The Haiku Korner

Feeding the monkey

This dude is extremely tired

No time for Haiku   

Fucking eh, throwing rocks there, dude.

WRENS ALL ROUND THE BRANCHES,
HOMELESS MUCH LIKE ME."
(Meekon5) Nice one Dude.

@Uber Dude & M5: I think quite a few of us were aware (and occasional abusers) of the haiku form/genre, already - some weren't; whatever, I am really digging what Dudes are coming up with.   Enjoyed yours, M5 - any more? Kudos for getting the ball rolling, Uber. It might be a good idea - just rolling here - at some point (a few months, year) to collect Dude scribblings (on various threads) with a view to publishing a book. To be sold to raise funds for a Dude project (any more news on the Dude Internet Site?) or KIVA, or some such. I dunno, a Forum Annual*, perhaps - with art work. musings - you all know the type of thing (I'm thinking of Python books for inspiration).  
* or Dudeism Annual - with 'best' Dudespaper articles of the year, too.

The hubby and I were talking last night about maybe using some haikus in the book that is being written now, Tao of the Dude.  What do you think about that?

[cakebelly]

For some reason I thought the Tao of The Dude was done and dusted (save for editing) - don't know why I thought that. If they are still looking for stuff - sure, why not. I still like the idea of an annual publication, though - think it would be fun.

Spam: I reported this fucker yesterday - appears to  be dedicating a lot of time to pissing us off (a pissed-off christy? dude with a grudge or just a bot? seems personal). Anyway, fuck it - can't keep pace with latest posts)

[Uberdude]

You could be totally right.  I'm new to all of this.  Maybe we could just publish a "Dude-Ku"?

[cakebelly]

"Just Dude-Ku?"

Not sure that there will ever be enough to fill a decent sized book - don't know:
Dudeism annual?
Strictly dudeku? Just rolling
the pins are stacked

I have completely overlooked the colour text option - I'm gonna do some colouring-in 

[Uberdude]

I'm sure this group would be up to the task.  We could break it us by subject just like the forum.  It might be kind of cool.

[cakebelly]

Possibly, but then there's a danger that the dude-kus may be kinda contrived (to fit into a category); or a sense may develop that they are being judged worthy of book inclusion - and so lose any spontaneity/fun. Then I could be over-thinking it. Fuck it, do other Dudes wanna roll on this idea?

Shit dude, all haikus are contrived. Just go ahead a do it cakes. Set it up somewhere on the forum then wait to see who rolls.
I think once the dudes get the basic idea you should have at least a few contributing...maybe. But ya gotta remember rev cakebelly sir, this IS the dudeist forum...low standards and even lower expectations and all that!
Strikes and gutters dude...strikes and gutters.

" . . contrived"
You could be right, there, CC - you could be right; I can't get comfy on my rug today. As to doing it I guess that's what we've been doing. If Uber wants to set up a category or two we could see how we go (in my head I'll be rolling with the annual idea, though).   

[Uberdude]

I'd roll with whatever other Dudes want to abide by.  Hey, it's all good with me.  If not, we can just go bowling.

[cakebelly]

How do you wanna set up the pins, Uber?.

[Uberdude]

I guess we should first come up with topic ideas.  How formal or informal you want those topics to be is the question.  I'm thinking things like, Departed Dudes, Dudeism, Oat Soda, Bowling, Driving Around, Great Dudes, The Dude Himself, Acid Flashback (for the ones that really don't make sense or are about actual flashbacks), The Female Form, Aggression, Nihaliasts, Human Paraquats, etc.... chime in everybody...

[Uberdude]

Yes!  That's a great topic!!!
