"Golden falling leaf
dancing, playing in the wind
still a falling leaf"
-- haiku by Buccaneer
96Jan24 6:28 pm from THE BURNING BUSH
"...landing golden leaf.
Maintenance worker, leaf-blower
again falling leaf."
-- achoo, by Allergies
96Jan24 6:28 pm from THE BURNING BUSH
Nuts, screwed that up, sorry Bucc' ... you did good.
96Jan24 7:06 pm This is from Zeylan
"Smoking golden leaf
rolled in a doobie paper
toking golden leaf."
-- Can I borrow a dollar?
96Jan24 9:39 pm from INFINITE RETRY
Bush, for your middle line: Maintenance worker, blows leaf
96Jan26 10:06 am from BUCCANEER
Ha ha! You guys are too much! Good haikus all around. ~@:-)
96Jan26 1:29 pm This is from Zeylan
You guys are too much!
Good haikus all around, man.
Whoa, dig it, heavy.
96Jan26 7:26 pm This is from Zeylan
Another haiku
Comin' on... Please stand back
to avoid the mess.
96Jan27 6:02 pm from BUCCANEER
Yes, Zeylan, you are too much. Much too much. Too much of anything is not
good for you. ~@:-)
96Jan27 10:00 pm This is from Zeylan
You say it's too much
and too much of anything
is not a good thing.
I say you are wrong...
Too much is never enough!
Haikus all around!!
96Jan28 4:20 pm Vile Ramblings from Null
Okay, fine, I agree. I'll post only in haiku. For today only.
96Jan29 2:50 pm This is from Zeylan
For one time only
It's a big haiku special!
Buy one, get one free!
96Jan30 1:31 pm from BUCCANEER
Arrrrrrrrrrgghhhhh!!!
96Jan30 2:10 pm This is from Zeylan
Arrgh argh arugh argh
Blah blah blah blah blah, you say.
Blither, babble, bleah.
96Feb01 2:47 pm from BUCCANEER
kick Zeylan
96Feb02 11:34 am This is from Zeylan
Kick Zeylan! Kick him!
Do it! Knock him to the ground!
Then he'll kick your ass.
96Feb04 12:25 pm from JSK
"Try and dis' me? You're livin' in a coffin."
-- Yo-yo
96Feb04 5:10 pm This is from Zeylan
Who is this "Yo Yo"?
What is wrong with our culture?
Rap artists are lame.
96Feb04 7:11 pm whatever from Dawn Angel
I do not want to go on this board.
96Feb04 10:15 pm from INFINITE RETRY
"rap artist" is an oxymoron
96Feb05 1:53 pm This is from Zeylan
An Oxymoron?
A Clearasil embicile?
A Stridex lunkhead?
96Feb05 4:57 pm from prima nina
Damn. My social life must have gone down the drain -- this lobby has made
me laugh more this week than anything else! JSK quoting rap, endless bad haiku
(a personal favorite), what else could I ask for?
96Feb05 9:06 pm nuqneH! from Captain Picard
What the hell is all
this haiku nonsense about?
Who started it, huh?
96Feb05 9:56 pm This is from Zeylan
If you read reverse
you will see that BUCCANEER
started all of this.
96Feb06 12:43 am I love Seanette! from Bob Blaylock
For all its popularity
Nobody spells "rap" correctly
They leave off the "C" at the start.
96Feb06 12:47 pm from BUCCANEER
Well, in case you hadn't noticed, I was trying to start a new trend. Silence.
Guess it just didn't catch on yet. ~@:-)
96Feb06 4:40 pm A death sentence from Magus
This is haiku from our polluted planet, yet is not so good.
96Feb06 5:15 pm A death sentence from Magus
The eagle soars free and landing on the stark cliff hacks up thick gray stuff.
The sky, brilliant blue. The land, lustrous green-except not in that order.
96Feb06 5:19 pm Haiku from Magus
D'oh! Let us try that
again, for it will be good.
I will try again.
The eagle soars free
and landing on the stark cliff
hacks up thick gray stuff.
The sky, brilliant blue.
The land, lustrous green-except
not in that order.
96Feb06 10:20 pm This is from Zeylan
It seems Bob Blaylock
does not understand haikus
are five, seven, five.
And that Magus guy
almost had it the first time.
His last ones were good.
But let us reflect...
Is this trip necessary?
Or should we stop this?
It's haiku madness.
It's a desecration of
poetic format.
Hear that thumping sound?
That loud, whirring, thumping noise?
Thump, scratch, thump, scratch, thump?
Japanese poets
turning over in their graves
are making that noise.
96Feb07 9:29 pm Pure Smack from CODE ZER0
Someone explain that 5 7 5 thing, or whatever haikus are.
96Feb08 12:35 pm from BUCCANEER
Explain the haikus? Perhaps someone could explain it in a haiku. Cue Zeylan..
96Feb08 4:07 pm This is from Zeylan
Five! Seven! And five!
Learn it, live it, and love it!
That's the way it goes.
Line one is like this,
the second line is like this,
and then back to this.
See, it is easy.
People have done it for years.
It's just natural.
It will make you rich
and powerful, and smart,
and even famous.
Chicks will flock to you
and guys will idolize you
like they do to me.
But the Japanese...
No, they will learn to hate you
if your haikus suck.
Haikus come from there.
I think they do, anyway.
Don't quote me on that.
96Feb08 7:33 pm Confusing proverbs from Magus
Haikus do come from there me from
there, you are not wrong Zeylan
in fact, you are right.
96Feb08 7:59 pm This is from Zeylan
Looks like you blew it.
That first line is way too long.
Learn how to edit.
96Feb08 9:37 pm Confusing proverbs from Magus
Just what in the heck
is that? That is not what I
wrote. This really sucks.
Haikus do come from
there, you are not wrong Zeylan
in fact, you are right.
I revised it. Now
it looks like something you could
read and understand.
96Feb08 9:40 pm Confusing proverbs from Magus
Dang it! I hate that!
stupid editing machine
is going to melt.
96Feb08 10:55 pm from INFINITE RETRY
Zeylan, ask yourself
Do you control the haiku?
Or it control you?
Gone beyond the line,
Of crazy, wild addiction?
Sick haiku junkie?
96Feb09 2:28 am nuqneH! from Captain Picard
Aaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh! - I tell you - Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh!
This stuff is driving me nuts!
Must head for the hills!
96Feb09 10:29 am This is from Zeylan
Haiku flows through me,
like the plasma in my veins.
Need a transfusion.
96Feb09 11:21 am from THE BURNING BUSH
I once knew haiku,
he was a nice little guy.
A mean dog ate him.
96Feb09 2:08 pm This is from Zeylan
I remember him.
A short guy, right? One eyebrow
across his forehead.
He owes me money!
I let him borrow five bucks
back when he was poor.
What a big bastard!
How dare he get himself killed
without paying me.
96Feb09 11:04 pm Fuzzy Logic from Norbus
Okay. 17 word sentences do not count as Haikus.
96Feb10 1:20 am I love Seanette! from Bob Blaylock
OK, I get it. Five syllables, then seven, then five again. With that in
mind, I'll revise my earlier attempt...
Popular rap is...
But nobody spells it right;
It starts with a 'C'.
96Feb11 10:05 am from INFINITE RETRY
Good, Zeylan, because
There's no Betty Ford Center
For Haiku addicts.
Wow. This Haiku thing
Could be like a contagious
dangerous disease!
96Feb12 10:09 am This is from Zeylan
There's no antidote
for Haiku Madness Disease.
Death is the answer.
96Feb12 3:34 pm from BUCCANEER
I'm already rolling over in my grave.
96Feb12 4:19 pm A death sentence from Magus
How many haikus
is that? 9... 2001
I think I lost count.
96Feb12 4:27 pm Addictive haikus from Magus
I see more haikus.
They are coming like the wind.
It will never stop.
96Feb12 7:13 pm from THE BURNING BUSH
The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:
Oracle most high
please listen to this lowly
supplicant's query.
While not at a loss
for words, I simply cannot
write like others do.
My first line has five
syllables, second seven,
and the third, too, five.
They keep stressing rhyme,
iambic pentameter,
and say I write prose.
Poetry to them:
always lines ending alike,
other ways uknown.
Poetry to me:
rythm across the tongue, and
opposing ideas.
Why do they guffaw
misunderstanding my works
penned seriously?
Oh what must I do
to be seen as a poet
by these blind critics?
I await your light,
piercing though the shadows which
have befallen me.
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
Foolish supplicant
Faithfully fills out a form
Bureaucrat rigor
Wise, ancient poets
Serene and afire with life
Silent, composing
No pen in the hand
Put your soul on the paper
Then trace it with ink.
For sagest advice
The Oracle charges you
To learn Japanese

I think we need a new room --- Haiku Madness...
96Feb13 2:05 pm Fuzzy Logic from Norbus
I think I'm gonna be sick.
96Feb13 2:57 pm from BUCCANEER
Wow. That was cool.
96Feb13 3:26 pm This is from Zeylan
forever knowing
the timeless sea cuts deeply
into the high cliffs
high above the cliffs
sits a solitary tree,
leaves falling gently
lonely little tree,
I chop you down and burn you
in my fireplace
96Feb14 4:49 pm from BUCCANEER
Bad, bad boy.
96Feb14 9:03 pm This is from Zeylan
"Bad, bad boy," you say
because I choose to kill trees
to keep myself warm?

Look! It says Paul is dead!
96Feb19 10:19 am from JSK
It said Paul is buried in tax forms.

No no no.... it says Paul has gone on vacation...

out of 575 land.

Number 9 Number

I don't really know.
96Feb22 6:54 pm Vile Ramblings from Null
This is a haiku.
It has all the syllables.
It must be haiku.
96Feb23 3:43 pm from BUCCANEER
I am close to tears This desecration must stop Please show some respect
96Feb24 2:48 pm Confusing Haikus from Magus
You should try again,
Buccaneer. Only this time,
Put spaces in front.
96Feb24 7:33 pm Fuzzy Logic from Norbus
No.
