  • Haiku's are easy.

    But sometimes they don't make sense.

  • Drunk girl passes out

    On a Coney Island bench

    People pick her pockets

    Is this a good Bukowski Haiku ? LOL

    Long live Mr. Charles Bukowski and Mr. Jack Kerouac's work, they saved me from despair.

  • @GoWithGrunge I have a bath every day I can,

    Im wasting water,

    but inevitably water will waste me.

  • @mandolaman12 Finally somebody who has something intelligent to say. The occidental adaptation of Haiku as a poetry form doesn't makes really sense. Octavio Paz committed a lot of mistakes when he tried to adapt the form. At first: a mora, or a character is not a syllable, so is very stupid pretend to write a Haiku with a 5-7-5 form. Besides, Haiku is not just pure metric, has a cultural and historical ground back that justified it.

  • poems i dig

    buried by sky

  • A mora is not a syllable....

  • The nineteen-fifties:

    Jack Kerouac set the scene,

    And the beat goes on.
