8, 2007 at 9:28 am
I laughed at that rhyme
what the fuck is wrong with me
I need to get out
June 11, 2007 at 8:33 am
Sour cream, straight up
Raw, uncut… my freebase dream
No nothin’, just curdle
June 12, 2007 at 11:43 am
Wasn’t this a contest?
What happened to Arbitron?
I demand closure
June 12, 2007 at 11:49 am
Fair enough.
The contest is now closed to new entry’s.
I will now feed the information into the Arbirtion 6500 and await a winner selection.
June 13, 2007 at 2:18 pm
so…What did I win?
June 14, 2007 at 1:54 pm
If freebasing sour cream for the sake of poetry doesn’t bring me greater status and monetary gain…
June 15, 2007 at 11:28 am
Hi…witness the queen of the puns. I deserve the…erm…what are we after again?
