The Haiku Korner

[meekon5]

Filthy Haiku Dude,
Grasps at his motivation,
Arrested on the bus.

@M5  

Fortunately, for everyone's sake, I was too tired to come back online last night after making dinner; the haiku fever had o'er taken me but it had gone to the dark side  . Something about manual dexterity, benediction and glistening sandals. Best not to think about it  

[cakebelly]

Haiku Twitch.

I am addicted
The curse has it's hold on me
Haiku on the bus

Rolling rocks, Dude

[Uberdude]

Must stop haiku-ing
Have too much school work to do
STOP SUCKING ME IN!

Or just tell me to "Shut the fuck up, Donny!"

[cakebelly]

I am innocent
cake sucks not the uberdude,
essay away, Dude  

[Abideist]

Feigning ignorance,
swallows them ever slowly.
Now who is the fool?


( I wrote that about 5 years ago as I was finally realizing that I was beginning to know actually know less about the world and life as I was aging, and that although I could still use socratic irony to learn from, that it was actually making me look stupid to others, and the more you use it, the less respectable you become in the eyes of others, because there are simply more stupid people on earth that don't understand, and if you pretend to be stupid in a world of morons, you will be forgotten and ignored very quickly. The weak minded have no patience, or grasp of advanced learning mechanics. And in the age of information, it is easily manipulated or misinterpreted and distributed as the truth. So ultimately I decided that feining ignorance, can only cause harm, unless used in the teaching method to raise questions in a classroom enviornment. Using outside that enviornment, is hostile and dangerous. As with any other lie, or mistruth. It only causes more suffering and misunderstanding. The haiku itself reflects the question to it's author and it's audience as the truth can often be lost in translation by it's interpreters.)

[Uberdude]

As a former philosophy student and aspiring teacher, I use the Socratic method everywhere.  He's one of my favorite philosophers.  As an "undesirable" member of society (hippie, Dudeist, activist, anti-religion, gay-rights supporting, tree-hugging, broke ass loudmouth) I just like pissing people off. ; )

But that's just, like, my opinion, man....

[Uberdude]

I am innocent
not a sucker of uberdudes,
essay away, Dude 

I got one done and came back for more before I do the next. ; )

[cakebelly]

Back for more: a fix
mainlining haiku head-rush
the pins are stacked


one for CC:
 
cold heart but warm thighs -
Geoff: her strongest vaginal art
the dude her palette

(for the benefit of Dudes who don't know; the above is a reference to "The Little Lebowski")


M5:

meekon dude abides
under his turban glowing
smile that marks it eight.


A pic of a beturbaned M5 would have been best - ha, but that's what those fucks at the League Office would be expecting.

Caesar Dude:

Caesar Dude abides
in  deep woods  rolls serenely
no ball, pins or lane



DL:

Dudely Lama: knees
flex! the rug amazed - flash! spin!
a religion rolls out.



tea, haiku, tea, type
washing machine churns and whirls
cakebelly, in bathroom.

Jesuit brushes dust
from beloved reverent lie,
dude lies, reverently

Koog-Meister: (edit)

Kooger dude abides
among assholes: one dude town
haikus to freedom

LOVE IT!!!! That last one reminded me of a poem I once wrote:

Sunday Morning with Jack Kerouac

playing Spider Solitaire
at the computer
on a lazy Sunday morning
listening to Jack
oops!
my pants fell off
Now I have to pee
from laughing
sitting on the toilet
and laughing
I'm ready to return
not yet
sitting on the toilet
again
laughing
and peeing
thinking of putting
my computer
in front of
the toilet
then
I can work
while laughing
and peeing.

Odd, I was going to put a Kerouac disc on this morning (just acquired a CD player and dug out the dusty old MP3 disc I brought with me to US land); chose Tom Waits, instead. Love this poem, and what a great idea; will need a little desk, though - to put in front of the toilet.

[Uberdude]

Well, that was before I had a laptop.  I wrote that in 2002.  Now I just take the computer into the bathroom.  LOL!!!

[cakebelly]

  Well, yeah -  I have a laptop, too but a Dude needs to spread his knees a bit, you know. Sometimes he needs to brace himself. Small desk required. Another business opportunity, there, Dudes: toilet desks.

[cakebelly]

Questionable:

I abide in loo
toilet desk: prepared to note
heavy-shit going down

[Caesar dude]

Cakebelly flatters

He writes Haiku for the dudes

Caesar Dude thanks him
