Visiting the zoo

a mother giraffe showed love,

the baby shivered.

Seeing gas prices,

it's place in the world unsure --

reality hit.

Who will stop George Bush?

Afganistan then Iraq,

who will be the next?

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":
...www.honku.org...

<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 tear

Where 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...
