What Makes a Five Syllable Haiku Unique?

[Jelfish]

haikus really suck
japanese poetry, should
not be read. burn it.

Haiku's it! Really!
Burn suck-read, Japanese be!
Poetry! not should...

 

[yourdadonapogostick]

why are you confused?
...your dad on a pogo stick...
don't you get it yet?

bookside candelight
penumbras on the poet's face
blackened fly husks

 

[zoobyshoe]

Steely Dan sounds "off".
Wide spreading body-packed beach.
DJ says its Sting.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Waves whispering roar
surfer flicks wet sand hair head,
he's pee'd in his suit.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Surf pulls surfer up.
Swells throw sun glints on a babe.
Baby bites frisbee.

 

[zoobyshoe]

The vast barefoot beach
trods rotting knots of seaweed
and little flies swarm

 

[Jelfish]

zoobyshoe!

I enjoy your haiku punchlines.

 

[Math Is Hard]

midnight now, can't sleep
make-up smeared eyes glint at me.
clown at my window.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I enjoy your haiku punchlines.

Can't take credit. I plagiarized that from a beach T-Shirt: I pee in my wet suit.

 

[zoobyshoe]

midnight now, can't sleep
make-up smeared eyes glint at me.
clown at my window.

Greaspaint prints on glass,
red sponge nose pressed flat on glass?
Baseball bat should work.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Greaspaint prints on glass,
Red sponge nose pressed flat on glass,
Baseball bat should work.

zoob, I'm laughing so hard it hurts.

ooh, man, I hope Hypatia doesn't come in here.

 

[hypnagogue]

gentle hands tremble
through ephemeral sands
eternal tides thunder

 

[yourdadonapogostick]

bob no like haiku.
haiku is for cool kids.
bob is not that cool.

 

[yourdadonapogostick]

I am Jack's colon.
I get cancer; I kill Jack.
Haiku from Fight Club

 

[zoobyshoe]

gentle hands tremble
through ephemeral sands
eternal tides thunder

Thought man taps keyboard,
decrypting cosmic footnotes
while demons chatter.

bob no like haiku.
haiku is for cool kids.
bob is not that cool.

 

[zoobyshoe]

zoob, I'm laughing so hard it hurts.

ooh, man, I hope Hypatia doesn't come in here.

Rofling woman's cat
stares at her in annoyance:
"I'm trying to nap!"
