Haiku Day The rules are simple...
you write yourself a haiku,
then you caption it.
I have difficulties in a large number of things, mostly things that involve writing and reading. It might seem strange to you then that I should host a website dedicated to creative -- and sometime amusing -- writing.
For one -- I am dyslexic, not strongly so, but enough to slow me down and cause me to reread and self-flagellate. For two -- I have a blind spot for writing poetry, I strangely lack the ability to count syllables, or to stick to a consistant meter.
To put it concisely: I have a tough time writing a haiku.
I also have a tough time drawing hands and faces, to solve this issue I decided to keep on drawing hands and faces until I was satisfied -- thus the reason for haiku day.
Enjoy. (I didn't so much)

| <guyPaulo> Good theme. Sadly, I'll be away most of the day though.... |
|
| <Carol> It is sad, because "explosive diarrhea" has 7 syllables. |
|
<Carol> "Honku, the Zen antidote to road rage":

|
| <Stormi> um... haiku is 5/7/5 right? |
|
<Lauren> Count the syllables
In most of the captioning
It's done correctly |
|
<Stormi> Thank you dear Lauren
Your assistance is helpful
now I should caption. |
|
<Lauren> Much too sweet for words
Excellent at captioning
Stormi has it all |
|
<Lauren> What we need now is
A day for haiku comments
How about it, Mort? |
|
<Stormi> Laughing out loud I
thank you for the compliment
but haiku is hard! |
|
<Mort> It takes me too long
to write in this haiku style --
arghhhh brain smoldering! |
|
<3Suns> Sometimes seventeen
syllables just aren't enough
to express a com- |
|
<Lauren> I know what you mean
Some of my thoughts are longer
not fit for haiku |
|
<Lauren> I have to say that
Today's captions are teh bomb
Monkies like limits |
|
<Stormi> not sure if limits
I like but the challenge is
something to accept
|
|
<mrs. mort> Please stop posting now
I want my husband back home
The garbage is full |
|
| <Stormi> whooo... I think we've been told. |
|
| <mrs. mort> :) |
|
<Lauren> Sorry mrs mort
I see you are unaware
Mort belongs to us |
|
<mrs. mort>
Be careful Lauren
I know the server password
Do not make me act |
|
<Jmofwiw>
Conflict arises!
Who will be victorius?
Monkey or Mrs? |
|
| <Stormi> Tickets, getchyer tickets here! Want some beer and popcorn while your at it? |
|
<Lauren> I defer to her
In this case, might does make right
Mrs. mort prevails |
|
<Lauren> Like Eddie Haskel
I am all smiles niceness
But please watch your back |
|
<mrs. mort>
You silly people
don't you know the big secret
there is no Mrs. |
|
<mrs. mort>
Mort invented me
because he was so lonely
sad tears stream down face |
|
<Lauren, the victorious> My tactic has worked
mrs mort flees in terror
a nonentity |
|
<mrs. mort>
terror relative
a matter of perception
quiet power real |
|
<Lauren> Come on you monkies
help me out a little here
Mort is one of us |
|
<mrs. mort>
how can it be true
one on the fringe has you beat
sharp words stab like knives |
|
<ElvisThePelvis> Mrs. Mort Is Mort?
Revealed All Of His Fears Are
Must Stop Touching Self |
|
<Lauren> I am quite peaceful
My heart is always open
It's easy to tearWhere is your glory
Being mean is too easy
Try being friendly |
|
<mrs. mort>
Do not think I flee
Like serpent slips to shadows
watching for new prey |
|
<mrs. mort>
Banter is now done
my meeting is awaiting
soft breeze now blows here
|
|
<Lauren to mrs mort>
I have to go now
No more witty repartee
Nice chatting to you |
|
| <ajiav> that was fun to watch. |
|
<3Suns> Friends, stop quibbling!.
Oh, Wait, this is Morticia
and Lauren? Catfight!!
|
|
<guyPaulo> I missed MEP today,
As I sat through boring sh*t
At today's meeting.And when I came back
Its "Lauren versus Mrs. Mort"
Which is pretty cool. Let's break out the tub,
And fill it with pudding fast!
MONKEY-CAT FIGHT, YEAH!!!!! |
|
| <morticia (formerly mrs. mort)> morticia...sweet...I am adopting it for myself. Good one, 3Suns. but I am going to pronounce it: more-tuh-SEE-uh cause I am not a fan of the Adams Family. |
|
<Jmofwiw> What go's ku-ku-ku,
ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-ku-ku?
A Haiku-ku Clock |
|
| <obtuse> HAIKU BATTLE! *atomic suplex*
*whirling dervish powerbomb*
*a punch to the face* |
|
<JulieK> I basically all
am hating the internet
it is retarded |
|
| <ElvisThePelvis> God, If you are listening, please put the insane man with the cell phone on MEP tomorrow. I promise I will stop killing kittens. |
|
| <GOD> O.K. You need to stop masterbating too though... |
