Coo-coo for Haiku

For those of you that are new to the world of the Haiku, the Haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry. In order to appreciate its true greatness, each poem must be read slowly, with the focus placed on every single word. Examine how each word affects you, and pay attention to the images that the poems evoke. Listening to new age music may help enhance your experience. It might also help if you are incredibly, incoherently high.

Haiku sits on page
No rhythm, no flow, no rhyme
Not a real poem

'Late Night'
Jimmy Fallon to host
The Earth weeps

Stripper calls bouncer
Man shrugs, G-string full of cash...
Canadian Tire

Cautious soul
Softly pulls my finger
Funny joke

Comet falls from sky
A true wonder to behold
...Smashed my fucking car

Five syllables here
And this one must have seven
Pain in the ass... es

What? Six syllables now?
Behold, the free form Haiku!
*cough* Lazy writing.

Years of tradition
wiped away in an instant
by one dumb ass blog
